Worried immensely - found a smooth, round lump in my breast and I've now been referred on the 2 week pathway

Hi all, 37f so recently whilst checking my breast as I have a family history of breast cancer i came across a lump which is smooth round and movable it situated on the right breast underneath the aerola. I’ve been seen by gp and she had referred me on 2 week pathway I know no one can diagnose me but some positivity or if anyone can relate would be great whilst I wait agonisingly for my appointment. Thanks 

  • Smooth, round and moveable are all good signs that it's more likely to be something other than cancer.

    GP's almost always refer to breast clinic just to be sure.

    Hopefully, it will be a one stop clinic where you are seen and have an ultrasound on the same day, in my area they won't do a mammogram in under 40 year olds. 

    Try not to poke n prod, I know it's so difficult to leave it alone but it will play tricks with your mind.

    I wish you well x
