I found a lump in right breast when I was 19 and told my GP who referred to the breast clinic in the hospital where I had an ultrasound done and was told that it was a fibroadenoma and nothing to worry about. I went back to my GP as I was in constant pain and noticed the lump had got bigger. I was referred back to the breast clinic which they confirmed the lump had got bigger but only "slightly", the consultant said he wouldn't recommend removal due to my age. I was told to keep an eye on it and take painkiller for the pain and would be reviewed in 6 months time. I went back to the hospital another two times for reviews which each ultrasound showed enlargement, the last ultrasound I was told there is now two fibroadenoma that are on top of each other, I expressed my concern that the pain I feel was interfering with my day to day life which he told me "the pain was in my head". The 4 times I went to the breast clinic I was never referred for a biopsy. I'm now 24 and the lump is still here and no sign of it reducing in size. I worried that my age was the reason why I'm being dismissed. Should I be worried ? I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to do next.
