Hi all. As you can tell from the title, I am awaiting an appointment at the breast clinic on the 13th. I went to my GP with a small lump in my left breast and the gp said it feels like a cyst but that she will refer me to have it checked. Since then, I have found multiple lumps. 8 to be exact just in one breast. I gave birth to my son only 8 months ago and breastfed for 4 months. Is it possible that these lumps could all be cysts? They all feel the same and are painful when touched. Around the size of a 5 pence peice. I am so scared. I'm having to go alone to my appointment because of the pandemic and that is also frightening. My right breast feels similar in texture with 2 small lumps also (not painful). I guess I'm looking for some reassurance maybe from someone who has also had multiple small painful lumps in their breasts.
I also suffer with generalised anxiety disorder and take medication for this daily. I haven't been myself, constantly thinking the worst. Every time I look at my baby boy I just want to cry.
