Recent breast lump found - trying to stay positive and not over think anything. Has anyone else been through this?

Hello everyone 

I have recently found a lump on my left breast underneath and close to The Base of the breast (hope that makes sense). I managed to see my GP who have referred me to my local hospital for an examination and possible mammogram/ultrasound etc. 

I only noticed it by chance as I rolled over in bed and moved my hand to my chest and thought what is that!  I’m nearly 42 and never felt anything like this before. My date for the hospital 16th March. 

I don’t have any pain but maybe since Xmas iv not been to well. Iv had constant issues with my breathing, wheezing, palpitations, nausea and heart burn. It’s so hard to get a dr appointment that I ended up going to urgent treatment, they gave me a course of steroids, I was on for 2 days and it just come back. I’m not sure if it can be connected but just wondering if anyone has had anything similar.

im trying to stay positive and not over think anything till I know but just interested to hear other people’s stories.

thank you

love n hugs x 

  • Welcome to the forum Lil848, although I'm sorry to hear about the lump you've found in your breast.

    It's always a worry when you come across something unexpectedly, but I'm glad you went to your GP and you now have an appointment to get this looked at more thoroughly on the 16th March.

    Waiting for appointments is always tough, especially when our minds start to get the better of us, but it's good to hear you're staying positive and I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help as well.

    So many of our members know what it's like to go through this Lil848, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until you receive some support and advice.

    If you would 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 concerns and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Lil848 and wishing you all the best with your breast clinic appointment in 3 weeks time.

    Kind regards,
