Breast lumps with implants

Hi all

I had breast implants 10 years ago. I still find it difficult to feel what is implant and what is breast tissue. I've had a lump checked before which turned out to be a cyst. It stuck around for months. I was never referred as I was told it was nothing to worry about. I did end up seeing my surgeon. 

I've since discovered a tiny lump I have to push it with my finger tips to feel it and I'm still none the wiser if this could be my implant or something else. It's very small, soft and moves. My anxiety is through the roof. Is there anyone here with implants who has had similar or any experience they can share? Typically I'm told breast cancer is hard and obvious. 
 

I have an appointment booked to be checked.

  • I've been waiting over a year to try and get an appt, finally got a doctor getting back to me this afternoon for either a GP appointment or just a referral straight away I assume.

     

    The waiting is definitely the worst isn't it! Stay away from Google, I've had many a sleepless night on there.
