23 with a sore hard lump

23..smg
Offline

I can't get through to my doctor to get an appointment and have a horrible feeling about this, the lump is on the side kind of under left breast very hard and sore to touch, the last couple of weeks I havent been able to lay on that side or let my son cuddle into me as the pain can get so bad, the lump suddenly got bigger over the last few weeks I am terrified and can't talk to anyone about it, with not being able to get an appointment with my gp and being afraid of being fobbed off over my age I am feeling so much worse. In my gut I really feel I could have breast cancer, how do you not stress and stay confident if you do or dont have it

    Hey, I don't think anyone can tell you how to stay confident and not stress hun, it's a state of mind.... I've just been able to get on with things but I know many people can withdraw into themselves.  It's a really scary time and having a friend to talk to can really help, but you need to get on to your doctors, put your foot down.... go to the practice to make the appointment if need be!  How does your lump feel? Is it hard or soft and can you move it? My lump was completely painless.
