found breast lump

Hi, i just turned 25 and found a lump on my left breast 4 days ago, it feels smooth but solid i can't tell if it moves or not but i'm so panicked and i already have anxiety, im scared to tell anyone. i've convinced myself it's something bad so i'm scared to see the doctor and have that confirmed. i'm due my period so i'm not sure if it's related to that but i guess im just posting here because im scared and i've been reading other's stories and hearing their experiences, im hoping it's nothing

  • Hey, I've been going through something similar this last week. I'm 34 and found a movable soft ish lump. Went to the Dr's immediately and she wasn't worried but have an appointment at the hospital next week to make sure.

    The Dr's appoint isn't as scary as you may think. 90% of lumps are harmless and your ages is in your favour.

  • hey, that sounds positive for you, i hope your appointment next week goes well too. I did work up the courage to call the doctors this morning and got an appointment at 2:30. doc said my age and the fact there's no family history means the risk is low for me and she doesn't think it would be bad and could be cysts, fibroadenoma etc, i do have lumpy breasts. but referred me to the breast clinic for ultrasound. hoping i get an appointment soon. i'm still convinced it's got to be something sinister but fingers crossed

    hope you're doing well and not feeling too bad! this is all so scary! X 

  • Yeah my Dr said it was more than likely Fibroadenoma but the wait is very stressful as my brain always goes to worst case scenario!

    You will get an appoint within 2 weeks I'm confident of that so hopefully the waiting isn't long for you. X
