Inverted nipple and lump

Hello all,

I’m new to this site and would really appreciate some positive stories. I found a lump right above my left nipple which is pulling my nipple in making it invert slightly. It’s hard and feels uneven and everything I’ve read points to breast cancer. It doesn’t hurt but now I know it’s there I can feel it - this might be because I can’t stop touching it hoping it will go away! 

I’m 45 with no children. I’ve been through 9 rounds of IVF and lost 4 babies over the last few years. I’ve just had an operation to remove endometriosis in the hope it will make my symptoms easier to manage and help my next round of IVF. 

This is seriously going to put my dreams of being a Mummy on hold for who knows how long.

Has anyone had a similar type of lump and it end up not being cancer? I need some hope to cling on to. I’m seeing the breast clinic on Friday which I know is only a few days but to me it seems like ages! I work from home on my own which gives me too much time to worry.

Thanks everyone.

Claire
