Hi beth, 

I'm so sorry to hear that you are in the same situation as me!

Im 28 and i just discovered a lump too, after i had been experiencing some sudden sharp pains every now and then over the last 6 months. The pain is under my right boob between the rib cage and my bra line. It feels like the bra wire was really poking  in between my bones or something that's the only way i can describe it. 

I went to the doctor yesterday who has also made me a 2 week referral appointment to the breast clinic. So that could mean an appt before Xmas or between xmas and new year! 

And i like you know it's unlikely I have breast cancer. But there's always a chance and I'm so scared! Im not even scared for me I'm scared for my 2 daughters age 3 and 5. I'm a single parent and I just cannot get seriously ill! I'm over thinking everything I'm imagining the worst, who will look after my girls if I get ill! My mum can't look after 2 young girls and me! 

But then I'm thinking don't be ridiculous there's a very very small chance they will find anything serious!  

Our age is in our favour. And we will be fine! 

Sending lots of love and good luck wishes to you xxx

Hi jammiedodger :)

Thank you for your lovely reply. Just knowing there are others to talk to eases the anxiety. 

Its so hard not to worry, especially with little ones. Have you spoken to family? Im worried about upsetting them before there is anything to worry about.

So rubbish that this is around Christmas time too!

Love and big hugs, 

Beth 

Hi another one in the same boat. I found a lump a few weeks back it didn't go away so I went off to the docs on wednesday and have my breast clinic on the 23rd. I am bricking it. At 37 I am still fairly low risk but I don't have a family history so who knows what they might find. I keep reading these forums and swinging between it will be nothing to worst case scenarios.

Hi I know this was a while back but just wanted to check how you got on at the clinic? I'm 35 and found a smooth hard lump recently and been referred, am so worried x 

Hi, 

I am 34 and been to the doctors today and they have referred me too. I'm also really worried. 
 

I have been told that age is on my side and most lumps turn out to be nothing sinister so I keep reminding myself of that. X
 

Sorry that you're going through this too. Can't help but focus on the negative stories and I know I shouldn't. I have terrible health anxiety, have always had it. Really hope we can both come out of this with good news  x 

I am the same, I have anxiety too so I totally understand where you are coming from.  It's so hard to remain positive.

The odds are in our favour. I really hope we both have good news. Keep me updated and I will too. Here if you just want a chat too  xx
