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.

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

Hi I completely understand how your feeling, I'm 34 and whilst on our first family holiday abroad I found a large dent in my left breast so as soon as I got home I booked an appointment with my doctor , the nurse checked me but couldn't find a lump but referred me to a breast specialist two weeks later (yesterday) I went to my appointment and the doctor checked and said he thinks it's nothing but for my own piece of mind I can have an ultrasound, great I thought but no on my ultrasound the doctor found I had swollen lymph nodes in my armpit and she said she doesn't know what it is so had three mammograms then another ultrasound to take tissue biopsy from my armpit and boob and I need a mri and ct scan! So now I have another two week wait. I completely understand what your saying I have been an emotional reck! Hope yours is all ok !mines not straight forward as I have no lump 

Oh wow I'm so glad you took the ultrasound offer up. I definitely would have aswell as I think its so hard to make a diagnosis based on looking or feeling and it's good to have a look what's there inside. Did they give any indication of what they thought it could be? I hope the wait isn't too long for you. I still haven't had an appointment date its making me so anxious. 

Will you have the mri and ct before your biopsy results? Sending lots of positivity your way, it must be so hard the waiting game is really a struggle but I imagine more so when something has been found your poor mind must be whirling x

Really pleased I found this thread as I am in a bit of a state after being referred to GP today. I found a lump last week, it was very obvious and definitely wasnt there the day before. Its actually gotten smaller and I nearly didnt do anything about it as didnt want to waste their time so now I am veering between relief that I did the right thing and she panic as I think I assumed she would just say its all fine!

Really appreciate reading all your stories and wish you all the very best!
