Hi, so tearful and scared as I write this 

I am 38, have one beautiful daughter -16, and didn’t breast feed and am not on any contraception.

So for weeks I’ve been experiencing random pains in my right breast. I had a breast specialist a month ago, mammogram and ultrasound of both breasts and all was ok.

However upon being breast aware and doing my checks. I was feeling my left breast, not the painful one, and squeezed it and felt a very palpable lump, the scary thing is I wouldn’t feel it doing my normal breast exam unless laying down, pushing harder or squeezing.

I’m so so scared  I feel silly that so much time was focused on the right breast and that the left one was probably just skimmed and they’ve missed this.

I have been referred to a breast clinic after an online drs consultation so I am waiting for that to come through, but of course I’ve googled and given its placement, 12 o clock position above nipple, and it’s feel I have already talked myself into the worst
