Breast clinic

I went to the breast clinic today, the doctor and consultant both felt a pea sized lump in my breast. They said I have fat necrosis after an ultrasound but to return in 6 weeks. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar and what the outcome was?

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some concerns about your breast health. It's good to know that, following an appointment at the breast clinic earlier this week, there was no immediate cause for concern and that the specialists diagnosed the lump as fat necrosis. 

    There is some information about fat necrosis on the Breast Cancer Now website, which hopefully will give you some reassurance. If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that your follow-up appointment in a few weeks gives you further reassurance. 

    Best wishes,
