Lump in Right breast and Painful

Hi Everyone,

Am 40 years old, with 10years son. On 21/08/21 while taking bath, suddenly I found a big lump in my right breast above the nipple which is not painful at that point and am in 3rd day of my menstural cycle. I want to go to doctor, but I don't want to spoil our family holiday planned to Ireland on 22/08/21 early morning flight. I thought to go and see GP after holiday, but from 23/08/21 am having sharp pain from my lump and couldn't able to sleep whole night. Am so worrried and panic, but am having brave face and holding on to the discomfort pain in my right chest. My husband says nothing to worry will get checked once back to England. But am so worried and couldn't able to sleep.

 

  • Hi Swakush,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It may be a good idea to make an appointment for when you are able to, perhaps when you return, and the doctor will be able to advise. It's easier said than done but try to keep your mind off it in the meantime - keep yourself busy, and avoid checking it as this will likely increase worries.

    Wishing you all the best,
