Breast lump at 64 years

I've recently found a painless lump in my right breast , it's at the top on the right hand side.Dr thinks it feels more like a cyst but is sending me to breast clinic as cysts are uncommon at my age . Has anyone had a cyst in their mid 60s ? I've never had a cyst before . 

  • Hi I'm 61 and I had a painless lump I. December 2021 and was referred to breast clinic. The wait was horrendous as everything went through my mind at that point. . On the day of appointment I saw consultant who felt lump and said he thought it was fatty tissue. Went for mammogram and then ultrasound who confirmed the same. The relief was immense. 
     

    so it doesn't necessarily mean cancer because you are in your 60s but I understand hiw you are feeling. Good luck with your appointment. 
     

     

  • Thank you Kels60 , your reply is very reassuring , it's very easy to jump to the worst conclusion isn't it .
