Hard sore lump in breast

I was on here over half a year ago, worrying that I had breast cancer, and I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't! I was diagnosed with multiple cysts. 
This time I am fairly sure it is yet another cysts, and I've just been referred to the breast clinic by the GP. 
Even though rationally, I know most breast lumps (especially ones that hurt) turn out to be benign, I thought I'd manage my creeping anxiety and post on here so I'm not internally worrying all by myself! 
I do hope no one minds as I'm aware there are people on here with confirmed diagnosis to contend with. But I'm just looking for some friendly people behind keyboards to chat to whilst I wait! x

  • Keep me updated? It's nice to have someone to talk to whilst waiting I think. 
    I know I should feel reassured. And to a degree I do. But my mum had breast cancer a couple of years ago, her mother had it and her mother had it. As a result they will provide yearly mammograms to me from aged 40. I'll keep positive and chase the ultrasound department tomorrow! x

  • I will do - and thanks for asking. It is nice to have someone to talk to. This forum has been so much better than endless searches on Google (which is where I started off). You too - keep me updated on your next appointment. 

    It's reassuring that they will provide yearly mammograms for you especially with your family history - hopefully this will also give you peace of mind too.
