Hi everyone - I am new here.

I have an appointment at the breast clinic on the 26th August after feeling soreness, tenderness and an ache in my left breast and finding a lump.

I am really scared although I am trying my best to think positvely and not worry too much but it's difficult.

I have noticed the pain has sibsided slightly after my visit to the GP and I came on my period yesterday so I am starting to wonder if it's hormonal - however, I know I won't know for sure until my appointment.

I guess I just wanted to hear other stories of sore lumps and what the outcome was - I have only told one person about this, I don't want to worry anyone else unnecessarily. 

I am 33 years old and this is the first time I have found a breast lump.
