Lump in breast

Hi all,

I have noticed a lump behind nipple maybe the past 3 weeks. It's hard but I can only few it between fingers. If I press on breast I don't feel It. I have itchy nipple and my nipple pushes in and stays there. Eventually it pops out again. I do have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and front of ear. But none in armpits. 
I have had a lot of different health issues over the past few years and currently in a nvestigation for other things and am a bit reluctant to now tell doctor about this lump I have found. 
 

do you think I should contact them or let it be for another while. 
 

thank you

    Hi Honey

    Just read your post. I think you should contact GP. It may be nothing. However, the sooner you get it looked at the sooner you can stop worrying. GP's treat all breast lumps with caution and if your GP is unsure what it may be I'm sure they will refer you to the breast clinic. 
     

    I'm sure your GP will totally understand your need to get this looked at. 
     

    Wishing you well, Sarah xx

    Hi Sarah,

     

    thank you for your reply. I just feel as I have been at doctors for so much they will be getting fed up seeing me and hate idea of wasting time as I know it is likely nothing but because of the itchy ness etc and the fact that I never had this before It has worried me.

    Hello. No problem. 
     

    I get what you mean. But ... You would never forgive yourself if it was something sinister and you didn't go. You are not wasting time. You have symptoms. Also you said you've been noticing it for about 3 weeks. So you've sat on it for some time and it's still there. 
     

    Please let me know how you get on honey xxx
