Found a lump in my breast. So scared it's cancer

I'm 36, and have found a (little) fingernail size lump in my left upper left side breast, it's fully moveable I can sort of move it up and down and in circles if you get me? It's a little tender to move and press but not really painful. There feels like a hard thickness underneath the lump. 
 

i had a fibroadenoma about 8/9 years ago I was diagnosed at the breast clinic after an ultrasound. 
i can not remember what the lump felt like then. 
 

i am absolutely terrified it is cancer, I have 2 children I can not leave them I just can't. 
I'm going to ring doctors first thing. 
 

can anyone offer me any reassurance before I start writing letters for my kids for the next 10 years!

  • Hi, I absolutely know how your feeling it is frightening when you feel a lump. You definitely do need to phone the doctors in the morning even if it turns out to be nothing it will put your mind at ease.

    Hope everything goes well for you, Good luck and best wishes 

  • Thank you for replying. 
    I've made it sore now and it's swollen a bit as I keep prodding and poking it about. 
    Im googling everything I can and I know it's not helping but I can't help it I feel like I need to know what I'm going into? 
    i just have a bad feeling about it all!!! 
     

     

  • Hi, I was exactly the same by going on Google and trying to find out but I think it just makes you feel worse and makes you start thinking the worse. Poor love you. Try not to go prodding it to much though, I know it's difficult as you know it's there. I was exactly the same as you so I know how you must be feeling.
