Worried about lump

I am sorry no one was awake to answer you , hope you got some sleep . Unfortunately there is no way any of us can say what this is ,and it is only a couple of hours now to ring for help 

possibly you need to see GP ( be assertive with receptionist ) you don’t need this worry over a weekend ! Radiotherapy can cause all sorts of issues ......

good luck and best wishes x

Thank you puzzler, I managed to get a few hours. I’m hoping the breast care nurse at the hospital will see me and by pass the GP as I’m still under their care as still having treatment. I’m really hoping it’s the radiotherapy but any lump now is going to freak me out, I guess I’ll be living with the the rest of my life. I have my daughters birthday tomorrow to distract me over the weekend x

Have spoken to the breast care nurse who is booking me an appointment to get checked out. Will be the standard 2-3 week wait but I do see my oncologist on the 29th so will see which happens first. I forgot how much the waiting time was the worst! X

hi I was interested to read your post. I had lumpectomy last August and rads that finished 16th Nov. I have had my 3 appointments cancelled! so consequently have not seen anyone since my rads finished. I've had no problems except a lumpy boob. I've been reading on hear and wasnt unduly worried as many people find that after rads there are many lumps and bumps. I suppose we all have to get to know our new bodies. But, I am now going to insist on seeing someone re these lumps and get them checked out. I had never found my lump as it had shown on my 1st mammogram. I think I have been either a little too laid back or more likely a little scared. Good luck x

Thanks for you reply youngatheart and I’m shocked to hear you haven’t had a follow up appointment! They told me I’ll have one with radiologist in 6-8 weeks. My oncologist appointment has been booked for months and is a follow up after chemotherapy. I would definitely insist on a check up, like you say to know what to look out for! Any lump I find now is going to fill me with panic so just getting some confirmation that this is normal is what I need. I’d be very surprised if it were cancer, my last radiotherapy session was a week ago, surely nothing would have survived? 

I wish you all the best, please keep me posted xx

I would agree with you. after finishing rads only a week ago I would think highly unlikely that anything sinister is there. they took scans of my boob halfway through and at the end of rads to check all was ok. I was fine after rads but as you say any lump fills you with dread. I think I have had delayed shock as all those feelings seem to be starting now 5 months on. 

So I rang last Friday and told they would book me in, I’ve had no appointment come through so rang my breast care nurse. She called back to say no appointment had been made and that clinic is full! She said she sweet talked them and has got me an appointment for 7th May which is forever away! I see my oncologist before then so will ask them then to take a look.
