Hi there

I am in the same position as you except mine is on my right breast. I went to the doctors on MOnday but my appointment at the hospital isn't until next Wednesday. I am beside myself with worry. Mine is about the size of a pea. the doctor said its mobile but gristly. Now I seem to be getting sharp needle pains under my arms and shooting pains down my side. Every pain I get I have write myself off as dead in a year! I am a single mum of two teenage boys and they can't be without me.

I am wondering if I would be better seeing if I can get a private ultraasound appointment as waiting another week might tip me over the edge!

Morning 

 know how you feel mine is tomorow and mine doesn't move which is worse. It's starting to feel sore now. I'm so so worried that I'm going to be told it's terminal. 
 

you can always try? Did your doctor put it as urgent? Mine is bigger than a pea. Yours sounds a lot more promising! Everywhere I looked said mobile is usually a breast cyst! Keep my updated with you! 

Mine is sore too but that's probably because I have spent the last few days pressing it! 

Hopefully to put your mind at rest a bit, I had a lump about 10 years ago (I was 36) that the doctor said wasn't moving. I had a mammogram and a scan and thankfully it was a cyst which they drained there and then. That one was round and smooth - I think the doctor saying this is grisly has put my mind into overdrive.

The breast clinics here are only on a Wednesday so its a waiting game. Good luck for tomorrow - let me know how you get on :-)

Mine isn't smooth at all it's really grisly and an odd shape and seems to have like seperated into 2 which is why I'm so worried. I've never felt so sick in my life with worry. Thanks so much! I will do and you to!

Good luck today Charlotte

Hello lovely!

As a result of my journey I've been on since August last year, instead of sitting at home not doing a lot whilst being isolated due to this coronvirus, I'm actively seeking those on here in exactly your position in order to try to help them. Your post stood out to me for some reason.

I probably found my lump earlier than August upon reflection. However, due to issues with my work with my managers ways of going about things, I didn't go to the doctors. When I finally did and was referred for scans and biopsy, the doctor pretty much told me I had cancer there and then. What I want to say to you is what my doctor said to me... whatever it is, they can deal with it. Trust them. 

If it does turn out to be cancer, the best advice that I can give you is to get knowledgeable and don't fight your emotions or feel guilty about any behaviour that you may unexpectingly show to others. DON'T read unreliable sources or listen to anyone's stories about their experience with cancer. Your experience will be individual to YOU.

With regards to cancer treatment, yes it's ***! However, it's just something you must take in your stride. The whole chemo and hair loss thing, is *** too but by the time someone gets there, you end up not feeling enough to care about it. Going through chemo I found was the worst for me mentally and emotionally I believe because the drugs they pump into causes anxiety. Looking back, I wish I had just accepted that. Instead I fought against it thinking that I should behave more appropriately but you simply don't have the ability to control this. Asides the chemo, the surgery and radiotherapy felt like nothing but relief. The chemo is the battle, the rest of it is prevention.

I hope that it turns out to be a cyst for you, I really do. If not, I'm here for you.

This has literally brought me to tears. I am just out for a walk before I have to leave for the hospital and I can't stop crying. 
 

Something is telling me that is cancer. Can I ask did you have symptoms other than the lump? Any other breast irregularity? how are you now? all I can think about is I'm going to die. 
 

I cannot thank you enough for reaching out to me this is by far the worst day I've ever had in my life. Will they tell me today then? Thank you is all I can say for sharing your journey with me 

Can I ask are you a similar age to me to? 

Hello

I am 36. I did have other symptoms going on because my breast cancer is hormone related. I'm still having infusions until Nov every 3 weeks. Have got one tomorrow in fact. My other symptoms were hot flushes, fatigue, breathlessness and yes the affected breast was slightly enlarged in comparison to the other one. 

Please feel free to contact me personally if it turns out to be the news you don't want. I can then give you my mobile number and I am more than happy to talk to you. x
