Hi Zaraaa_, I have had a similar thing. I went to the doctors yesterday as I had a small spot/bite lump. Doctor checked and said its fine, its just a cyst. When checking over the rest of my breast they found a lump and have put a referral through. Now just waiting is awful! Hope all is okay with you and you don't have to wait too long x

Hey [@pisces25]‍ 

It's so scary, isn't it? Is your lump hard? Xx

Hey [@pisces25]‍ 

It's so scary, isn't it? Is your lump hard? Xx

Yes it is, completely painless so never ever noticed it. It wasn't until I got home after and compared to the other side I felt it. Its quite large and an odd shape so I couldnt really explain. I didn't feel too bad after, but then started reading on google (of course panic mode) that im 22 and he didnt say keep an eye on it or come back or it will be fine, just straight refereal made. Just glad I did go for the other cyst otherwise wouldnt have found it! What about yours?xx

I'm in the same boat. Found a lump in my left. Sort of deep down by my armpit. Very hard and doesn't seem to move. Ended up on google and scared myself to death. Can't stop crying 

I've heard the nsh waiting list is anything from 10 weeks to 6 months due to covid. I don't know if this the same for everything or just my local 

[@pisces25]‍ I don't have a lump - well not one that I can feel anyway! Just slight indentation under my right nipple which is noticeable when my arm is raised. 
He did the right thing to refer you, even if it isn't anything sinister at least you'll have peace of mind with the tests etc. 
I'm 25, no children and I'm just convincing myself that it's bad news! X

Hey [@Haymil]‍,

Have you been referred? 10 weeks to 6 months sounds like such a long time. I know the majority of the urgent referrals are seen within the two-week mark. X

Ah okay! Like you say its best to get the referral and have everything checked for peace of mind! Im also convincing myself also, its horrible. I hope everything is all okay with you, fingers crossed. Not a good time xxx

[@pisces25]‍ I hope everything will be fine with you too! Please keep me updated when your referral comes through. Be nice to talk to someone during this time who is at the same stage as me! Xx

Im nearly 25, have been referred today! Was hoping I would go to the doctors and they say it's nothing to worry about but obviously not! I do have a lump just crossing everything it's not something bad but I'm the same convincing myself it's the worst! Keep us updated x

Hey [@cccx]‍,

Sorry to hear that! Do you check your boobs regularly to find the lump? 

Hopefully this time in 2-3 weeks, we've both been seen and given the all clear! Xx

Sorry had to make a new account must have typed in the wrong email and forgot the password  lol!

So I didn't properly check, so by chance I noticed it about 2 months ago, at first convinced myself it's always been there but it played on my mind too much! 
 

yeah fingers crossed this is all a distant memory in a few weeks time with nothing to worry about, but thinking things may be a bit slower than usual as it's breast cancer awareness month they may be getting in higher levels than usual xx

I was referred last Tuesday. Just a waiting game now. I am scared to death. I'm 33 and have two young boys. I don't know what to do
