Appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow

Hey, I'm 21, got an appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow as the doctor noticed I have a much lumpier breast on the left and it's 3 Cup sizes bigger than the right. I did have an appointment about 5 years ago after a lump was found and obviously the mannogram was fine. Has anyone had similar? Would anything definitely show on a mannogram? 

  • Hello Mistyfox667

    I just wanted to reply to your post to wish you well for your appointment. It's not unusual to have one breast larger thatn another but it's good to hear that your GP has referred you to get this checked and hopefully the specialists will be able to give you some reassurance tomorrow. 

    Just to say that sometimes younger women don't have a mammogram because of the density of their breast tissue so don't be worried if the team use an ultrasound instead. It may be that they request further tests such as an MRI to get a clear picture if you have very dense breast tissue. All these things don't automatically mean bad news. Infact the majority of women who are seen in breast clinics are not diagnosed with cancer so try to keep that positive point in mind. 

    Do let us know how you get on. We will be thinking of you. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thankyou for your reply! It used to be one cup size difference and is now 3 so that's kind of what is making me nervous but I do think it'll be nothing x
