Hard bone like lump 2 inch below collar bone

Hi all, im so worried I have a hard bone like lump near to my sternum and below my collar bone

My dr has reffered me to breast clinic for sunday

Im just wondering could it actually be a bone as apposed to anything sinister?

 

I am 34 years old. Have implants and also had a fibradenoma in opposite breast removed previously 

  • Hello Audrey124, 

    I am sorry to hear you are so worried about this lump but it's good that the doctor is being thorough and has referred you to see someone at the breast clinic. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
