Hello Elle 

good thing you getting a check at the ready clinic I

i hope al goes well 

love Lara ️

I'm nervous as lately been feeling so tired all the time, and then this! I just didn't think/know cancerous lumps could have a redness to the skin? I'm hoping it just a cyst but it's not sore doesn't hurt at all. The only other thing I am getting is nipple pain 

Hi. Sorry to say breast cancer can present in many ways. Best thing is to have it checked out. It very hard to not worry but until you have all the facts try to be positive. 

The first dr I saw Monday almost sent me home but she got a second opinion and it was them that said nope 2ww for breast clinic as they don't think it's a cyst . I'm hoping all will be ok x

Well at least you are getting to the breast clinic. They are very good and will check it over properly. Possibly mammogram and ultrasound after to take biopsy. Unfortunately then it's a waiting game for 2 weeks usually until the results come back from pathology. Good luck. Let me know how you get on. Sending hugs 

Hi Ellie,

This was me just over 3 weeks ago. I'm 39 with 2. Children and no history of bc. My lump is just above the nipple. I too was 2ww. We decided to self fund a private consultation expecting them to say everything was fine. I'm now 2 ultrasounds and 3 samples of biopsy later and I'm now awaiting my biopsy results. It's the waiting that is the worst but I'm hopeful they will be fine but feel like I'm unable to move on until I get them. 
I have to say this forum is amazing. The support from people all going through or having already gone through similar things. It's also much more reliable than Google. 
hope you get a positive appointment soon xx

Oh bless you I hope and prey that you get good results please keep me posted!! 
could I ask how your lump looks/feels? Mine is just below my nipple I noticed it when I'm shower thought it was a spot as it has a red mark but on closer inspection I noticed it was a lump that's rock hard. I'm so scared can't help but think the worst. X

Thank you I will let you know how it goes Monday x

Thank you You can't see my lump. I only felt it. It feels like a small hard lump. It's just above my nipple on my right breast. The gp thought cyst. At the private consultation the consultant thought cyst, the radiographer the same and was at the 'we are just taking some pictures so if it grows or changes, we have something to compare it to' stage whe. Her face changed as she saw inflammation. This made her do a fine needle aspiration which produced no fluid meaning it's a solid lump. At that point she said I would need a core biopsy and it would be better to go back to the NHS incase I needed further treatment etc although she said she was optimistic. Had the NHS appointment last week. They did another ultrasound and the core biopsies. The radiographer thinks it's a benign tumour but obviously were hoping the biopsy results will confirm this. It feels like a lifetime of waiting and you will get through it. Keep yourself busy. The thing is when you Google it, the only thing you will find is the 'C'. There is nothing about the positives or what else it could be instead of 'c', so please try and be optimistic even though I'm sure you feel as if times stood still. Xx

Oh yeah you cant see mine only the red patch I thought I was going mad, but when I went to the drs two nurses checked and both felt it. First nurse said she thinks it's a cyst the other said she wasn't sure as it's painless no weeping and the fact it's rock hard so she suggested the 2ww I had a phone call 20 mins after I left the drs. I can't even imagine how you're feeling with all the waiting it must be awful! Yes I just find myself sitting with the tv off staring into space etc, not sleeping properly either just wish Monday would come and go so I know xx
