It could also have been a cancellation so they were able to move your appointment. I have just been through going to the breast clinic etc and found waiting 2 weeks for the appointment the worst part of it. Its good you don't have as long to wait.

I know it's easier said than done but try not to worry. 80% of lumps are benign and your GP said they thought it was a fibroadenoma which is a good start. Let us know how you get on x

Thank you. I will keep the post updated. I feel pretty defeated already, I don't do well with health related things as I have anxiety anyway so I don't know how I will cope if I get bad news. I can't even begin to say how much I am in awe of the strength of the people on here, I wish I could have an ounce of the courage. I just fear for my children x

I totally understand how you're feeling. Anxiety plus health scares really don't go well together. Stay off Dr Google, try leave the lump alone and keep yourself busy. The days will fly by and you won't feel as out of control once you're at your appointment x

Hi Missjades,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear that you find yourself in this unenviable situation too. Your GP is quite right in saying that the fact that your lump is mobile is reassuring. The fixed ones tend to be more worrying. However, you are as well to get this checked out, now that you have found it. Please don't panic at getting an appointment so soon. This doesn't normally signify anything untoward. The clinics receive many cancellations, as their patients often have to change appointments.

As Nunwardle said, this is always a very worrying time and you can consider yourself lucky that you don't have too long to wait. Please be aware that you may not get a diagnosis straight away. If there is any doubt your consultant is likely to carry out some simple tests and you may have to wait a couple of weeks to get the results of these before you are certain. Here's hoping that it is just a fibroadenoma.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

JOlamine xx

Hi missjades,

I'm sorry you have found something are feeling so anxious. Hope I can lessen it somewhat for you.  I too found a lump like you describe a few years back. Initially, they wouldn't refer me because of my age. I was 27 at the time but as it was still there 2 weeks later so they sent a referral. Waited a further 2 weeks to see breast clinic and when I got there they said it had gone.  Like others have said as it's not fixed it's very reassuring. Also there are many reasons for lumps; cysts, blocked ducts and fibroadenoma (like your doc said) so please try not to worry.

I am the same age as you now and had a lumpectomy today. Lump this time was a very different feeling - hard and couldn't be moved. My daughter is will be turning 1 on Saturday so know how you feel and here to offer support.

Big hugs xx 

Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. I'm not sleeping well at all with the worry. Im meant to be going to Spain with my fiancé 3 days after my breast clinic appointment and now im convinced I won't be able to go x

i had my appointment today. The consultant said it is a fibroadenoma, they used ultrasound and took a biopsy (I questioned why and they said it is protocol when you are older than 25) and said they would call me in  5-6 working days with results.it was 1cm x 2cm. They said they are not concerned at all, and they see this all the time, so I really hope this is correct I feel like I've viewed so many posts on here where news comes back bad despite doctors thinking it's benign. I hope you are all okay. I'll keep updated xx

I want to feel relieved but feel put off by the scary stories on here even when they took the sample and it was on the needle, I said "does that look characteristic of a fibroadenoma?" And the radiologist said yes. But now my anxiety is making me question everything. The consultant was the most reassuring, which I want to believe but I'm just so frightened, mainly with me having young children and working as a nurse so I feel like I see only the bad cases. Fingers crossed for us both xx

Hey, I had my results this morning and it confirmed a fibroadenoma. Let me know how you get on x
