Hi. A week ago I found a lump in my right breast about the size of a grape just to the right of the nipple area.  I saw my GP that day and she said to wait until I had a period to see if it goes away,  it's a week now and the lump is still there and I've still not had a period, my GP has called to say continue to wait for a period until she can refer me.

I am 50 this year so my periods are a little unreliable.  Is it usual to have to wait for my cycle before being referred?

My GP said that this is the usual procedure for over 30 year olds

can anyone reasssure me if this is the case

Thanks Amy
