Hi ya,

Such a worrying time isn't it. I think you should still attend and get it checked out just incase but sounds like you'll be OK, sometimes lumps can be hormonal related.

I'm 35, have a lump in my right breast and I attended my breast clinic appointment last Wednesday alone. The staff there were so lovely. I havent even told anybody about my lump as dont want anyone worrying and I ended up needing to have a biopsy whilst there. The staff are so lovely and reassuring so you will be ok. Its nice that they have said your husband can go with you. All the best for your appointment on Thursday xx

Thank you. That's something else I'm dreading is if I need to have a biopsy . I just want the whole thing to be over so I can start 'enjoying' our house move but this is always at the forefront of my mind. xx

The biopsy really wasn't as bad as I imagined. They use a local anaesthetic first to numb the area and honestly I didnt feel a thing. It's the waiting after for results that's horrible. But that said, depending on the ultrasound they may be able to identify what it is and not need to do the biopsy. 

I know it's not what you need before moving house. Hopefully your appointment Thursday will give you an indication of what the cause could be xx

Did you not have a mammogram? I've been led to believe that women under 40 don't have them as they're not accurate enough?? Have they given you any idea as to what it could be for you? I think you're really brave having not told anyone, keeping all those emotions to yourself 

I had knee surgery in December and had to be in there on my own for the whole process due to stupid Covid, and my anxiety just went through the roof, which is why I've asked to bring my husband as I think this is more understandable.

I hope you get your results soon xx

No I didn't have a mammogram, I'm 35 and they did say because the breasts are more dense when under 40. She said on the odd occasion they do in the under 40's. But I didn't need one. Yes they believe its a cluster of fibroadenoma's but did the biopsy to be sure. I was told in the ultra sound that it doesn't look typical of anything. So a part of me is worried it could be a rare cancer. But the positive part of me is hanging on hoping it is just fibroadenoma clustered. 

Oh thank you, I dont know if I'm brave or a chicken! My issue is I'm the strong one everyone turns too, so if I tell everyone i'll then be dealing with their emotions. And I can't do that. If I get my results and it is some type of cancer then I'll have to tell my family. Praying its not though.

Oh that must have been horrible, oh yes 100% taking your husband is much better for you. 

Thank you. I was told 2 weeks and it's not even a week yet (I went last Wednesday). I'm just keeping busy now and trying not to worry xx

Hello, 

well I went to my appointment yesterday and just broke down in tears and ended up with a full on panic attack. I have to say the staff were absolutely lovely and completely understood how I felt. 
I consider myself very lucky as the consultant couldn't find anything sinister (however, from going yesterday, we discovered that I've got 2 cracked ribs directly under my breasts- don't ask how that happened but at least I know what my had solid burning under there!!). The consultant has diagnosed mastalgia with my breasts and has advised it may take 6-8 months for pain to go, but then will most definitely come back again, and then go, up until I start the menopause (which she thinks I may start early, in 10 years or so). I can't tell you how relieved me and my husband were and he's probably never hugged me so tight!

I so hope you get the positive results from your biopsy xx

Hello, 

Oh bless you it's so overwhelming isn't it. So pleased to hear that it's nothing sinister, although sorry to hear you'll have it come and go. Atleast you know what it is now and hopefully find something to help manage the pain. 

You can focus on your new house now. All the best for your future.

I'm still waiting on my results, not got an appointment yet and next Wednesday is 2 weeks so if I havent heard by then I'll call them. No news is good news though. 

All the best xx
