Hi Michela,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry to hear that you have found a lump in your breast. Try to take heart that your GP wasn't overly worried. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many people have benign cysts or fibrous changes. It is also a good sign that your lump is moveable. The cancerous ones tend to be firmly fixed and jaggy at the edges. It is also unusual to have pain asociated with breast cancer.

It is reassuring that your GP has referred you for a mammogram to rule out anything serious, He is obviously being thorough and that is what you need at a time like this. We all go into panic mode at the mention of cancer and all the waiting is torture.

It is natural that you should worry about your children. I have 2, who were young teenagers when I was first diagnosed 12 years ago. I had another bout the following year. Since then I have seen them leave school, go to university, graduate, find gainful employment, marry and have a family of their own. I still lead a busy and fulfilled life.

I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found when you have your mammogram.

Please keep in touch and let us know when you're due to get your mammogram and, how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
