I've been referred to the breast clinic after I visited my GP because I had found a lump in my breast behind my nipple. I've got no other symptoms and I have no pain with the lump. I wasn't really checking my breasts and I  unintentionally found it, as it's quite deep inside and I had to really press to feel it. My other half could feel it too though and that's when I really started to panic. However I made an appointment and the doctor asked a few questions and had a feel of the lump and confirmed I would need to be referred to the breast clinic as there is a possibility it could be cancer. I was shocked to be honest, I just did not expect it as I am 22 and it doesn't run in my family! 
 

I still haven't heard from the breast clinic in regards to my appointment but I am so worried and I am struggling sleeping, due to overthinking.

Anyone else's experiences of similar situations or any information would be greatly appreciated! I haven't even had confirmation of what it is and it could be nothing but a benign cyst but I already feel so alone and unaware of any information!! I don't feel it's open enough about these things and even some doctors are so uptight about it and petrified to say the 'C' word! It makes the experience no better!
