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

  • Thank you for the reply. I rang them today I have an appointment on the 9th of april so 10 days time I've also said I will take any cancellation that becomes available b4 then..

    I'm happy yours wasn't cancer

    I'm gonna try make myself busy until the appointment day else I'm gonna drive myself crazy 

    Again thank you so much for your reply
