Hi I'm currently breastfeeding but I've felt a hard non movable pea like lump in my breast! I had my breasts checked at the breast clinic a year ago but this lump just feels so different I'm worried sick gonna have to wait till Monday morning to message the GP I seen my GP a month ago and she checked my breasts because I had a swollen lymph node in my armpit and this lump wasn't there then 

  • Hi Harrysmum,

    I can understand this must have caused some worry - it's good that you are planning to give the GP a call. Hopefully you're able to speak to them today and if needs be to get an appointment to get this checked out.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Hey I have one of these sounds exactly as you describe. I was referred for 2 ultrasounds and it was found to be a harmless cyst. Obviously check with your gp for peace of mind but mine is a pea sized hard moveable lump. It almost feels like a little stone and I've noticed depending on where I am in my monthly cycle it comes and goes and hurts sometimes. They offered me it removed but looked into it and lots of people said it hurt so I didn't bother x
