Hi So two weeks went to the doctors after finding a breast lump but then they found another one just under nipple 3-4cm and now freaking myself out. I have done too much reading, as it said on my notes its solid so now freaking out, I know if solid and big that is a concern,. I have an appointment on Friday for the clinic to check them out. Sorry just scared.
Hi Ro12 , sorry you find yourself here and it’s a horrible stage, waiting for your breast clinic appointment. Very good advice from Crobins02 , not to Google! So much information out there is out of date or simply wrong. This forum is a great place for support and shared experiences.
To start with, try to keep in mind that most breast lumps are not cancer. I’ve had a variety of referrals over the years, only the most recent one was cancer, nearly 7 years ago now. I had a solid lump many years ago which was eventually removed as the biopsies were inconclusive - atypical cells kept being said - turned out to be a fibroadenoma (benign). Nowadays I think they’d probably know from the ultrasound as technology has improved so much. I’ve also had ‘lumpiness’ which turned out to be cysts and needed no treatment. So, try not to assume it’s definitely cancer at this point.
I hope you can keep busy till your appointment on Friday. And I hope even more that you come back here afterwards and tell us that all is well. Please keep us posted, there will be love and support here whatever the outcome. Love and hugs, HFxx
You are all so lovely and really thankful for the messages, thank you reassuring me I have googled far too much on the big solid business xx
