Hi Kimberly. I am currently in the same boat as you I found a small pebble lump in my breast. My Gp has referred me to the breast clinic and waiting on the appointment. The only thing we can both do is wait and try keep ourselves busy I know it easier said then done. Been on this chat really helps and there are a lot of people here with good advise. You did the right thing going to your GP and there is something been done about it. A breast lump can be anything as far as I know it could be a cyst or a blocked duct. Don't google your symptoms it will just make it worse.  I wish you all the best. Try stay positive. X

Thank you for replying. I have tried my hardest to stay away from the internet and searching symptoms. My gp asked me if I wanted any information and I said no as I know I would dwell on it and make myself worse! 
I have a small lump that seemed to come from nowhere as I check myself regularly. I'm a light smoker...I'm nearly 35 and I'm on the implant. I know all of these things makes me a higher risk. I've gone from being totally fine to the deep end in a heart beat and back again. This waiting for the appointment is freaking me out and it's literally only been 2 days. The gp was talking emergency appt and mammograms and said there is of course a risk of cancer. I wasnt mentally prepared to hear any of this. I was hoping it would be a blocked duct, be told don't worry it will clear by itself. Unfortunately no such luck. Now I feel I'm in the deep unknown: if I had a answer either way I'm sure I would be able to manage but this limbo is messing with me. People are saying don't panic, you'll be fine, your young etc. But all I can see is darkness which seems ridiculous on one hand and justified in the other. I am worried I'm not reacting in a way that I should...or should I...this is ridiculous. I can't get a grip on my own emotions or actions. I just need to know. Patience is not a strong point. Mix that in with a generally controlling nature and here I am!! I hope I'm not the only one feeling this way... and I am sorry for the emotional dump but I just don't know where else to go. 
i hope your ok as well... it's incredibly scary and I send you positive vibes for when you are able to get to the breast clinic.  

I know it's scary. I smoke myself very light as well. I'm 27. The GPs don't have X-ray vision but it's a step of finding out exactly what it is. I've been waiting over a week to hear back when I'll have an appointment. Everyone reacts differently to this sort of information. I've been just thinking that something is going to be done and thinking about it won't make it go away. Keep positive this will have a better physical feeling on your body. Worrying will just cause more negative effect. Please don't apologise. There are. A lot of woman here who are nervous about this sort of thing. It's only natural to be scared. 
im taping okay so far so good. I just want this appointment done with so I know what I'm up against. It's the waiting that makes us ore stressed. 
just try relax do some breathing exercises try keep busy. I'm always here if you need to talk.
