    Hi Mummy2one,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear how you feel following your breast clinic appointment today. If you are not told anything, please never be afraid to ask. Did you only have an ultrasound, or did you also have a biopsy?

    You should certainly have been told whether or not they suspected anything untoward. Not all lumps are cancerous, especially in young people. Some people get benign cysts or fibrous changes. Your GP should get a report from the hospital shortly and they should be able to tell you what they found. It is not unusual to have swollen lymph nodes in response to a mild infection. These normally settle down after a time, but sometimes they remain permanently up.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Here's hoping for good news.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Mummy2one,

    If you didn't have a biopsy, here's hoping that nothing untoward was found.However, whether this is the case or not, you should have been informed of their findings. Phone your consultant's secretary and ask what the outcome was and where you stand now.

    I sincerely hope that it is good news. Please let us know how you get on.

    Kind regards,
