Pain and lumps in breasts

Hi, so for about 5 weeks now ive had pain that comes and goes in both breasts. Been to see the gp who has found lumps in both breast/hardening. I have been referred to breast clinic. I got the appointment letter which is only for a telephone conversation. Has anyone else had this and did they book you in?

    Hello  Scooplyp

    In answer to your question No.

    I found a hard lump in my bresst .left it 2cweeks as had a lot if family health issues in my family and was scared to calk my gp.

    But i did and was referred to breast clinic at hospital. I had an appointmebt to attend on the 26th May, but a week.earlier  i I got a call from the hospital to say that they had a cancellation and could i go in the nxt day  at a certsin time , which if course i I did as id left it 2 weeks allready abd instresd if it veing 4 weeks scince infirst fiund the lump, because i got a cancellation appointments a week earlier it mafe ut onky 3 weeks of finding my lumo before  i was seen.

    It may be just your areas breast clinic being cautious because if covid 19 and thats why yiu will get the telephone call to disscuss your symptoms, or the call may be simply to arrange an appointment with you to attend the breast clinic fir a mamagran and to check your  breast over. Try not to worry  about it , im.sure you will be given an appointment  to be seen.x

  • Hi, yes it will be 2 weeks since I saw the gp and the phone call is on Monday. I rang the appointments line for the hospital and they said it's because of Coronavirus that they aren't seeing people! Just makes you worry, if they haven't been seeing people them the list is going to get longer and longer.

    I don't know how long the lumps have been there as I've honestly never checked my boobs before and I only went the gp because of the pains.
