I found a lump...

Hi everyone

I'm brand new to this site, stumbled across it while researching breast lumps. 

I have found a hard lump in my right breast, about a cm or so, give or take, above my nipple. It's not painful and it doesn't move, and my right arm has been aching lately too. The reason I am posting is, I guess, for reassurance? Support? I really don't know. I just know I needed to get it out. My husband is asleep at the moment, I've only just noticed the lump, but I am absolutely petrified. I'm 37 with four children, two of which have special needs. I don't know what to do, I'm panicking! I have read a few of the other posts on here, and I have to say how amazing I think you all are, especially those going through treatment and diagnosis. I will have to call my doctor on Monday won't I? If only they were open at the weekend, I could get this seen to asap. Sorry for the long post, I just needed to tell someone, anyone

    Hi My Lovely

    Try not to worry.  Although I know easier said than done!

    There is a big chance all will be fine but you def need to contact your GP. They may refer you to the breast clinic so it can be investigated further. That's what happened with me. The sooner you get it looked at the better.

    Thank you so much for replying, I do really appreciate it. I am a lot calmer than I was when I first found it, I wasn't expecting it so I'm sure it was mostly the initial shock. I know I need to be rational and book an appointment with my gp, that's the only way to put my mind at rest. I hope you're okay Sarah, sending you my love too
