1cm lump found and scared.

Hi everyone

i found a 1cm lump in my upper left breast a few days ago. My doctor said it might be trauma as I also had a yellow bruise. he has referred me to my local breast clinic as my mum passed away 7 years ago from breast cancer. ( I'm only 36) She was first diagnosed at my age so to be honest I'm really freaked by the whole situation. Also lost my brother this year from a brain tumour.

 

 

  • Hi Devon,

    I understand your fear, as we all get scared when we are waiting to get a diagnosis. I sincerely hope that your GP is right and that this is just due to trauma. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and brother to cancer and, this will naturally make you even more worried.

    Of all the people referred to the breast clinic, 80% will get the all clear.

    You will usually be seen at the clinic within 2weeks from the date of referral. Try to keep yourself busy meanwhile to distract yourself from the wait.

    Doplease keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
