Lumps

Hld
Offline

Hi, ok so I'm 36 and have been experiencing lots of changes in my breasts. At the beginning of the year I had mondors disease (which usually goes on its own) since then tho my breasts have been very tender. I went to see the doctor last week as I couldn't take the pain any more. She found a pea sized lump in my breast and have referred me to breast clinic. Since seeing her I have found a lump in my armpit, slightly concerning. I suffer with menopause symptoms and I know that sore boobs is one symptom. Can anyone shed some light on this please. Thank you.

    Hi Hld,

    A very war welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms. You are doing the right thing in getting these checked out. Please bear in mind that not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be benign cysts or fibrous changes. Also, only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic receives a cancer diagnosis, so the odds are still good for you. Have you been given anything to help with the pain in your breasts?

    This is a worrying time for you. You will normally be seen at the breast clinic within 2 weeks, so I hope that your appointment comes through soon. 

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

    Kind regards xx
