Hey, Proud Mum,

Five? Wow!  Well, there's your motivation to get this sorted. 

The earlier these lumps get found the better the outcome. You've done the right thing. Now just let the docs do their thing. You may have a biopsy to see if it's a problem, but if it's small, pea sized, you may have an easy ride even if it is C. 

Mine is 10cm.  Practically my entire right breast. But the docs are confident they can sort it.  I may be having a bumpy ride, but coming out the other end for our kids is what counts.

Good luck. Have faith in the medical folk. If you are 40, they will pull the stops out for you.

Hi Proudmumof5 !

Sorry to find you on here, it's a really worrying time when you find a lump.  Trying to keep perspective is really hard but statistically this lump is unlikely to be cancer, but you're doing the right thing getting it checked.    It's important to be vigilant.  Before my BC diagnosis last year I saw quite a bit of the breast clinic as I had lots of cysts which they drained.  One seemed to pop up every year and they were never sinister.  They felt hard, smooth and moveable.   You will probably have an ultrasound initially and/or mammogram.  If they want to do a biopsy this is to rule out cancer too, so don't panic!  My cysts weren't connected in any way to my early BC which was picked up on a mammogram last year.   Stay busy to distract yourself and good luck.

Hi there

This sounds very similiar to me. I have just been to breast clinic yesterday. I am 42 and found a little lump pea size too which was moving but a bit hard. GP found it is perhaps nothing but decided to rather reffer me. 

On Monday my appointment, the consultant checked me first. She could not feel anyting but then I directed her and she was like, yes you are right and there seem to be even too. She said ok we have to do the scan to see what it can reveal to us. I was suddenly totally scared. She said we have to do mammogram and ultrasound. I said is it cancer. She said I am not worried but we have to check we can not just assumed it is nothing. Obviously I was very worried by then. By my luck, the clinic run out of appointments for scan so have to do appointment on Friday. So you can imagine what a week until Friday.

However, on Friday first mamogram and then they called me for ultrasound and the doctor said straightway there is nothing on mammogram and but let's check the ultrasound. Again, nothing there, literally very bumpy breast, two tiny cysts. She even checked twice as she saw me worried a lot. 

So what I try to say that not every lumps mean they are cancer. Also, after this I spoke with lots of ladies around me and I was shocked how many have been to breast clinic for founding lumps and it was actually nothing.

Sending hugs and postive vibes!

Hi, I had big hard lump on my left breast for a year I was scared to see the doctor but at the end decided to see my GP because it's started to have pain and sent me to the hospital for my check up . I had mammogram last year and telling it's negative . So last week I had checked by the breast doctor and had mammogram after that they did a scan and a biopsy and after that had another mammogram. So really painful that scan and a biopsy and now my breast was black and bruise. I need to go back to the hospital next week for the result of my biopsy. Iam now full of stress and anxiety waiting for the result.
