Hi. I don't have much advice really apart from I'm in a similar situation. Im 31 with 3 young children and I found a lump in bottom part of right breast last sat night. I had gp appointment Monday morning. Referred to breast clinic unde 2ww and had appointment given via phone by 12pm that day which is tomorrow morning 10am. I am terrified. GP said it didn't feel suspicious but I find that hard to comprehend given a lump is in the breast that I wasn't aware of before. I'm terrified for the thought of having young children and I have convinced myself that it is cancer and I keep worrying that it could have spread as I have never done breast checks before. 
 

I keep trying to seek reassurance that most lumps are cleared as benign but it's difficult, so all I can send you is Virtual hugs and what everyone else is saying that statistics are on our side. You are definitely not alone, get checked by doctor and go with the flow. 
 

I don't know if it's just because I've been using this forum but it seems to appear like more cases end up malignant than benign on here so I'm not sure how helpful I'm finding being online at the minute. Hang in there xxx

Hi so sorry your going through this, I'm sure you will be okay, I'm 38 and have two sons. 
 

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in October 21 and have just completed all my treatment. I just wanted to say that I had other Symptoms as well as the lump I found, I had a burning in my Chest, Discharge from my Nipple and was shattered. 
 

Even though the worry is eating you up inside, Boobs are so complex it could be a number of things. Take someone with you to the Breast Clinic if you get referred. The unknown is the worst. Once you know what your dealing with you will feel better.

You will be fine, think positive.

Thank you for sharing your story. How are you now? 

I haven't had anything else I don't think. I'm always tired but I think that's more to do with broken sleep and early mornings with the kids! 

It's absolutely eating me up. Like you say, it's the unknown that's the worst. I'll try to stay positive and keep busy. Its the quiet times and evenings that are the worst as my mind is in over drive. Xx

Hi tony 

I just had a heaviness no lump to feel , just went for a check as my freind was diagnosed and thought I was being paranoid , I still could not feel a lump on operation day , my lump was very small 1.6 early stage BC . I think a lot of lumps on here don't all turn out to be BC please try not to worry , but I no it's hard get a appointment and get it checked it's normally a 2 week wait , but if you can go to a private clinic tgey do all these tests sane day I knew more or less in 40 mins just had to wait 7 days for confirmation but was told it was suspicious in my 1st appointment . Xx hope it helps tey your best to not worry I hope all goes well 

Oh hun I totally get it, it's worse with having children, my Doctor thought it was a cyst so I wasn't at all worried.

i went on my own to the Breast Clinic, The consultant event thought a cyst, it wasn't until I had my ultrasound that they Said it was breast Cancer, I was floored. 
 

The waiting a week for confirmation was awful. I caught it early, after my lumpectomy they said it wasn't in my lymph nodes, as they took three too check, I had chemo though as it was grade 3. Im fine now, I have hormone tablets for six months.

I sat awake all night for 2 weeks worried that it had spread, once I knew I felt much better.

Just think how bad it could of been if you didn't find your lump, your getting it checked which takes courage. I know your Frightened but you have to remember that it's unlikely to be Cancer. Stay to the light xxx

Oh my! What a shock for you. I'm pleased it was caught early and you are doing well after treatment.

It's awful when I think about the kids. They are just so little. I panic everytime I think about not being there for them.

Thank you for your kind words and sharing your story. It's made me feel more at ease. Xx

Thankyou for sharing. How are you now? 

I can't afford to go private but I have my husband checking his BUPA in the morning. I used to have private medical care with my old job, but not with this one.
