I’m 19 with a lump under my breast.

Hi all, I know that I'm probably worrying about nothing as I do tend to overthink & look into things too much, but I have a grape sized lump just under my left breast, and it's really worrying me as it's quite hard. 

i know that the odds of having breast cancer at my age is extremely rare, but it's still very worrying. 

im overweight & I have PCOS, and im not sure if any of these factors have any play to it.

im in the process of trying to swap my GP surrgey over so I won't be able to get an appointment for maybe a week or so, and I'm worried sick tbh, I can't get it off my mind.

does anyone have any advice, thank you ️

  • Hi
    I know it's difficult, but try not to worry as most lumps do turn out to be nothing to worry about. It is important to get any lump checked though, so let your new GP know and I'm sure they will get you an appointment sorted ASAP.

  • Hello, is it possible due to the reason that you can get an app with your previous Dr? So you can be referred? 

     

    I have a breast clinic app on Friday and so scared I under at 34 it is less Likely but the chance is still there and really scaring me. I would really try and push to see new gp or try old gp as old gp should still have a duty of care? X
