Lump found on my bust

Had a CT scan which showed I had a lump on my left breast. I have been referred to the breast clinic and go later this week . I have had a malignant sarcoma in my groin 6 years ago and I am now worried this is cancer again . My auntie died of breast cancer on my mums side and my my cousin has had breast cancer. Could this be cancer again

  • hi Winn,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    There is no way of being sure, until you have some tests carried out at the breast clinic. Of all the people referred to the breast clinic, only 20% get a cancer diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts, fibroadenoma or due to hormonal changes. While your CT scan has shown a lump, the only way to be sure that it's not cancer is to have a biopsy. They may possibly do this at your appointment. You usually have 1-2 weeks to wait for the results of this.

    I am sorry to hear about the sarcoma and hope that you are keeping well since this was diagnosed.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
