Visible breast ‘lump’

Hi all, new here and driving myself a little bit crazy. 
Had found a breast lump about 4 weeks ago - GP confirmed ‘thickening and lump’ and referred as USC -  have appointment in breast clinic in a week. 
Lump is now quite prominent as has grown by about 50% in last 10 days. I’ve also noticed some dimpling but only in certain positions. 
I’ve not really spoken to anyone about it as don’t want to worry my husband and hopefully will be nothing to worry about, but am panicking. 
Thanks for being a sounding board xx

  • Hi, your symptoms sound very similar to mine, I also have quite a large lump on my left breast, I noticed it around 4 weeks ago but left it thinking it would go away. Seen my GP last Wednesday and I’ve now got my appointment at the breast clinic on Wed morning, so glad it’s come quickly but also quite worrying. My breast also dimples when I left my arm up above my head, and if I clench my fist. Please keep us updated hopefully we will both have the all clear soon xx

  • Good luck today, hope it goes well for you xx

  • Hi everyone,

    just an update on my referral today.

    I first seen a consultant who checked me over,,for quite a while, she suspected there was something that wasn’t quite right and sent me for an ultrasound….the ultrasound consult and said that they had found a definite solid lump, checked my lymph nodes and said they looked to be clear..she wanted me to have a mammogram and biopsy, Mir waiting around then had my mammogram which also showed the solid lump. Went back into the ultrasound room to have my biopsy, it wasn’t painful and she took around 4 biopsies, then put in a metal tag so they can find it later on, I asked if it was suspicious and she said “yes I’m sorry to it but yes it’s very suspicious” fast forward to my consultation with the consultant at the end who said she was sorry it wasn’t good news but couldn’t say it was 100% until they can provide the info from the biopsy so they can prepare a treatment plan etc…….so they have basically said I’ve got cancer without saying I have cancer…..2 week wait for my biopsy results now xx

  • Oh my goodness Lilbell. I'm sorry to hear that. Sending you hugs and positive thoughts. It's a shame that they said that to you without having the results from the biopsy. I hope they receive them soon.

    I'll be here if you need to vent.
