Hi Llmaga21,

I went to the doctor's on Monday because I found a small hard lump on my left breast. He also referred me to the breast clinic. I'm 40 years old. 

I forgot to say. I don't have a burning sensation or dimples. But the lump doesn't move and it feel like something is pulling my armpit if I lift my arm. 

Does that make sense?

Thanks everyone for your replies really appreciated. The Gp just said she could feel the lump/ thickening as well and she would put through an urgent referral. Hope you are all okay, your mind goes into over drive. I’ve had stage 1 melanoma 9 years ago as well, so wondering is it linked to that. I guess will just have to wait for the appointment and try to keep busy xx

Hi, glad you e seen your GP and are getting referred, I’ve now got my appointment on Wednesday, only a week after my GP appointment, I’m glad I’ve got it so quick but it’s also making me wonder if there’s a reason, I will let you all know how I get on xx

I hope your appointment goes okay and all the worry was for nothing. I can really sympathise with you. I think when the referral has put through they are targeted to see you within 2 weeks, so I wouldn’t focus too much on the fact it’s been quick, I think it’s the same for everyone x

Thank you, yes I’m sure all the worry will be for nothing x
