Hi,  

Hoping some people can give me some experiences good or bad. I saw/felt a lump on bottom part of left breast about a week ago. Skin over/around very red/bruised looking. Went to the doctors this morning who have referred. Said it's just over 1cm, not mobile. It doesn't hurt at all. I have a 16 month old that I stopped breast feeding 3 weeks ago but the doctor didn't think was related to that. I have family history of breast cancer (great nan, nan diagnosed around the same age as me (36) and my aunt in her 50's. I think this makes me worry alot more. The referral is showing up and I should here from the clinic in next 2 days it says. 

Anyone had similar and it been nothing? Or similar and it has been something? 

Thank you 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Monica although I'm sorry to hear about the lump you've found and for the worry this is causing.

    Many of our members have found themselves in a similar situation, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    If you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    Fingers crossed your referral comes through soon and all goes well at your appointment.

    Kind regards,
