Firm lump found

Okay so long post after finding another lump and scared beyond belief! Wanted to see if anyone else on here is on the same position or can offer advice or support please to stop me turning grey with worry. So 8 days after my period I noticed a small firm lump in the upper inner area of my right breast. Got it checked out and the nurse also felt the lump so the fast track referral came my way for 11th Sept. The worry on my mind and panic I've ended up booking private for a breast consultation with Nuffield and went today. Whilst he wasn't hugely concerned he has referred me for an ultrasound on Wednesday because he could also feel what he said was either muscle infront of my rib leading to it stick out, or a cyst. He told me not to worry as if didnt feel it was a suspicious lump.  I

However my mind 0-million in that brief chat and googling breast cysts makes me paranoid incase it's a suspicious cyst. I've read on doctor Google the varying ones and some are the big C word and pr ing it's just a normal simple cyst if that's what it is.

Bit of background on the same breast. I had the same location checked in 2017in breast unit from fast track referral. Although the nurse couldn't feel anything she described as sinister, I insisted on a scan. The girl scanning did see something but said it fitted in with what the nurse told me about hormonal cysts. It wasn't ever checked though and now on my mind again. Arrragghh..

  • Hi Cath,

    As I'm sure you know from last time, this is always a worrying time, but worry doesn't change anything. Try to hold on to what you were told today and hopefully, you'll have a good outcome.

    Thank you for asking about me. I am fortunate enough to be 14 years down the line, from 2 bouts of breast cancer and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • 14 years down the line and twice been through cancer. Wow you are incredible Jolmaine living life to the full strong and kicking butt! Well done you for enjoying life and being inspirational for all oing through this with your positivity. Thank you for being on here xx  

    I will post an update end of next week. I saw images of the needle going through the lump as I was a bit worried incase they didn't get enough cells etc. They took 3 lots and went in deep and take photos during the procedure which I wasn't aware of until they showed me afterwards. This I felt was reassuring they got what they needed. 

  • Hi Cath,

    They are usually pretty thorough with tests and biopsies. They will have used the US images to locate any tissue that could be suspect, so they're usually spot on.

    Kind regards,
