Found a lump, terrified.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share some feelings as I'm absolutely terrified...

Last Saturday I found a very small lump in my left breast. It's moveable (I think???) but firm and painless unless I prod it too much. I went to the walk in centre on the Sunday and the nurse sent the notes to my doctor who then called me on Monday to say she'd referred me to the breast clinic. I haven't heard anything yet... it's Easter weekend so won't hear until Tuesday I guess?! 
I also have random "pains/throbs" in my arm pit/breast but I wonder if that's paranoia... I'm 35 with 2 young children and I'm just so frightened. Does anyone have any advice/helpful info?

Thank you

  • Hi Julia, how are you doing now? I hope you're ok xx

    Love Jess xx

  • Hi Jess thank you so much for asking!

    I'm much the same to be honest, just so scared of what might be. I've developed a bad lower back over the last month or so (could be my mattress) but I'm paranoid it's related to the lump so I keep thinking the worst, it's very draining. 
    How are you?

  • Hi all!

    Ive stumbled across this feed as I'm in a panic, looking for answers, being Dr Google, belts of anxiety....

    Firstly I just wanted to remind everyone .. YOU, WE are not alone. I pray that everyone gets good news in some form.

    I've had two ultra sounds, two mammograms, a biopsy and a titanium clip fitted in my right boob. I'm 29 years old and was bang in the middle of trying for our first baby. I'm beyond scared as there was a calcium build up in my lump. Has anyone had this before?...

    Have you had your results yet? I have been told that my results will take 2 weeks. I asked my consultant questions and she wasn't positive at all which made me freak out .. I guess it's important to remember these, amazing professionals just can't say either way until the results are in. I agree, waiting is the worse part. I can't sleep either! 

    Sending love x

     

  • Hello!

    Oh gosh that sounds like you've been through a lot recently - have you had any sort of diagnosis as to what the lump is? How are you feeling?? 
     

    It's such an anxiety driven time isn't it - all I've had done is an initial appointment at a walk in, my clinic appointment is on Monday but it's so hard not to panic and freak out isn't it. 

    Hope you're ok x 
     

  • Hi Jules!

    Thank you for your reply. Sorry I've only just replied now I've been trying to stay off Dr Google all weekend but hasn't helped at all haha. 
     

    No, no inkling as to what it may be. The nurse said to me "it's not a cyst" but the consultant didn't say a word. I didn't feel the best welcome when I arrived at my local clinic either. I'm terrified of what the outcome may be. 

    Im wondering if anyone else has had calcium clusters found in their lump or around and it's turned out to be ok? 
     

    Im going to NY on Wednesday for my 30th and although I'm looking forward to some fun I don't want this to ruin my holiday like it did my honeymoon last week.... awful! 
     

    Thanks again for taking the time out to reply to me.
