Hi so I found a hard peasized lump in my breast about 4/5 weeks ago now. I managed to get a drs appointment after a lot of faf about a week and a half after finding it. The gp was great and done a very thorough check she found the lump instantly after telling me not to tell her where it was and she would try to locate it. I've had a lump before that felt more like a grape and turned out to be a cyst, I feel this lump is harder I said this to the gp and she agreed it felt hard. Anyway I got my appointment at the one stop shop breast clinic on the day exactly 2 weeks after the gp referred me. I waited for the appointment and was called through, as I went through there was a sign on the door saying that if a scan or mammogram would be needed that unfortunately this would not be able to happen that day (I've been before and they usually do it all there and then) anyway I went through to see this dr who spoke to me briefly and I told her where abouts the lump was then she sort of gently patted areas of my breast.. she didn't feel under my armpit and it felt completely different to any breast examination I've had before... the lump is to the side of my breast towards the armpit and she was pattingby the nipple and near my chest. She stated she couldn't feel a lump and I said to her well you wouldn't as it's here and showed her where it was she felt the area for what felt like 2 seconds ( if that) and then said really quickly yes yes very small and I said well pea sized and she said yes you will need a scan but we can't do that today. The health care assistant then handed me a leaflet and said if I don't hear within 4 weeks for a scan call up and that was it. This was a week ago and I feel really annoyed, I feel the appointment was a complete waste of time and to be honest I don't think she even felt the lump. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
