Large breast lump found -worried

Hi

I'm 40 years old and mum to 2 boys. 

I have found a large lump in my left breast. At first I thought it was a small lump just above my nipple but when I press Into the breast it's about 6x6 cm. it's very hard. Strange thing is it's difficult  to feel when laid down. 

I can't believe I haven't felt this lump before. I lost my mum to breast cancer when she was 35 and I'm so scared the same will happen to me. 

With the size of it could it be anything else ? I have a mammogram in 2 weeks.

    As many of our members know, this will be quite a scary and challenging time until you know more but fingers crossed the mammogram results will bring good news in 2 weeks time.

    Hopefully you'll receive some support and kind words from our community soon but in the meantime, I hope the tips and advice given in this article will help you whilst you wait.
