Breast lump diagnosis

Hi I'm 34 and found a lump in my breast, I was referred to a breast clinic and told they were going to do an ultra sound ( I wasn't surprised given my age and also being previously diagnosed with a fibroadenoma) during the ultra sound I was then told they were going to also do a mammogram and take a biopsy as she could see 'lumpy area'. I am a single mum of two aged 6 and 7 and terrified this time it's more serious.

  • HI Jo,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that you are so worried about your latest symptoms. Are you aware that not all lumps are cancerous? Many turn out to be benign cysts, Fibroadenoma or due to hormonal changes. It is a fact that only 20% of those referred to the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis and, the younger you are, the less likely this is to happen.  It is also a fact that many women have naturally lumpy breasts. Sadly there are no guarantees, which is why we all work ourselves into such a state at this stage. Fortunately, things are seldom as bad as we imagine. 

    Have you been told when your results will be back yet? I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found.

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

    Kind regards,
