found a lump in my breast im so scared

im 41 and breastfeeding . i noticed a change in my breast and a lump . obviously i did the best thing and consulted doctor google i am not out of my mind with worry . i went to the gp he has referred me for a ultrasound as the lump has no pain he also asked me when i got such veiny breasts i put it down to mb reast feeding but now im questioning if thats true or not he wasnt too concerned but i cant even think straight im so scared and dont know what to do . im a natural worryier anyway so this has tipped me over the edge . im trying to get a private mri but even that needs a referal . i just feel like im going mad

  • Hi there,

    Sorry to hear what you're going through right now. I also have a little lump and I'm waiting on biopsy results- they think it could be a fibroadenoma.

    As you're breast feeding it could be a clogged milk duct. Also Breast cysts are very, very common. I have had two of those myself before. 

    It's good that you'll have an ultrasound, and whatever it is can then be sorted out. There is a lot they can do these days if the worst came to the worst, but most lumps are found to be benign. I am also a worrier and waiting is awful. Try to get good sleep and be around others who can help take your mind off it.

    All the best 

  • Thankyou for your reply . My lump is quite large and just appeared over night after i noticed there was a change going on, theres no pain or anything so ruled out the blocked ducts etc . I cant get on with life the doctor said doubts its anything serious as its too small its about the size of half an egg so im not quite sure what he was on about . I am hoping its fibroadenoma i have obviously like the sane person i am been relying on google ... what a big mistake !!! . I think i may have to go private just for the sake of my sanity as im on day 2 and already feel like a loony . 

    how long did it take for your referal and how did it get to the biopsy stage ? did u have the ultrasound first ?
