Large lump in breast

Hi All,

A week ago last Friday I did a boob check as I do pretty regularly and was shocked to discover a golf ball sized lump deep in my boob.  I'm so confused and annoyed with myself how I could have missed this in the past.  My mind is playing tricks on whether I did miss this or if it suddenly appeared.  I'm in good health, dare I say even dodged blooming covid so far and aged 42.

I got a doctors appointment the same day and then she said 'I can't reassured you what the lump is' then arranged for a mammogram etc tomorrow.  Naturally I'm nervous and I guess what will be will be.  I can't take my husband with me to the appointment as it's the final week of holidays with my son so I will be going alone which I'm ok with.

Just wanted to double check if I will likely get an indication tomorrow on what the lump could be or if I will need to wait for any biopsy results etc?

I'm thinking based on the size of the lump the outcome is inevitable but trying to prepare myself for best and worse case scenarios.

  • Hi there, I'm in the same boat as you and have my breast clinic appointment on Wednesday. I've been following other threads and it does seem to be that on the whole, all the tests are done on the same day and an indication is given as to whether or not it's anything serious.  I appreciate that your partner may not be able to leave your child but do you have a close friend who could go with you?  My best friend is coming with me as my parents will be looking after my boys (I'm a single parent), just on the off chance it's news I don't want to hear.

    At the very least you'll have news soon, that's what I'm holding on to. Waiting has been awful and even if I'm given bad news I think it would probably feel better and more in control than I feel right now.

    Happy to chat or DM if you want to, please do let me know how you get on tomorrow, I will be thinking of you.

  • Good luck ladies I wish you the best xxx
