3cm hard breast lump

Hi I noticed a large hard lump 3cm long and just over 1cm wide at the front of my right breast that appeared overnight. Had just started a period and saw online some lumps can be hormonal and disappear within a day or 2 so I left it. 2 weeks on and it’s still the same size and shape and really hard so I phoned the gp and they told me to go straight down. Doctor examined me and said she is concerned how big and how hard it is and said she can feel small lumps in the lymph nodes by my armpits too. So referred to breast clinic for tests and said if I don’t hear anything within 2 weeks she will chase it up. Came home then yesterday and my mind is doing overtime remembering little things I wish I had told the doctor yesterday. Over the last year I have had loads of bloods done because of extreme fatigue and they always come up high crp and iga. Crp as high as 16. And have noticed last week or so my shoulders are constantly aching regardless of what I have been doing. I’m seeing all these as bad signs and just really looking for some insight/reassure or just someone to share with. 
I am a single mum of 8 and it’s just me and then and they all have adhd add or both. They need me. If anything happens to me the youngest 5 go into care. Never dealt with anything like this before.

  • Oh mamabear8 I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. Firstly try to slow down your thoughts. It really is a rollercoaster of emotions waiting to know.
    You are being referred and will know more when you go to clinic. It’s an awful and anxious time.
    I have had hard lumps that have turned out to be cysts which they can drain. Raised glands in your armpit can be lymph nodes struggling to fight a virus. As you say you’ve been suffering chronic fatigue. That in itself (as well as being mamabear to 8 wonderful children on your own) is a huge strain on your body and mind. You are amazing! 
    you have done the right thing going to your go and getting a 2 week referral. 
    Please know that you aren’t alone, this forum is great for a chat/get support./advice. Until you know facts try to slow down your thinking.  You can deal with what you know, when you know. Sending strength x

  • Thankyou for your reply x I have adhd too so tend to over think everything anyway. Have been awake all night with my shoulders I just couldn’t get comfortable which has never happened before. They are really aching now but hopefully that’s just psychological more than physical but has me worried x
