From not scared to really scared in a day..

Hi everyone, 

i m 30 years old now and l had breast  ultrasound and dr appointed ( routine) in July 2019. I was pregnant 3 week and l didn't know. 
Everything was fine dr told me l had really small cyst 6mm on the left breast . But nothing to be worry about. 
3 weeks later l found out l m pregnant. 
In some point during my pregnancy l noticed a small lump on my right breast ( pea size round )l said to one of the midwives but they told me not to worry about it till after a birth/ breastfeeding etc. 

i gave birth in March and l was breastfeeding him from start till 2 weeks ago. 10 months in total. 

So my husband made me call GP for that lump(it's not painful and it didn't change) Wednesday. I did called they called me in and referred me for 2 weeks fast track appointment... it's Friday now they still didn't call l m freaking out... funny thing is l was never ever worried about it but after visiting GP and googling l m struggling... 

I googled that chances of getting breast cancer while being pregnant or a year after are 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 10,000 but what if they missed it on ultrasound in 2019... 

i have history of health anxiety but l m much much better since giving birth, this is just freaking me out a lot :/ 

 l really need to calm.. l m just thinking of my son and watching him and l just want to cry all the time.. 

sorry l don't know why l m writing dont have any questions but l just had to say it somewhere... 

what do you think about my situation? :/ 

  • Hello Sihyaj and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry for the worry and anxiety this breast lump and referral are causing but I hope it helps to know that 9 our of 10 people referred this way are not diagnosed with cancer. You can find out more about urgent referrals just here.

    Many of our members will understand how you're feeling at the moment having been through this themselves and I'm sure some of them will pop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime I hope this information about what to expect at a breast clinic appointment will help you prepare for your appointment and that all goes well on the day. Fingers crossed the lump is no cause for concern.

    All the best,
