I am in exactly the same boat. I am waiting for my cycle to end and seeing if anything changes.

I dont want to be personal but can I ask where your lump is situated and what it feels like. 

I just want to remind you that 80% of lumps are harmless but I know that we will still worry.

I will be thinking about you and keeping everything crossed for you.

Try to keep busy and occupy your mind until your appointment. Let us know how you get on xxx

Thanks for replying. 
 

The lump is in the upper outer quadrant of my right breast, it feels firm but it's fairly deep so really hard to tell what the texture feels like. 
 

what about you? 
 

Have you been to your GP yet? 

Hey, thank you for your reply. Mine is left breast, lower outer quadrant.

No I've not seen a GP, I'm not even registered but have five days off work as of tomorrow so will be getting registered during that time.

good morning. I am sorry to hear but it’s Monday tomorrow so you’ll know better. I know wAit is the killer. 

Your not leaving anyone. Be positive and get it checked thoroughly. 

As I had the same issue 16 months ago. I had a scan and biopsy then a lArge lymph node flare up. It kept coming and going  also the lump disappeared  came back many times  was even admitted in hospital 

5 weeks ago I had an operation and they removed lump and also the englarged lymph node  two weeks ago they got results back from the biopsy again  I was told I have breast cancer 16 months later  my whole world has fallen apart  and now one more scan Incase it’s spreAded  then I begin chemo  radiotherapy and another op  

I’m saying get it thoroughly checked  ask for a ct scan as don’t make the mistake as I have done by trusting them and leaving in their hands and we make things worse for ourselves as they can miss things  

hope tomo goes well  if they say it’s nothing etc  get it checked  say you want a ct scan mri or pet scan this then checks each thing what’s going on inside our body we don’t know  and be positive  I’m still in denial and shock  this is second Christmas that was just awful

Hi Krystalk, 

Please make sure you get it checked ASAP, I know getting a doctors appointment can be quite challenging sometimes but they do prioritise if someone has symptoms of cancer which is great. 
 

ive gone from convinced I'm going to die, to convinced it's just a cyst, my head is all over the place. 
 

Thank goodness I'll find our more tomorrow, I will keep you updated even if just a cyst, as I've read so many posts on this forum where people don't update with how they got on and for people in similar positions it's vital to hear that bit.

Hi there - I'm going through a similar thing. My breast felt funny last week, heavier and firmer. 
When I felt it I can't feel a lump as such but it just feels firm and bumpy. 
I went to the GP and he said he can feel a lump and see it. 
he gave me Co Amoxiclav and referred me for an ultrasound on the 2WW, I'm a 28 year old single mum to a 3 year old. And I am bricking it. I have bad health anxiety and my heads gone wild. 
The only solace I am taking is that I am getting intermittent breast pain in both my breasts, although it is 80% more prominent in the one with the lump. 
I stopped breastfeeding after 2.9 years in April 19. 
So far the anti biotics have not made any difference to my breast but is treating a nice gum abcess that popped up over the weekend ‍♀️ 
I can relate on that I am terrified too, heads all over the shop. 
Considering going private as I can't feel this way for 2 weeks! 
 

wishing you all the luck tomorrow

So sorry to hear you're in the same boat. 
I've also noticed a bit of pain but it's because I was ovulating, it's stopped now. Also I kept feeling the lump so I don't think that helped. 
 

I have private health insurance through my work but the GP said at this point it's worth sticking with the NHS as it's fast tracked, the 2ww is a killer though isn't it! 

I'm so anxious right now it's unbelievable, I just want tomorrow out of the way.

Hello :) 

a few years ago I was on the same boat, found my first lump in my breast when I was 16, was so so terrified! Went to the breast clinic had an ultrasound, and a biopsy and came back as a fibroadenoma (a non cancerous growth)

following year had another appointment with my gp as I felt I had a second lump, another referral to the breast clinic turned out it was just the lump growing in a weird shape

year after that attended again, another referral to the breast clinic the lump had grown 2 times it's size and had to get it removed 

had the surgery in 2018 and results came back still clear.

I wanted to share my experience of a non cancerous breast lump as when I was going through the same thing as you I was so terrified about what was going to happen! 
you did the right thing by going to the GP, I found another lump this morning and am awaiting an appointment at the breast clinic again, praying it is the same thing! I hope maybe reading this post has perhaps put your mind at rest? These lumps are not always cancer 

wishing you all the best for your appointment xx 
 

Thank you for sharing your story. 
 

I had my scan today and luckily it was a benign lipoma. 
 

ive just shared my experience on Instagram in the hope that it encourages people to check and also to share their stories even when it turns out not to be any thing sinister, because I was definitely seeking comfort in the success stories over the last 2 weeks. 
 

Fingers crossed for you xx
