Hi [@MrsHx]‍ 

Just a quick reply as it's late but please be reassured that "Breast Mice" are named as such because they can move around the breast and are usually harmless cysts.

It is good practice for your GP to refer you for any breast condition , it doesn't sound as if they suspect anything bad.

Try not to poke at it as that will make it sore, you can also get pain and lumpy breasts for hormonal reasons but always best to get checked out.

There are checklists available for breast changes to look out for so have a look on the resources page.

Sorry to hear you'll have a longer wait but I'm sure all will be OK. :happy:

Hi there,

Sorry that you have found a lump and that you're so worried.  It's always difficult and our minds do tend to wander.  It's great news that your GP isn't overly concerned.  It's pretty standard for GP's to refer everything into the breast clinic for assessment, and very few lumps turn out to be cancer.  Do remember that lumps can be a range of things, cysts etc.

Try to stay busy to distract yourself.  It's not easy but your worst enemy is Dr Google and over thinking!  Remember that getting things checked out is a positive thing to do and most times it's to rule out any nasties, not confirm them.  

Wishing you all the best.
