Hi [@Crispyduck]‍ 

It is only natural to feel nervous, we think of our breasts and our minds seem to automatically think cancer when we notice something wrong with them. 

There are other things such as Cysts, which can be painful and if it is causing pain or growing as mine did, the breast clinic can drain it for you.

There is also Fibroadema again something I have, it was only found because of my cyst, which they have left alone as it wasn't causing me any issues, I would never have known it was there had I not gone in for the breast cyst. They did biopsy it.

There are possibly other things too but as I am not a nurse or anything I can only comment on what I have had happen.

I was having pain in my right breast last year, it had been going on for months and I really thought I could feel something I my mind kept going to the fibroadema thinking it was growing, I saw the Doctors and they felt something too so was sent back to the breast clinic. When I had the mammogram and ultrsound there was absolutely nothing found in my right breast where I was feeling the lump and had pain - but as an incidental finding they found the cancer in my left breast. They would not had found it if I had not gone in about my right breast. 

We know our bodies and know when something feels wrong, but I was wrong in my fears over my right breast, but it still turned out to be a good thing that I went in.

Thinking about what it could be doesn't go away until you get seen and it is hard to focus on things going on around you, the wait is so difficult sometimes, so I hope your wait goes quickly for you and that you get a good result when you are seen. I am glad you pursued it with your Doctor though and that they have refferred you anyway as it is the only way that you are going to get the answers.

Hi thanks Kay d 

I'm sorry to hear about your left breast but so glad you got checked , thanks for your words. I had a biopsy 10 years ago after finding a lump but thankfully it was ok, this feels completely different which doesn't help my mind, but trying not to think to much but I know it's started to get to me .
