Breast lump at 33

Hi all

 

I guess I'm just looking for a hand hold here. A few days ago I found a small, hard, round lump in my breast. I have an almost 16 month old son and about 3 weeks ago I stopped breastfeeding him so I wondered if that has had an effect but it's not a blocked duct as I've dealt with a few of them in the past. Naturally my mind is going into overdrive and panicking about discovering a lump. 
I have private health insurance through work so I've managed to book a video GP consultation in a few days but she obviously won't be able to do much other than refer me (hopefully). 
I feel as though I can't concentrate on anything else and just want an answer either way. We're in the process of moving house and I can't even focus on thinking about our future in the house as I feel in limbo

  • Hi Laura and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the lump you've found but I'm glad you've managed to get an appointment with your GP to discuss this.

    Many of our members have been through this process over the last few months so I'm sure some of them will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to find out how to get the most out of your appointment, just click here.

    I hope this helps and you're able to get some answers soon.

    All the best,
