Hi Clark,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that you have already made an appointment to get this lump investigated. Is this with your GP or the Breast Clinic? I have a strong history of cancer in the family too and know just how worrying it is when you are waiting to be seen. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be benign cysts, fibroadenoma or due to hormonal changes. It is also a fact that 80% of all people referred to the breast clinic do not have cancer. It is unusual to have breast pain associated with cancer. It is also unusual to have cancer at your age, although sadly, not impossible. These are all positive facts, so there is still a strong chance that this is nothing to worry about.

I am glad to see that you do not have long to wait for your appointment and I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi thank you for your response.

First appointment was with the GP who agreed the lump was very much there and quite some size so made a referral to the breast clinic for it to be investigated. The wait for the appointment is both torture and also an anxious time due to not knowing what to expect. Im really hoping it isnt cancer but im trying to stay positive and if it is, theres lots of treatments out there.

I will keep you informed. Thank you again for your response xx

Good luck Clarke
