Hello, 

I've been to the Breast clinic today as I was referred by my GP following finding a lump in my right breast. So i know how you're feeling. 

From looking at this site myself it can be anything- so many different conditions. It's easier said than done but try not to worry.

At the breast clinic today I was examined by a consultant, then sent for an ultrasound where they then followed up with a biopsy. I didnt have a mammogram because I'm under 40. But the examination, mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy all form the assessments to find out the cause. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have based on my experience today.

After the ultrasound the consultant has said she thinks it's a cluster of fibroadenoma's but wanted the biopsy to be sure. So I'll now have a 2 week wait for the results.

Also, I've not told anybody. Don't want to worry anyone at this stage. Not sure thats the right thing to do to be honest but I just don't want to deal with others getting emotional when I'm trying to hold myself together.

Wish you all the best. I've found this forum very helpful xx

Hi Syl hope you're having a good evening

Thanks for your reply, what was the biopsy like? Did you have anyone to accompany you to your appointment? 

I'm hoping for the best for us both results wise but you can't help worrying can you. Try to stay positive I'm still a bit in shock about having to go to the breast clinic got a million and one fears going round my head

Thanks

Hello, sorry to hear you are going through this. 
 

I have also been referred to the breast clinic for a pea size lump under my nipple, not painful, found almost 3 weeks ago and terrified. Although I say not painful these last 2 days I have had lots of pain come and go in both breasts! I always do a week or so before my period, which is why I am holding out until next week, but this is a different type of pain! 
 

I hope you get your appointment soon so that you can be checked out and hopefully ease your mind. 
 

good luck xx

Hi Mumma123,

My lump feels bigger than pea sized and the area surrounding it is really tender including under my armpit and down side of breast

I also get swollen and painful breasts during my period, like most women I guess but like you said it's a different kind of pain and has been present before my period. 

Good luck 

K xx

Hope you will be OK too and get sorted soon
