Hello,
One week ago I had a quick sharp pain go into my nipple(the pierced one). It's not the first time that had happened but it did seem stronger. I just put it down to the fact it's my pierced nipple. (Pierced in august last year). Anyway, I put my hand up to it and pushed it, that's when I felt a very small pea size hardish lump deep down behind the areola. This day was the last day of my period, so I didn't think much of it and thought maybe that's why. Kept an eye on it over the week, and asked my partner too aswell, both is us agree it has risen to the surface of the areola, right next to the ball of the nipple bar, still feels pea sized, doesn't hurt, think it's smooth, unsure if it moves but I'm pretty sure it feels hard. I called the doctors yesterday to book an appointment and have a phone appointment next Friday, but was told by the receptionist if any changes within the week to call up sooner. I wasn't feeling overly worried by it to start with but I done a little Googling and have made myself worry about breast cancer! I'm 30 with 3 children under the age of 8, I'm due to get married in September and I'm worried that something sinister is coming my way!! Don't think I could cope. Just wondered if anybody had anything similar and it was totally normal or not. Thankyou to anyone that reads this.
