I am 26, nearly 27. I thought that until I went to the doctors last week, where after pushing on my painful spot on the left hand side he said he felt a small pea sized lump-which left me bawling completely. The pain hasn’t fully subsided-but it’s  a hell of a lot less than it was last week. 

Hopefully we have bith just bruised ourselves selves from all the prodding! I’ve banned myself from touching my breasts-tbh I can’t even look at them without wanting to cry!

i had to have an ultrasound when i was around your age for a hardening which was nothing, i think with me i am more worried as my sister and mam both had breast cancer, sister is ok but mam died 25 years ago.  i dont carry the hereditary gene though so hoping its down to some other reason.....!

Thankyou, i have a husband and a 6 year old that keeps me busy...just want it over and done with now..

Hi ladies, I’m in the same position  ​​​​​​. I have had pain to the side of my right breast for few months but thought it was due to period tenderness or bra wire digging in. I couldn’t feel any lumps or see anything. I decided to go to see gp on Monday and she’s found a pea sized lump! Due to my mum having breast cancer twice the doctor referred me straight away. My appointment is next Tuesday.

Like yourselves, I keep bursting into tears and thinking the worst. I wish I could just know today what it is... I feel in limbo

Hi it’s not a nice feeling waiting but Tuesday will soon be here and hopefully our minds will be at rest?!

Hello,

I too have very similar symptoms & my appointment isnt until 2nd October.

My left breast is achey all the time & i get occasional shooting pains.  My armpit is quite tender too & i have a weird backache that wont go that ive had for over a month now.

Hope you ladies get on ok - please come back & let us know how you get on :) x

Hi rose,

ladies I am beyond frightened as now have swollen armpit and can feel a lump, am so sore terrified to check my boob again in case there is now a lump there

The waiting is the worst!!!!!

Let us know how you get on after your appointment & hopefully they'll put all of our minds at rest x
