Hi LuckyLola,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am delighted to hear that your mammogram was clear. Are you sure that this lump wasn't present when you attended the clinic? It would be unusual for one to grow so quickly. Leave it a few weeks, but if it is still there or getting bigger, it might be worth having a word wiith your GP about it.

Please let us know how you get on and remember, that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thanks for replying. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Did a breast exam before going to the mammogram. And don't understand how something the size that it is wouldn't show up on the mammogram.

I agree that its unlikely something would just 'appear' - which makes me think it is a cyst or 'mouse' or something non cancerous.

I'll wait a week and see how it goes.

Thanks 

Hi LuckyLola,

Here's hoping that it subsides soon, but, if not, get it checked again. Please let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Hi, Sorry to hear about your  lump. From my personal experience I would advise that you ask to be referred to the breast clinic. I had a lump that I only found due to it being tender. Apparently I have dense, lumpy breasts, so it was not visible from the mammogram, however, was found and biopsied with ultrasound. Unfortunately for me , mine was cancerous, so I would always say 'better safe than sorry'.I hope I haven't caused you any undue anxiety by sharing my experience but I hope by doing so it helps you and keeps you well.. Wishing you the very best of luck 

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply @doonie72. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Better to be safe than sorry, for sure.

I'm going to call my GP next week and ask as you suggest.

Best wishes.

Thats great. please let us know how you get on. We've all been there and understand what a worrying time it is. 

Best wishes sent your way

Hi..

I'm in a similar scenario. Clear mammogram 4 weeks ago. Now found pea sized lump in right breast.  Been referred back to clinic gp said nothing can develop so quickly in 4 weeks and not to worry. But I'm absolutely petrified! I'm crying most of the time and can't stop thinking about it. Can anyone help or talk to me just to keep me calm. Xx

Thankyou.

At my last breast appointment the breast nurses and then the surgeon said that the mammogram was only a snapshot of the day and that things can change any changes and they were happy to see me. They have given me an open appointment so l can take it up when required, without the GP referral. 
Any concerns or lumps and they are happy to help you. 
I'm seeing them tomorrow due to breast pain. 
take care and have your self checked out again.

My mammograms were clear when I found a lump aged 47. I had the mammograms to aid my diagnosis so I was surprised when I was told several months later that it was breast cancer. Mammograms don't show anything if you have dense breast tissue like I had and the Cochrane Reviews of mammography said that on balance mammograms were bad as they lead to overtreatment of women who have slow growing cancers while not detecting fast growing ones as mammograms are normally only offered every three years. So I would go to your GP now and say you have a lump. Cancer is normally painless so it might be another condition. But best to go and get it checked out by other tests rather than mammograms.
