Hello,

I went to the doctor today after finding an initial lump in my breast a week ago. I have been referred to the breat clinic and advised I will get an appointment within the next 2 weeks, so just awaiting my letter and date.

I've been quite upset today, just so worried and I can't feel calm. I feel like that sense has been removed from me.

I had an initial pea sized lump last week that I originally called the doctor about, but over the weekend felt the lump next to it which is not round and is much bigger. I keep wandering if that wasn't there before or did I just not feel it?? The lumps are sore after I touch them for quite some hours afterwards. I'm worrying a lot that the outcome is going to be bad because the lump isn't round, which I've read is more typically cancer. The pain is also seemingly confusing to understand. I know you shouldn't google, and self-diagnose, I guess I have been just looking for online reassurance and not found any. Has anyone experienced a lump before that is not typically 'round' that's turned out to be nothing serious?

I can't seem to look at my little boy without feeling like I'm going to have to leave him soon. It's such a horrible experience, this wait......
