Inverted nipple with lump behind

Hi all

I'm tracy I'm 51 years old .my nipple has gone right in and can feel a big lump behind it .I'm currently waiting for appointment from the breast clinic should have been a 2 week wait but due to Covid have not received an appointment as yet.3 weeks later I have called them to be told it's a 6 week wait. I'm absolutely petrified as if it is something its growing and not being treated..I'm trying to be realy positive and hoping it's a cyst .but we wont no until I've had my appointment. I've come on here looking for support as I dont have anyone just me myself and I. Thanks for reading my post xx

  • Hi Tracy, I know everyone has probably said this, but keep phoning them - sometimes they'll have a cancellation.  It's easy to feel left behind when you are waiting, and it doesn't help the stress levels, especially with everything else going on. I wish you the best of luck with this.  Fingers crossed it's just a cyst or lipoma/fibroadenoma.  Good luck. xxx

  • Thank you for your reply ..I will try ringing again .I dont want to seem like a pain in the *** as I no there realy busy..but I am so scared .so the sooner the better ..I also hope it's a cyst or lipman.. thank you for your kind words x

  • It's always worth phoning in case they've had a cancellation.  It's entirely understandable that you are scared - I had a lump that turned out to be a fibroadenoma, and I was scared all through the process. It's a scary and stressful thing to be going through.  I think the people you talk to when you phone will understand that too, and they won't think you're a pain. xxx
