Hi, Just thought I would update on my referral appointment I had today. It was a collection of fluid filled cysts, which to me felt hard, but to the consultant and the doctor who did my ultrasound felt quite soft. They obviously deal with these breast issues day in and day out and know the differences. To me though it was a new change so it did have me in a panic.

I have been on the Mirena coil since August 2019 and she said the change in hormones had probably caused this. I may be prone to them in the future so I need to keep an eye out and get any new ones checked.

The nurse who I had initially seen at the GP, and who had said it felt 5cms wide, had probably just felt swollen breast tissue as it was just before my period when I felt the lump. The cysts were actually fingertip size.
The hospital staff were very kind and kept me informed of what was happening at each stage. Very lovely people. There was also a mix of age ranges in the waiting room, not just older women. 
I wish all the luck to you ladies who have recently been diagnosed, and hope your treatment is kind to you. X

Phew! We love these sort of updates! Good news indeed love....xx
