27 and lumps found, so scared!

Hi everyone,

 

last Sunday I found a hard lump in my right breast just under my nipple. I rang the doctor first thing on Monday morning where she found some smaller lumps in my left breast. She's sent a referral off for a scan but I am so so scared! I feel like my mind can't switch off and that I've been waiting a lifetime. I know it's just a week and it can take a little while but I'm so nervous  

 

has anyone experienced this? I'm so so scared.

    Hi Marieelise,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms and how worried they are making you feel. It is perfectly normal to feel scared - we all do. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many young people have naturally lumpy breasts or benign cysts. The only way to be certain whether or not this is something untoward is to have it tested at the breast clinic, so you are doing the right thing.

    It might help you to know that only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
    Jolamine xx
