Large lump in right breast.

Hi,

I found a large lump in my right breast that is firm to touch and has some skin puckering where the lump is located. I saw my GP on 11th and she was concerned it could be something and has referred me to the breast clinic. I have an appointment on 2nd December but I'm already thinking the worst and am struggling with the wait as I just want to know what this is! I have had some back pain previous to finding the lump which is an awful burning sensation that is much worse at night. The GP thinks this is a water infection but I really don't think this is the case.  How do I stop over thinking it all so I can get to this appointment without thinking the absolute worst.

Thanks xx

    Just a further update from me.

    Phone call today from consultant and biopsies confirm cancer. Still no results in regards to type, but I have an appointment booked on 10th with the surgeon and my BCN to discuss the rest of the results then and put a treatment plan in place.

    Hope everyone else is doing ok

    Hi,

    Just wanted to update, I have IDC grade 2 stage 1, ER+ but still waiting on HER2 results. Lumpectomy with latissimus Dorsi flap reconstruction and axillary node removal on 6th January. Then definitely radiotherapy and possibly chemotherapy dependant on HER2 status and clear margins and nodes. I'm definitely nervous but glad I know roughly what's going to happen. Any advice on what to expect from surgery would be greatly appreciated xx
