2nd Breast lump

Hello

i just wanted to post to reach out and get some support really, and chat to others who are also going through similar situation.

approx 4 weeks ago, I was going through the agonising wait, for breast clinic appointment/results, for a breast lump I found. 

id only recently been through investigation for bleeding after sex and had an incredibly anxious wait, for results, so was really struggling to cope, with another health scare.

I was very lucky as got good news from both concerns and enjoyed a couple of weeks of relief, and was finally able to sleep for first time in days. 

the other night, in the shower I have noticed another breast lump, so my heart sank and feel so sick. It's in the same breast as my initial lump and approx an inch to the left of the lump. It definitely wasn't there before. So back to the waiting game for an appointment. I'm trying to focus on the fact, I had a clear mammogram and ultra sound scan, on that breast and area, approx 4 weeks ago, so would hope anything sinister would of flagged up, even if the lump wasn't there, but in really not sure.

i suffer with health anxiety, so really struggling with waiting for appointments/results and worried about doing my job. I've not slept for days and just cry, so was hoping to reach out to others in similar situation.

  • Hi there

    wanted to drop in and send love.

    I've had 6 breast lumps in total now! All nothing but doesn't help you worrying. I think some of us just have dense/fatty tissue prone to lumps and bumps. they do tend to scan the whole area of breast tissue at the time so try not to panic too much.

    I am currently awaiting a scan for a new lump but this time under my collar bone.

    Wish for good results for us both 

    take care

  • Thank you so much for replying. I was having another feel today, and I have lots of lumps and bumps in my breast, which never noticed before! Some bumps feel almost ropey. I've never been very confident in examine myself before. 

    I am due on my period tomorrow, so unsure if this could maybe make them more lumpy.

    I'm tempted to Google have accurate the mammogram is at picking up anything sinister, but think it's worst thing I can do for my health anxiety :(. Trying to put it into perspective that I had a examination of that breast, 4 weeks ago, including mammogram and they were happy. 
     

    I am sorry you have so many lumps too. Think you're right about lumps breasts, it's hard to remember what lumps were there before. I wish I could have routine mammograms, to provide little bit of reassurance, as easy to miss new lumps when already lumpy xx
