Second time to clinic with lump

Good evening 

last August I reached out for your fab support when I found a lump. Following a mammogram and ultrasound they found two . They took biopsy and placed a clip in the larger of the two and was diagnosed with fibroadenomas. Subsequently went back this feb with breast pain and was informed I had cysts.

unfortunately I found a lump a couple of weeks ago and thought cyst due to menstrual cycle but it's not gone away, I've taken the plunge seen my GP and referring me back to the breast clinic 

It's the same breast, I've got other health issues going on and feel like my body is broken now! 
anyone else had the same?

is it just more cysts or another fibroadenoma? Wish they had biopsed the other fibroadenoma for reassurance

    Hello Naew15, 

    I am so glad you received great support here last August and that your lumps then turned out to be fibroadenomas. 

    Poor you though having to go back again to the breast clinic after finding yet another lump. You did the right thing though in getting it checked by your GP and I hope you won't need to wait long now to be seen at the breast clinic. 

    I hope that you will hear from others here who have had the same happen to them and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. Try not to fear the worst though as it's possible that these are also just cysts or fibroadenomas but the only way to know really is to leave it all in the hands of the experts at the breast clinic. They will be able to do the necessary tests and scans and to tell you what these lumps are. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing to worry about this time again for you. 

    Best wishes,
