Hi,
I found a deep lump in my left breast last July and had an ultrasound, which was confirmed as breast tissue. Since then in my upper left breast area near the armpit I developed a hard pea lump. Which feels around where the lymph nodes are. I left it, ignored it tried not to worry about it, went to the doctor in feb as the area has turned into a thickening.
she referred me to a 2 week referral as I'm 31. I had the appointment and the breast clinician immediately felt the area and said she could feel it and said it was concerning... which immediately filled me with worry. She then sent me for thr ultrasound, the radiologist couldn't see the lump he said, he made me sit up and did the ultrasound, he first then said "ah ok have you lost any weight" to which I said no... he seemed puzzled. I then sat up and he said "I think it's nothing to worry about and just be sensible and come back if there's any changes". I was really puzzled as even if it was nothing I was hoping they'd said what the hard lump is even if it's like far or tissue... I asked if it isn't anything then why is it hard to which he sort of didn't have an answer and just said. "Yeah these things can change... I don't think you need a biopsy today, like I said keep an eye on it and be sensible come back if there's any changes."
I feel like I should be reassured by I can't help this internal gut feeling that they've missed something. My aunt had BC in 2018 that was missed 4 times prior to her diagnosis. I jsut feel worried as I don't want to appear as a hypercondriac but I've had different lumps on the same breast ultrasounded twice now and I can't shake this gut feeling but don't know what to do know.
assumimg I just need to suck it up and not go back now tbh. Left feeling like I'm going a lil crazy at this gut feeling tbh!! Sorry for the essay- feeling very dizzy by the whole situation.
