Hard immobile lump In breast

Can someone shed some light for me. I’m 32 years old.

4 days ago I found a small hard smooth lump in my left breast not far away from my nipple. It doesn’t move when I try to move it.

i went to see my doctor as she referred me under the two week urgency - she said I would have a ultrasound. 

I am 10 weeks pregnant with 2 other children. I’m absolutely petrified it’s cancerous... the fact it does not move is concerning. I have to wait till Monday and I’m going out of my mind with worry- I can’t leave the house and I’m just sitting around with a black cloud hanging over me. When I received the referral letter it said “suspected breast cancer” which has totally frightened me. I keep crying and thinking the worst. 

 

Does anyone know know what I can expect from a appointment- will I get answers straight away 

will I have longer to wait - I cannot worry my family with this 

  • Oh wow we’ve had such a similar experience! Did yoj tell them you’re worried the lump doesn’t move? I’m glad you got the biopsy really because at least know we will be both 100%!! 

    I get my results Thursday too! At least they aren’t making you wait too long which is great. I’ve heard of people having to wait /3 weeks in some areas! I guess we both just have to take some reassurance from what our doctors have said! 

     

    God, I Hope this is over for us soon! Thanks for updating me xx

  • The doctor that first looked was very dismissive about the lump but sent me for the ultrasound anyway. The lady that did the scan said it looked very benign but she had to take biopsy to rule anything out. But as usual I only take the negative from these things. 

    The biopsy wasn’t as bad as I had expected. She took 3 samples which again made me worry. The fact they took a biopsy at all has scared me! I am just praying for the both of us that everything is fine and we can start to enjoy our pregnancies. 

     

    Thanks for checking in with me xxx

  • That sounds very reassuring! 

    They took two samples from me. I think they just take a few to make sure they’ve got enough tissue to analyse! 

    Yes the biopsy wasn’t too bad at all! Are you sore? 

    I’m so glad they can tell you on Thursday! That’s not too long at all! 

    We can do this! Xxx

  • I’m a little sore - I darent tough yet. I kinda want to to see if anything is different xx

  • I felt mine the day after and I was expecting it to be really sore and for it to feel like chunks have been taken out of it but it honestly didn’t feel any different. I think the samples they take are so teeny that it doesn’t make the lump feel any different really. I’m the exact same as you though, I didn’t take any of the positives and just thought of the negatives! Just the way or cruel minds work! Xx

  • DId they find the lump straight away or did it take them a while to find it? Xx

  • I pointed to where it was and the doctor felt it straight away. His exact words were “that tiny little thing” and brushed it of as some fatty bit of tissue. He drew a mark so they knew where to scan me and then I went in and had my scan. She then told me I would need a biopsy because it’s a new lump but her exact words were “it’s looks very benign” after my scan I went back in to see the first doctor and he made me a follow up appointment for Thursday! 

    I am just petrified x

  • I had a similar experience with the GP who referred me. She said “could be a fatty bit of tissue” but I know it’s not because it doesn’t feel like the rest of my boob if that makes sense. Like it stands out. Mine feels like a tic-tac so pretty small but definitely feels different to the rest of my boob. They measured mine at 7mm. I have a good feeling we are both in for good news. Neither of our consultants seemed concerned by the sounds of it. The thing we have to remember is they see these things every single day and if alarm bells rang and something looked suspicious, I think we would have known about it. (I’m having a brief moment of positivity here lol, I’ll be in tears again later no doubt!) 

    Every now and then I have a moment where I forget about it for two minutes and then I get this horrible sinking feeling in my chest/stomach where I remember. Such an awful awful bloody thing! xx

  • Glad your having a brief moment of positive vibes! I haven’t had any yet. My husband was like why aren’t you listening to anything good that they’ve said. 

    Just message me on here if you need to talk lovely xxx

  • Morning lovely.  Just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world today xxx
