I dont know where to start,

I found a pea sized lump in my breast Jan 2021, unfortunately I never got it checked with covid and just never got myself check. 

Bring me to now (Thursday) my pea size lump is as big as a £2 went to Dr's Monday they've found 4 lumps and are very concerned, I've been referred to the breast clinic and I go on the 31st Jan just over a week away. 

Not going to lie I'm scared, ive got 2 children and put on a brave face to people about it but I am scared to the point I can't sleep I'm worrying so much.

Does anybody know what they'll do first? Is it just a scan will they tell Me straight away if they've found something so many questions I just dont know who to ask xx

    Hi Jshatliff,

    Sorry to hear you have found lumps in your breast. I am 35 and had what started as a hard area in my breast and is now a lump. At first it felt like when I had a blocked duct or mastitis while I was breastfeeding but that was over 2 years ago. I didn't feel 100% and had a slightly raised temperature so my GP gave me antibiotics to rule out an infection, unfortunately the lump is still there so I have been referred to the breast clinic. My GP examined me and thought it felt like a cyst or fibroadenoma, but since seeing her I think I have found 2 more lumps so worried sick now! I suffer with anxiety anyway and this has made me worse. Mine is also painful, was more so during my period, but I'm not sure if that is also where I keep touching it to check it so much!! I also have a young child so terrified!!

    My clinic appointment is on 31st January too. I have been told to expect to be there for 3-4 hours and they will do everything including an examination, scan and mammogram, plus biopsy if needed. From what I have read the consultant might say what they suspect but only the tests can show anything. I really hope you have a good outcome! x
