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,

A very warm welcome to our forum. 

You have done the right thing by getting this investigated. It doesn't sound as if your GP is too worried about this. Moveable lumps are more likely to be cysts, whereas fixed ones are more likely to be more sinister. Not all breast lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts, hormonal or fibrous changes. The younger you are the less likely it is to be cancer. The fact that you have recently had a baby could also point to a blocked milk duct or something simple. 

Chances are that your burning pain is more likely due to your push ups, as pain doesn't usually accompany breast cancer - like Minty, I had no pain, yet I've had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years. You will normally be seen at the breast clinic within 2 weeks from the date of referral. Out of every 8 people attending the clinic, only 1 will get a breast cancer diagnosis. Even if the worst comes to the worst, breast cancer is one of the most treatable types of cancer today.

I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

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

Hi

thank you for your reply! Your response has really helped me not panic too much and hope for the best! 
I am so sorry to hear that you have had breast cancer. I hope you are ok now, physically and mentally!

I think the fact I have health anxiety is making everything worse! My armpit pain has spread to my arm and back now so I'm thinking maybe I slept funny or I'm holding my baby bad as it's on the side I hold him! 
i have my appointment on 7th feb so will let you know how it all goes! 
 

thank you
