Hi there, I'm sorry you have this worry hanging over you. I am in the same position as you though I'm a bit older at 43 and have discovered the same type of lump you have described in my left breast. I lurch from one minute thinking at least if it's anything it is small and hopefully caught it early to thinking the worst case scenario. I've had things in my breast before but deep down I've known they were fine but this I really can't call. I keep thinking that because it appears smooth and not rough and bumpy that that's a good size but the fact it doesn't move and isn't painful makes me think the other way. When is your apt? Mine is next Wednesday.

Wishing you all the best 

Xxxxx

Hi Rids90,

I'm literally sat here searching for posts that give me some reassurance and came across this - I'm 31 too with exactly the same slightly-bigger-than-a-pea size hard lump, had appt with dr today & been referred to breast clinic. I have a 6mo baby, breastfeeding and am terrified. No other symptoms of anything or any pain but as you say your mind just runs away. Best of luck for your clinic appointment, I know the wait is the worst but try to keep busy and not worry too much til then. As you say most lumps are harmless. Fingers crossed for you x

Hopefully if you're breast feeding it will be a blocked milk duct. I had the worry about lumps in my breast when I was feeding a few years ago. It's literally the last thing you need when you've got a small baby to worry about isn't it?!! Xxxx

Thanks for your reply Willow77. Dr said it didn't feel like a duct sadly, and as I have no pain I am inclined to think it's something else...just trying to keep busy and not worry too much but the wait is horrible isn't it. Really hoping it's just something else feeding-related but I've read so many posts saying that lactation can mask symptoms/make it more difficult to detect. Only had my appt today so I don't even know when I will be at the clinic yet, I just want to get it over with. 

Hi, I have what you described, was refered to the breast clinic and the ultrasound didnt pick up anything. I was refered to breast surgery which I went to yesterday and the dr says it's a blocked duct which can be comon.Mines not painful 

Yes the wait is killing. I haven't received a phone call to give me an appointment yet. I have an eight month old I stopped breastfeeding about three months ago so my boobs where so different after stopping they feel bumpy anyway but this bump is different it's so hard I can kind of pinch it. 
did they just give you an appointment when they called or did you get a letter? Apparently I should hear before Monday. 
good luck for Wednesday willow77

Not sure if this will be any consolation or not, but in case it helps, I have been experiencing rectal bleeding and went to the doctor about it last May. Because I am in Ireland and somebody hacked our health system delaying everything, I was waiting until August for a colonoscopy. During that time, I managed to experience a whole load of bowel cancer symptoms - pains in or around my stomach (yeah, I think chest, back, anywhere was "well, is it really there or is it closer to the stomach?"), some loose stools, narrow stools, weight loss and so on. I had the colonoscopy and they found nothing but hemorrhoids, which logically, I always thought it was anyway, but there were some other symptoms (especially the weight loss) that were worrying me.

I know my situation is related to a different cancer and therefore a very different scenario, but I know how many symptoms you can find if you start worrying. In my case, some were no doubt anxiety, but others genuinely just seem to be a weird coincidence.

Hope you get good news. 

I had a letter saying I should hear by a certain day and if I didn't then yo ring a number. I heard the next day.

Ye I've got the letter saying il hear by this Monday, I just wish I knew when my appointment was. I'm like freaking out about getting the appointment and then wait again for the appointment. 
margret thanks it does actually make me feel better. I think I can feel another lump in my neck but I'm at the point that I don't know what I'm making up now in my own mind. Glad you got good news. Thanks for sharing it's just nice to know that actually other people are feeling the same, that the sheer worry of it can make you imagine things too that might not be there.
