Hi Lovely! There's nothing worse than this worry and I completely understand what your going through. I have lumpy breasts and when I stick my chest out it is also a lot more prominent in my left breast. I have small breasts so I can feel every single thing in them and I have been to the doctors so many times over this problem and I've been to the breast clinic too. I was told in the breast clinic that some women have lumpy breasts and some don't but a lot do and it is normal and it is 90% of the time hormonal. When people tell you not to worry it doesn't help because you just can't switch worry off and it's on your brain 24/7 until you get the all clear on a breast scan. Please know that 8 out of 10 are benign and lumps in the breast are so much more common than we think. The only advice I can give to you is to ring the breast clinic and ask them if there are any cancellations and give them your number and tell them how anxious you are and that need to be seen as quick as possible. I hope everything goes well for you and that you can be seen to as quick as possible to relieve the worry. I'm always here to talk on private message and I completely understand what your going through and how it feels. Take care xxxxx

Thankyou for your kind reply ️

I've actually just received a letter saying my referall is being reviewed and If I dont have an appointment by 6th Sept to call with my reference. I went into shock when I opened it and it said '2WW (suspected cancer)' until I googled and it said it was standard..  still not nice to read! 

I will call about a cancellation if my appointment is a while away thankyou I didn't know i could do this! I am so scared I have terrible anxiety anyway but this has just made me worse!! The lump is really big and painless and in one place, I don't check my boobs as regular as I should so I honestly don't know how long it's been there or if its gotten bigger xx

Hi I'm not going through it now ,but do know how your feeling, I found lump in 2020,,the wait is the hardest part.  I was told I had bresst cancer on the day of my  breast clinic appointment.  It was traumatic and emotional day/ time,But yours may not turn out to be breast cancer,there are a number of other reasons that you are feeling the lump,it may be a cyst,I had another scare ,in the same breast felt another lump,after going through  right breast lumpectomy and all lympth nodes removed, as it has spread there too, and chemotherapy 8 sessions, and 15 radiotherapy sessions. I was beside my self thinking it had returned, but it hadn't thank goodness, it was just a cyst,which didn't need any treatments. 

But if it does turn out to be anything sinister,the way to think is ,at least I've found it,and the sooner it gets treatments, the better the outcome .

It's not an easy time for anyone waiting on results,I'm also waiting on my second mamagram check results,plus I'm waiting on another biobsy result as I have been diognosed with vin 3 pre cancerous cells on the vulva,had one biobsy to confirm the vin 3 few mths ago now,and had another area of concern on other side,so that had to be biobsed,so I'm waiting g on that and the wait is between 6/8 weeks  as they have a backlog to get through. 

The way I cope is to try to tell myself worrying about it all ,will only make me feel worse,and won't change the outcome,it will be whatever it  will be,and nothing will change that. Try to stay positive,it realy realy helps. Good luck with evetything, always popping on here from tine to tike if you need to chat, as I'm sure there will be others who reply to your post.

The waiting is hard l have lumpy breasts and have had multiple problems with the milk ducts, eventually a breast reduction to remove as much of the lower breast as possible. lve had repeated visits to the breast clinic and now have an open appointment l can ring and will be seen about six weeks later. With each new lump there's always the thought that it could be bad news.

I'm proof that not all lumps are cancerous they are often cysts l hope they are able to reassure you, at the appointment you usually see the dr, have a mammogram and maybe an ultrasound sometimes they take biopsies. Do make a list of questions and take someone with you. They may have to wait outside the waiting room but they should be able to see the drs with you. My husband waited with me in outpatients last month, 

take care

I'm so sorry to hear about your health struggles   I'm sending lots of positivity your way ️

I am just constantly going through cycles - one minute it's a 'why worry when you cant change it' attitude and the next in thinking about having to write out years of birthday and Christmas cards for my daughter and I don't even know if its anything sinister yet! 

Thankyou for your reply and lots of love. Keep fighting x

I noticed a mark along the underside of my right breast Tuesday night while getting ready for bed, I couldn't be sure if it was from my bra so decided to have another look in the morning. Wednesday morning and it was still there but it looked like a crevice/indentation, I rang my gp the second it opened and they got me in within half hour! The dent vanishes when I lay down or lift my arms but the gp said she can feel some glandular changes and referred me the the breast clinic and told me I'd be seen within 2 weeks. I received a txt Thursday morning to say my appointment will be on Monday morning  

I have gone through every emotion possible, just as I'm in the depths of despair and mentally writing my will, I snap out of it give my head a wobble.  I don't know how I feel in all honesty, as my stomach turns I reapeatedly tell myself all will turn out fine. 
I read 8 of all referrals, only 1 gets a diagnosis. Heres hoping we are one of the other 7 

I am feeling the same. I wake up feeling positive and have a what will be will be attitude and the more the day goes on and I spend more time thinking about it and prodding the lump hoping its miraculously vanished somehow, i go to bed completely mentally drained thinking the worst.

I have noticed a pain In the area now too which is panicking me more, I don't know if it was there or not before I found the lump because its not constant and its just like a twinge every now and again and I do get twinges in my other boob, or it's just because I KNOW there's something there now and my anxiety is creating this pain... that or all the poking and touching it

I'm so glad you have your appointment sooner rather than later as its less time in limbo for you! I cant do anything until at least Tuesday now so hoping I get my appointment date Monday

Keep us updated if you want too, I'm hoping to hear you had a positive experience and it's nothing to worry about x

Yeah I'm more 'aware' of my boob, not sure if it's because something is wrong in there or because I've never groped it so much ‍♀️ I have no lump but google tells me horrid things about boob dents so I've tried not to look any more. I'm 47 and well on my way into menopause so kinda hoping it's to do with that. I haven't told my children (my eldest gets married in December) only my partner, boss and best work friend know, boss and work friend because I was at work when I first rang the gp. My appointment is at 9:30am on Monday so at least I won't be fretting all morning and I'll be back on here Monday afternoon with a phew  

Hope your appointment is quick. x

Yes I've made the mistake of googling EVERYTHING. It's like a compulsion and I cannot stop! I have had other health issues in the past few months (none life threatening) and honestly I'm now mentally tying it all together and thinking all these problems and pain are cancer that's spread, it really is a horrible feeling!

I have all my fingers and toes that you come back here with good news ️
