Yet another breast lump!

PPP

I have been referred to the urgent breast clinic 3 times now over past 10 years, last time in December 2020.  I have fibrous breasts and was reassured each time that all was fine, I did have a biopsy the first time but turned out to be all clear.  Today I have found another hard lump around the lower edge of my breast, the area that is lumpy any way.  I have had some discomfort around the area last few days and when I breath deeply.  I am embarrassed to speak to GP about yet another breast lump, I'm sure they'll think I'm attention seeking especially as I have been ill for 18 months with CFS so have taken up a lot of NHS time already!  Just wanted to chat with others who may have also had repeated lumps and may understand how I'm feeling.

    Don't be embarrassed to see your doctor. I have been to the breast clinic twice this year and was referred twice last year during Covid due to breast changes.  lve had multiple breast surgeries. and lost count of the mammogram's. They explained that l had an open appointment and that the scans are only snapshots of the day they are  taken and  to return if worried.. 

    The breast clinic are really the best place to reassure you l hope you have an appointment soon.
