Lump in boob

Hi there. I found a lump in my boob about 3 weeks ago. Started off about the size of a 5p but has got bigger to about a £1 I have rung my doctor numerous times who is rufusing to have a look until I have it for 6-8 weeks which means I have to wait another minimum of 3 weeks until I can find out what it is. It’s very solid and the boob has started aching as well. Is this normal? Or is there somewhere else I may be able to go as you can imagine I’m going out of my mind with worry! I’m sure ita me overthinking but would rather get it looked at ASAP. 

Thanyou in advance 

  • Hi Megan26,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can certainly understand your worries. Three weeks shouldn't make too much difference although I appreciate this doesn't help with the uncertainty and how you're feeling. You could try asking for a second opinion from a different doctor if it's causing you a lot of worry.

    If you'd like to speak to one of our nurses (they can't diagnose but it may help to talk things through), you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
