Breast lump

Hi I'm new here,

I found a lump in my breast towards my sternum around 2 months ago. I've gone to my GP and they've referred me to the breast clinic on the 5th May. 
the last few weeks my breasts have been itching and the lump is now swelling towards my nipple. I can feel a drawing aching feeling occasionally and when feeling for the lumps which are deep they feel bruised. 
today I have noticed my glands are up under my are and another  fatty feeling lump under my collar bone which is about 1/12 inch in diameter. 
should I go back to my GP on Monday or wait for my appointment?

    When did you first go to gp? Was your appointment on the 2week wait pathway?You could call Monday and explain see if they can expedite the appointment or alternatively you could call the breast clinic and explain see if they can give you and earlier date.

    Hi Bellelouise,

    no there is a 6 week waiting list in Wales, so it will be 8 weeks by the time I see someone. 
    I assumed that meant my doctor wasn't to worried but I haven't spoken to her since the other symptoms have appeared.

    I'm probably worrying over nothing and it's just cysts, but I've found the last week I've been really down and tired and can't seem to snap out of it x
