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.

  • Hey, 

    Sorry to hear you are feeling like this. I am 26 and in a similar position to you. My breasts have always felt quite lumpy, however last week I felt a hard pea sized lump on my right breast near my armpit and panicked. I got a doctors appointment the same day, the doctor said there was a lot of dense tissue and the lump was abnormal so I have been referred to the breast clinic. Like you I am so worried and anxious. I'm so bad for googling any symptoms so I've been driving myself insane!! But I have spoken to a few women in my family who have made me feel a little better as they have been in similar situations and it's just turned out to be fatty tissue and cysts. Also these forums have made me feel a lot calmer. The wait seem such a long time so it's good to just keep your mind busy and not let your imagination run away with you! Best of luck with your appointment  Xx

    i have ready that cancer is rare at my age but my mind is constantly overthinking and I definitely Google everything f way to much! Reading through these forums has definitely helped me feel calmer! It's the waiting and the unknown that's the worst part!

    Hi Marieelise,

    I am so glad to hear that you are feeling a little calmer having read some of the posts on this forum. We always advise people waiting for an appointment to steer clear of google, as it nearly always makes us fear the worst.

    You are quite right. It's the unknown and uncertainties that really scare us. Fortunately, breast cancer is one of the most treatable cancers these days. 

    Please let us know how you get on. Here's hoping that you get good news.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
