Breast lump .... scared

Hi

im lying in bed not able to sleep. I found a huge breast lump in my right breast yesterday morning. I hadn’t checked my breasts for ages. I lay back and I could suddenly feel it. When I looked in the mirror today there is a red mark on my skin where it is. I’ve had a couple of cysts before but this is different. I’m waiting for my docs to open at 8 am and the wait is just too much.  I feel sick. I don’t know what reply I expect to this. But I feel all alone as my hubby has gone to bed and my daughter is still sleeping. 

  • Hi Connie 

    I found a lump on friday night so been worrying about it all weekend , but up early today to stand on the doctors door step .

    just got back from my appointment and ive been sent for an urgent referral to my local hospital on the 12th September .....

    Im so scared,my husband is away working and i cant tell my daughter as it would scare her ,  both my grandparents had breat cancer so this is my worst nightmare. 

    let me no how your appiontment goes

    fingers crossed for you xx

     

  • It’s a nightmare finding something when the docs are closed. I managed to get an appointment today. The doc fully examined me. She reckons I could have a cyst and had given me antibiotics. I’ve got to go back next Monday morning and see how I get on meanwhile. Let’s hope there’s positive outcomes for both of us. I’m still deeply worried 

  • Hi Connie the same thing has happened to me I felt a big hard lump in my left breast on the bank holiday managed to get a doctors appointment on the Tuesday last week the doctor didn’t even examine me but did a referral for the breast clinic I have an appointment for Thursday 5th September I’ve had cysts in this breast before had them drained four years ago but this lump feels different it’s teal big I’m worried sick as I have not long lost my dad to cancer
