Hi all,

I am 26 years old and 22 weeks pregnant with my second baby. About 2 weeks ago I was in the shower and saw a small round lump in my breast just above my nipple. I immediately panicked and booked a Drs appointment soon after. In the days leading up to my appointment with the gp I checked it so many times every day and night. Sometimes I could see and feel it and sometimes I couldn’t. Its painless, smooth and round, I think moveable but not sure if loose skin on my boobs is making it feel this way. Anyway, GP said she couldn’t feel anything sinister (lump was in a ‘not really there’ phase at this appointment even though I had seen it earlier that morning) but still referred me to the breast clinic where I was seen by a breast surgeon who also said he couldn’t feel anything (felt he didn’t take me seriously as he made a comment about my young age). He referred me for an ultrasound which I had today and she said she couldn’t see a lump but that the images would be reviewed and the breast clinic would be in touch “depending on their level of concern”. I’m just worried that they’ve missed something as I’m young and they just think “oh its unlikely” or that the ultrasound wouldn’t have picked it up as I have read they’re not as reliable as a mammogram. Also, I’m not going mad, I have definitely felt and seen the lump everyday for the last 2 weeks, not every time I have checked but everyday for sure, I just feel unlucky thats its not been palpable at any of my appointments and no one has been able to tell me what on earth is going on. Just looking for some personable reassurance as just feel like O’ve been treated as a case number rather than an actual (anxious) human.
