Lump on boob and ichy boob

Hi just looking for some advice please about 3 weeks ago I've found a lump in my left boob so I rang the doctors and had an over the phone appointment with the breast clinic due to covid 19 he asked loads of questions and wanted to see me in clinic I did mention to the guy that sometimes I csnt feel the lump and he said that can be a sign of something not serious but this morning I couldn't feel the lump but my boyfriend could so I don't know if the lump has been there all the time I just haven't felt it I haven't got any other symptoms of breast cancer my nipples have been slightly leaking but my daughter is only 11months old and I've heard off a few mums that it can be quite normal for them still to leak  when I was at work Thursday night my boob wouldn't stop hurting just like a werid pain and ever since last night my boob has been so ichy the nipple and around the boob has been ichy no redness tho as I've kind of not been touching it just reading your story's have made me worry so much Im only 23/ 24 in August and my daughter is only 11months old I'm freaking out so much can't stop thinking about it that's all I think about every day especially with this itchiness that I have just waiting for an appointment to come through

  • Hello Sharnu

    I'm sorry to hear about your breast lump and the problems that you've been having recently.

    I think lots of ladies here will understand how worrying it can be waiting for an appointment at breast clinic but it's important to remember that the majority of women who are seen at clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. There could be quite a few reasons for the symptoms that you are experiencing but I'm sure the Consultant will be able to give you some answers and reassurance at your appointment. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
