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.

  • I'm experiencing something similar at the moment and I can relate to the worry. I went to the hospital before Christmas about a breast lump and was told it was a cyst. It didn't go away but actually got bigger and I was advised to go back to the hospital. They did a biopsy and, due to the Easter holidays, it's a 2 week wait for the results. I'm really nervous about it but I am trying to carry on as normal.

    The positive thing I'd say is that the nurses and doctors in the breast care clinic that I've met so far have been lovely and try their best to make the situation less stressful. It's worth remembering that there are lots of reason for breast lumps and the majority are quite easy to treat.

    Best of luck and I hope it all turns out well for you. X
