Lump in both breasts

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience as me. Just for a bit of background I am 19 years old and had a baby in July 2021. Early December 2021 I found a small lump kind of under my nipple and I went to the docs to get it checked out. She wasn't worried and told me that it is likely to be a duct or gland and that I should come back in 4 weeks. Just before my appointment I found another lump in my other breast that the doctor said is moveable and likely could be a cyst. She told me that because I now have two and the other hasn't gone she referred me to the breast clinic. She told me that she is not worried at all and that she is following guidelines by referring me. However, I am still absolutely terrified especially because I have a 7 month old baby!! 
I also have a strange burning kind of pain in my armpit. Me and my partner did do some push ups a few days ago and I have been in a bit of pain from that so could it be that?
Has anyone had this kind of experience?

 

thank you

  • Hi 

    No I haven't had that experience , but wanted to reassure you that the majority of lumps turn out not to be breast cancer.I never felt a lump but had breast cancer.

    It sounds like something related ton your recent pregancy , especially if that's what the doctor thinks.

    I hope you get some good news and can enjoy your family x

  • Hi

    thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to hear that you had breast cancer. I hope you are ok now! 
     

    im trying to tell myself the armpit pain is all in my head as ever since I had my baby I've had very bad health anxiety. It seems as though the pain has spread to my back and arm so maybe its how I'm sleeping or carrying my baby? That's what I'm telling myself haha! 
     

    I have my appointment on 7th feb fingers crossed it's nothing bad

  • Hopefully thats what it is , but you have done the right thing by getting it investigated.

    Let us know how you are getting on x
