Similar experience needed

So, I found a weird lump on my right breast on Wednesday last week went to the doc following day, she refertreme to breast clinic got a call same day!! Appointment on Thursday this week.

The lump is like a line or swollen vein, no pain seems to be attached to the skin, well IV been checking everyday to make sure it's not getting bigger, last night I noticed an indentation just under the lump, today it's got slightly bigger and my skin starting to look purple around it, I haven't banged it.

I'm trying to think only positive thoughts but it's hard, I'm a single parent to 3 young children, I'm only 27 :(

I also have 2 small lumps on each side of my neck but possibly unrelated they have been there for months.

Any advice experience very much appreciated xx

  • Hi there ...

    I know it's really scary when we feel lumps ... but keep in mind 8.5 out of 10 lumps are fine .. and it's really rare at your age , though not impossible... go back to your G P and ask for the two week refural to the breast clinic ... don't panic all lumps are looked at the same .. 

    My first 4 call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... and one time it felt like a hard pebble , which I thought must be cancer ... but it wasn't ...

    The sooner you get it looked at, the sooner sorted ... and you know l thought breast cancer was a certain end of things ... because we hear so many sad cases ... but there's lots of us on here ... and lots kicking cancers *** ... I've been on here nearly two years ... and am amazed how much treatments have improved ... so try not to do the "what ifs " face things as they come up ... though I know that's easier said then done ... fingers crossed .. be firm with your G P... it's your health .. you fight for it ...
