Breast lump and swelling

Hi all

my left breast is much larger than the other - but it has always been slightly bigger. I felt lumpiness under my breast when I lift it up and press firmly there’s alot of pain and things I feel. One is like a long mass which is ragged edges and the other two small pea size hard lumps which I’m not sure are actually normal parts of the breast . I dont know what’s normal- I was so bad at self checking:-( But gp said she felt a lump and that together with the swelling she referred me. I got my appointment on Wednesday morning. I’m not telling my husband, son or sister because we have a small family and my brother just died aged 50 leaving us in a traumatic way after 5 months of illness .This year has been awful. All I can think about is I don’t want to put my family through that again, we are just pulling our lives together again. I will feel so guilty if I get diagnosed with BC . Gosh life is tough!

  • Hope everything goes positively for you. I feel your pain in the way of life being  awful. My son (6yr) got diagnosed with lymphoma in June and he’s going through treatment and I found my breast lum had a biopsy last week. As if we need that stress. I couldn’t hide it from hubby, we are both off work, basically shielding to protect our son. Just want to results now. Good luck!
