Adding on… from the pea sized lump 1 year ago to it now being around 2cm I am scared whatever it may be has obviously grown and was potentially missed the first time. But I am over thinking like mad 

A very warm welcome to the forum lottie123xo although I'm sorry to hear that you've been referred to the breast clinic after your doctor found a 2cm lump in your breast.

I know how scary this must be, especially since the lump has become more painful and grown slightly since you first became aware it, but try not to panic or think the worst if you can. Much easier said than done I know, but there is a strong possibility that the lump could be benign and hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will be along soon to share their outcomes with you.

If you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to address your queries and concerns.

In the meantime, we're sending you all our support lottie123xo and wishing you all the best with your breast clinic appointment. We'll have our fingers crossed for good news.

Kind regards,
