Hi, sorry I'm not much help but I found a lump a year ago when I was 29. The GP said she wasn't worried as I was under 30 and to go back if it grows. A year later I'm now 30 and I noticed it's grown quite a bit now. I feel like some drs don't take you seriously when you are young and you have to push harder to be taken seriously.

I'm not sure what can be done, hopefully someone on here can help you but I would ask for another opinion?

Keep us updated with how you get on

Thanks for replying to my post. They definitely don't take younger girls serious and always fob them off guessing it's hormonal. I'm going to push for a biopsy for peace of mind as I'm still not happy about the outcome. 

My cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 34 but again she was told by gp the lump feels like nothing to worry about and to come back in a few weeks time to check if it's still the same. She pushed for a scan and unfortunately it was breast cancer.

I also follow a girl on Instagram whose was 25 when she found a lump and even after having a scan they still said it looks hormonal. After having a biopsy that's when it revealed breast cancer.

I don't understand why they cant just biopsy any lump on any age women as scans don't always tell you what it is. 

Please go and get your lump checked out again if your saying its got larger ️

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin, is she ok now? 

I am at my breast clinic appointment tomorrow morning for this lump as I went back to a different GP a few weeks ago and she referred me straight away. She said she thinks it's just a cyst so hopefully that's all it is. What worries me though is if it is the worst case, that this lump has been there for a year.

I really wish they would take younger women seriously. They always say cancer can happen at any age, but fob you off when you go to them with concerns.

Definitely push for a biopsy to put your mind at ease or you will always have this worry in the back of your mind, like me for the past year.

Let me know how you get on xx

Yes it's been a big worry for me for a long time especially now with it causing me pain.

How did your appointment go this morning? I hope all went well for you.

Thankfully she is fine now and recovered but she went through alot! Chemo, mastectomy and a hysterectomy as the cancer she had was a rare type and causes you to be high risk for ovarian cancer also.

Hi, I'm glad she's recovered now sounds like she went through so much.

The nurse today was able to feel my lump straight away and sent me round for an ultrasound. They couldn't find the lump on the scan despite easily being able to feel it.

She wants me to go back in 6 weeks time and if it's still there she wants to do a core biopsy. She said she wasn't too worried about it but if it's still there she will biopsy to be sure.

I feel I'm no further forward and I now have an extra six weeks of worrying. Even though she wasn't too worried I still don't know what it is so nothing is ruled out xx

How strange they can feel it but cannot see it through the scan   I don't understand why they do that to people and make them wait a further 6 weeks! X
