1cm lump to left lower inner breast

Hi,

yesterday i found a hard 1cm lump to the lower inner left breast! I’ve been to the doctors today and have been referred to the breast clinic on the 2 week wait! He said the positive is that it’s slightly movable and smooth to touch! Although it is painless and I’ve read that if it’s a cyst it’s usually painful! 

Anyway ive obviously convinced myself of the worst case scenario... I have a 2 year old little boy so all my emotions are everywhere! Any experiences similar to mine would be welcomed as im going out of my mind here! Just preying for the best, I’m only 27 and really didn’t expect to find something like this so young!

thank you in advance!

  • Hi, glad I could help as I know how scary the wait is!

    I had both mine surgically removed under general anaesthetic but I was also offered local anaesthetic if I wanted to stay awake! My consultant was amazing but I do know some doctors leave them alone if they're not concerned and don't always offer surgery!

  • I love this post! I have an ultrasound appointment tommorow and I am petrified!! But like you i have had previously had harmless lumps before (one I still have now) .. however i did have another removed though it was a benign non-cancerous lump (i just werent comfortable with a lump in my breast) For this one, I am really hoping and praying as it feels really different.. But thank you for your post! I was so happy to come across it!

  • Hello! I'm one of the original posters from

    2019! Still here, still got lumpy boobs. It's bizarre, i have one normal boob and one that is like a sock full of marbles. I have resigned myself to this. Although i still get  anything new checked. Think i have been the clinic 5 or 6 times now. Anyway, i'm sure all will be fine. Let us know how you get on. Good luck x

  • Glad it helps someone feel a little less petrified! I hope your scan goes okay tomorrow... even though I've been through this a few times now it never gets any less daunting sitting in that waiting room so my thoughts are with you! Xxx

  • Hello! And thank you so much for your responses and kind words of encouragement! I really appreciate it! Xxx! So I went to the appointment tonight, had the ultrasound and i'm pleased to say I had a cyst that got drained there and then. However, the doctor did find something they believe to be a harmless benign in my left breast. In which I'll be having biopsy in a few weeks- will up date you! IHonestly, I am just so thankful and pleased! Thank you again and speak soon :) ! xx

  • Hi, sorry to just reply to you I didn't know how to make a new post. I've just literally last night found a soft lump in the very ride hand side of my breast. It's round and I can move it and from what I've read is a good thing. I'm a absolutely petrified. I will be contacting the doctors on Monday morning first thing. I'm 28 with two small boys who are 2 and 6. I'm trying to think positively that it's a cyst but I'm so scared! 

  • Hello I'm having the same problem as you was wondering your out come x

  • I had a biopsy which I'm not going to lie, hurt and still hurts when I'm due on. Thankfully it was something called fibroadenoma. I actually found a 2nd lump 2 years after the 1st and that was just a lump as Iv lumpy breasts. I know it's easier said than done but dnt worry x

  • Glade it wasn't cancer, I've got my appointment Saturday I pray it's not cancer. Making me feel sick just thinking about it x
