21 weeks pregnant and found a lump

I recently found a lump in my right breast, I went to the drs he said it was 1cm and to go back a week later, I've gone back today and he said it feels smaller but it's still there so has refereed me to the breast clinic... I have my app this Saturday.

Anyway I've came home and felt my armpit the same side and there's a swelling not sure if it's my lymph node it feels big but I'm sooo scared I can't stop crying! I have also severe health anxiety 

I'm convinced it's BC

  • Welcome to the forum Rose31 although I'm sorry for the stress and worry this is causing.

    Finding a breast lump can be very scary but it's encouraging to hear that it may have shrunk after the first time you saw your doctor but hopefully the breast clinic will be able to give you further good news when you see them on Saturday.

    So many of our members know what it's like to be in this position Rose31, so you are not alone, and I'm sure some of them will stop by when they can to offer their support and advice.

    I'm not sure if you have been referred to a breast clinic before, but if not, then I hope this information on what may happen at your appointment will help you feel more prepared.

    We're wishing you all the best for Saturday and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,
