I'm going through the same found a lump Friday went to the gp Monday she said it feels like an inflamed milk duct due to my hormones coz I came on my period Friday as well she refered me anyway as I suffer with bad health anxiety I woke up this morning and it seems to of shrunk so I'm going back to my gp tomorrow for her to have another feel. Did the gp say whether it was a smooth lump x

From what I can remember she didn’t mention it being soft or hard, though she mentioned how it being painful was a good sign. feeling myself I’d say it’s hard but not rock solid, definitely an in between x 

also I feel you! I’ve been going mad unable to sleep or do much at all with how bad health anxiety is, luckily I’ve been given an appointment in a weeks time but that + waiting for the results from it that’s 3 weeks wait til I find out if I’ll be okay ️:(

thankful that your lump has gone down too !! hope the gp visit went well x

Something we took away from our time during my wife's treatment and post treatment was the fact pain is actually a very good sign. Unless the cancer is pressing on a nerve, which will give of nerve type pain, BC almost always tends to be painless.

My wife found a second lump once all her treatment finished last Christmas, and they were about to get her in for a pre Christmas scan, but because she was saying it was sore, the surgeon decided it was almost certainly not cancer, so it was left until the new year. It turned out to be an oil cyst from her radiotherapy, so yeah, pain is a good thing believe it or not.

I’m so sorry for your wife I hope she’s doing better now !! that’s comforting to know thank you xx my nan had breast cancer as well and she also mentioned how there was zero pain, mostly just changes to her skin 

I’ve got my appointment date now for in a weeks time so mostly focusing on distraction now to make the time move faster

thank you again, telling me that has made me a little less scared
