Lump/lymph nodes

Morning guys, I'm just looking for some reassurance from somewhere. Or some truths I guess. 
I found a lump that feels quite hard in the right side of my right breast. I also occasionally get a dead right arm. Feeling quite heavy. I went to the gp on Monday, and she said she could feel my lymph nodes. 
ive been referred anc now awaiting an appointment for a scan 
Dr google only leads to one thing. 
other people's experiences would be greatly appreciated please 

  • Hello Nickyjog

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a lump. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what this may be. 

    It's good to hear that you've already been to see your GP and that you're now waiting for a referral appointment. Please avoid searching Google for information. You won't find answers for your situation but you will be left feeling even more anxious. Try to keep in mind that the majority of people seen at breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any support and reassurance that they can. 

    Keep in touch Nicky and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
