Hello everyone! I am 23 years old female and a few months back, about June, I've found a lump in my breast. It is a singular, hard lump. It has grown slightly since then. I don't think it is coming from the skin, it seems to be attached to the breast tissue, deeper then the skin. I didn't want to be a hypochondriac and make a big thing out of it, plus the chances of it being something serious seemed non existing to me. So I decided to leave it for a couple weeks and see what happens but then I just didn't had time to deal with it so I left it up until now. I went my GP and she checked my breast and armpits. I have a lot of small lumps in my armpits, I always did. They are just blocked pores. They don't change and they are not attached to the tissue below, unlike the lump in my breast. Still my GP said that they feel this same. They don't!! She is going to refer me to the breast clinic but just as a a non urgent case. She thinks that all of them are this same and that they are calcium deposit. She maybe right but I don't agree with her. I am annoyed that she wasn't more thorough and didn't give me a chance to speak. I know that it is probably nothing serious but I am worried that she has the wrong information. I don't know what to do. My GP practice is really difficult to get in touch with and I don't want to bother them. I am just frustrated and worried because what if it is something sinister and I have to wait for an appointment, six months?
