Found a lump in breast at 26

I'm Emma, 26 and on Saturday night I found a lump in my right breast. Today I went to the doctors, the nurse could feel it too and has referred me to the Breast clinic, unfortunately it's on a non-urgent basis due to my age. I have two young girls, aged 2 and 11 months and I feel sick at the thought of anything happening to me and leaving them. I don't know why I'm writing this but I just needed some where to vent. Hoping the referral comes through soon, but it's terrifying me that this appointment could change my life forever

  • I'm 28 an have twin boys and I feel exactly the same, literally having dreams of having it since Friday after the doctors, my anixety is at all time high.  I've got 2 lumps just above where my underwire sits, have had them for a while thought nothing of it, where I've lost weight now intentionally I can feel it more. my doctor is hopeful that it's just fatty tissue, as I can feel it, it doesn't hurt as such but it's tenderish so she said that's a good sign. I'm mostly worried though because my mum has stage 3 lymphoma non hogkin thankfully, and my grand mother had milk duct cancer. I had my breast clinic letter today it's not until the end of April, so thankful it's so soon but with my anxiety I just wish it was tomorrow
