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.

  • Hey [@Whiskey123]‍ 

     

    Going through exactly the same thing.  Awaiting a date from the urgent referral (doc only referred today).  My lump is also large, it feels like an olive in my breast!  It's hard, painless, smooth(ish) and a little mobile.  
     

    I am sick to my stomach with worry and also think how have I missed this lump. 
     

    Good luck with your mammogram!  Let us know how you get on! 

  • It wasn't good news for me. Advised that I have a cyst and a mass about an inch long that looks cancerous. They can't confirm till I get my biopsy results on Wednesday but basically told I have cancer. 
     

    Hopfully yours will be a cyst. Just try to keep busy I hear the waiting is the worst part.
