Hi Chelsea,

A very warm welcome to our forum. 

I am sorry to hear of the worry that your symptoms are causing you. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say what your outcome is likely to be, as all cancers are different and it is impossible to be sure whether or not cancer is present, without the results of a scan and/or biopsy. Many younger women have benign cysts, hormonal or fibrous changes. Only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will get a breast cancer diagnosis and, the younger you are, the less likely this is to happen. 

You are doing the right thing by getting this checked out and I sincerely hope that all turns out well. Most of us are seen within 2 weeks from the date of referral, so you should get a date for your appointment soon. This is always an anxious time. Try to keep yourself as busy as you can - this will make the time pass a little quicker.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
