Hey everyone. Just wondering about your thoughts on this, I’ve had lumps in my breasts for years as I’ve been absolutely too terrified to go to the docs! (Don’t judge) and I don’t know what made me but recently I actually plucked up the courage and went.

I told my GP about the lumps and he examined my boobs, under my arms, armpits etc and said he could feel up to 3 lumps in both boobs (2 in one, one in the other) but he didn’t think it was cancer as the lumps were ‘moveable’. He then told me that he was going to put me and urgent referral through for the breast clinic and then stated again to not worry as he doesn’t think it is cancer, at this point I’m completely freaking out and stressing though!

i waited a few days and my letter came through for my appointment, which was actually yesterday. So off I went, the letter states that it can take up to 3 hours because of various tests/ scans etc which need to be done. I’m sat waiting, then finally get called in, lie down and start getting examined by the doc. This took all of 3 minutes, he then says that he can’t feel any lumps etc and asked me to show him where they were. I did, and he was still adamant that he couldn’t feel any lumps. 

He didn’t examine me at all like my GP did, they got me to put my arms above my head, checked all under my arm/armpit, lying down/ sitting up etc and thoroughly checked, where as this doc at the Breast clinic I feel didn’t, I literally just lay there with my arms down by my sides and he examined me for all of 2 minutes and said I was fine and that it was normal because I’m a young, slim, woman. I tried to tell him that there were definitely lumps there but he just kept saying no you are fine, I examine over 1000 woman a year you are normal, but if you do have any concerns then please come back. 

Is it weird that I didn’t even get a mammogram or scan or anything? I’m currently freaking out as it doesn’t feel right. The lumps are DEFINITELY there but he didn’t explain anything or what they could have been! I’m currently driving myself crazy overthinking this as I feel I have been fobbed off! :( 

Has anyone else had a similar experience???
