Lumps in breast and lymph nodes swollen.

Hi all,

 

I am hoping to get some help or at least to ease my mind as it's going 1000miles an hour......

I while ago I noticed a change in my right breast. I thought it could of been a lump but I wasn't sure cause it wasn't that obvious (everything I had ever been told or seen was that it was obvious) anyway one day my partner mentioned to my about some discolouration to my left breast. They then asked me if I check as they thought they had felt something. I said that I do and actually I had kind of felt something in my right breast. As I was talking I felt my right breast and could really feel 2 lumps. One was large and on the outside and the other was smaller closer to the middle but both to the right. The smaller one is like a broken pebble. They do not hurt at all. When I mentioned this my partner got very concerned and asked me to book a doctor's appointment. That Wednesday I went to the doctor. He told me that I definitely have 2 lumps and that my lymph nodes are up. He couldn't feel a lump in my left breast but was concerned about the discolouration. I have also lost a lot of weight in the last 4 month (3st 4lbs) however, I have been trying. He seemed worried about that too. 

I have my appointment Thursday (28th) and I'm actually really scared. I know a lot of the time it's nothing. But, I am worried that my nymph nodes are up and it's an indication to cancer and that it's spread. 

 

I am never ever ill and recently I have got everything going around work. My partner used to joke about me being a carrier but never actually getting ill. But recently that's not the case .

 

I am so worried. 

  • Hi Lopori and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I noticed no-one had replied yet so I just wanted to check you're o.k and see how you go on at your breast clinic apopintment.

    I think many of our members can agree that waiting for the appointment is rather tough but once there, most have a good experience and have their minds put at ease.

    I hope this was the case for you and that the results show these lumps are benign.

    All the best,

  • hi I too had a swoosh lymph node but was clear by the ultra sound machine  but still got some lymph nodes removed I also had invasive tumour removed just over a inch and a bit but I still have breast tissue that is cancerous another operation on tuesday I’m hoping my surgeon can get it all if not he said I might need a third operation I know I’m in good hands he said it’s still better than losing your breast I had aggressive tumour in right breast that was more straightforward tumour removed chemo radiotherapy 9 years ago I get mammogram every year but found tiny lump in left breast biopsy etc grew to just over an inch I hope your swollen lymph node is nothing I was told by mammogram you have a swollen lymph node but you can get that with lifting working etc I wish you all the best Lorraine x

  • my lumps feel exactly the same large to the outside but it was the little pea sized hard lump that I had felt I’m so scared to now after being told 2 lumps I’m waiting for hospital letter... 

    ive been self diagnosing too and read most Brest cancer is in the upper part Breast as the pea lump I felt was just below nipple (just slightly off centre lieing down) I told myself just hormones good 6months later still there but have now been told I have a large lump to the side of it I suppose I did feel it but choose to ignore hospital doctor said gonna fast track me to be seen within 2wks that was last thurs I’m so scared that my ignorance could of made worse
