2cm lump found on breast

Hi, last night I found a smooth, rounded, mobile lump in my right breast - I was pretty shocked to find it as I check regularly and haven't felt it there before so surprised I found something so big (approx 2cm)

I booked to see my GP first thing this morning and she said it felt like a cyst but has sent an urgent referral to the breast clinic for further test. I am an absolute mess, can't stop crying and thinking the worst. 
Dont really know what I want from this group chat, just some support I guess and to talk to people who are going through a similar experience. 

  • Thank you Ali, your words are so reassuring.

    I'm trying my best to think positively. 

    Thank you and I will let you know how everything goes tomorrow. X

     

  • Hi @Lisa-N I hope all goes well with you today when you are getting your test done. Thinking about you. I was very anxious but the doctors and nurses were amazing.  I was at the breast clinic on 26th of November. They are sure my solid lump is a benign fibroadenoma. I had mammogram, ultrasound and fine needle aspiration done. I am waiting for a core needle biopsy appointment to come through. They want to double check cause of my age 47. I hope you get good results the waiting and not knowing is the worse bit. 

  • Hi :) 

    Thank you so much. I'm off work today so frantically cleaning the house to take my mind off the appointment later today and it's working a little. 

    All sounds reassuring about your results doesn't it :) but I assume waiting for all results to come through is a bit of a nightmare for you. On a happy note though, all the tests you've had so far is good news so that's great!! 

    Thanks again for your kind message. X 

     

  • Yes it is reassuring that all the tests have been good results so far. Once the next biopsy is done and results are in I will be glad it's all over and done with. Keeping busy helps. Take care all the best Lesley 

  • Hi, 

    I had the ultrasound and it's confirmed I have lots of small cysts and a large one (the lump I found). I'm so relieved and extremely grateful for all the reassurance and support I have had from this group!! 

    Its so easy to think the worse. 

    I wish you all the best Lesley and good luck with the final results. 

    Please let me know how you get on. 

    Take care

  • Oh Lisa I am so glad for you, you must be relieved. I am so happy it's good news will keep you updated when I get final results thanks for the support. Lesley 

  • Thanks Lesley. 

    Yes please do keep me updated. 

    You take care of yourself.

  • Hi, I have a very similar situation. 

    Found a large painful lump in my breast on Monday night and go thought was a large abscess and sent me straight to hospital.

    specialist thought was a cyst but ultrasound has confirmed it’s neither. I had a very painful biopsy as they couldn’t anaesthetise deep enough and have to wait until Tuesday for the results. 

    Im so scared as if it is cancer it is such a huge lump, nothing like the pea sized that you read about. 

    I have researched and found about Fibroadenoma but that wasn’t even suggested st the hospital. 

    I am 44 years old. 

    Did you get any results yet? 

  • Hi Lisa, I didn't log back on to this u til

    now, but just wanted to say how happy I am that you got a positive result. 
     

    I do t know about you but I still feel like I'm recovering from it all. The sheer panic and anxiety of the whole thing has really hard to deal with, even now.

  • Hi Ali, 

     

    Thank you  

    Yes I definitely agree with you about the stress and worry of it all! It's completely changed my outlook on life (although I do always count my blessings) because now I think so much more deeply about how precious life is and how we mustn't take anything for granted. 

    I do keep having this awful thought every now and then that the specialist who completed my ultrasound may have misdiagnosed me! Daft I know but I came accoss a story about a person being misdiagnosed and I really wish I hadn't read it  

     

    That aside though, I feel incredibly lucky and so fortunate that all was clear. 

     

    It breaks my my heart to hear not so good news from others. 

     

    The big C is evil! 

     

    You take care and enjoy every minute of your life I know I will. Xx
