Hi Jennifer,

I too am at the breast clinic tomorrow, I found a lump just before Xmas which my GP said she was pretty certain it's a cyst but that didn't bring me any reassurance - as you say how can they be sure it's a cyst? 
 

I visited the breast clinic in 2016 after finding a lump in the other breast, that starts near my arm pit & comes to the middle of my boob so it's quite a big lump, that turned out to be thickening of the tissue. When I visited the breast clinic last time I was given my results on the same day in clinic after having an ultra sound. I think if it's a scan you have they give same day results but from what I've made out from other posts if any biopsies are taken you'd have to wait a little longer for results. 
 

I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, take care.

I found a lump when I was 18 years old (10/11 years ago) and was told it was a cyst and no further action was needed. I had a terrible experience at the breast clinic and had a very nasty doctor who basically said I was silly for reporting it to my gp because of my age. Long story. Fast forward to about a month ago the lump is still there and now my nipple is leaking fluid and starting to become inverted slightly in the middle. I saw my gp who has referred me to the breast clinic and I'm waiting for my appointment to come through. Im in the same boat as you hun but mine isn't as bad as yours. Good luck in your appointment hun. Xxxxx

Hi, 

how did you all go on? I've had a lump for about 17 years, I was told years ago by a midwife was probably a milk gland swollen so I've never worried. It's grown mow so I've mentioned it to the GP and he's referred me to the breast clinic so obviously now I'm worrying and if it is anything sinister I can't see it been treatable!? My anxiety is not helping. Sorry if I sound like I'm worrying for nothing.
