I’ve found a lump!

You poor thing! Your Doctor should have referred you straight away if they seriously think it might be something nasty, it's not fair that you've been left to worry like this. 

Hi, thanks for the reply! 

im wondering whether or not to call them again and ask for the referral. She did give me the option and was happy to refer straight away however when I asked whether waiting would effect treatment etc if it was something, she said no as the lump is fairly small so I said I was happy to wait in case I was a blocked duct and it went away. 

a week and a bit later and it’s still there so it’s making me more nervous now! 

ive had a breast lump before and it turned out to be a cyst. The GP said this definitely wasn’t a cyst though, so I was hoping it was a blocked duct!!! 

Do it! Otherwise you'll just worry. 

Keep an eye on those lumps. I referred myself in 2016 and 2018, and they said they were just cysts, now the cells around the lumps have become cancerous. 

I think the more time you have to dwell on it the more it blows out of proportion in your mind! So, for your own peace of mind I’d suggest you get in the system and get it sorted.

Best wishes x

Thanks, I think I will. I just keep umming and arring 

1) because I don’t want it to be anything 

2) because I feel like the minute I say do something the lump will disappear and I’ll feel silly, same as what happened with my cyst. Although  they could still see the cyst on the scan it was just smaller. 

my period isn’t due until the start of July (just over 2 weeks and then I have to wait until the end of it) so I don’t know if I can wait that long to see! 

also my husband is away at the moment and he has said he will come to any appointments with me so I don’t want him to be away if I need to go! 

my heads in a bit of a spin? 

how quickly did your Clinic appointments come through? I can’t remember from my last one? 

I fully understand all the reasons you give…..from going to see my GP it was 2weeks for appointment……I don’t think you should ever feel silly, if it is another cyst that’s fantastic, but if not at least you’ve been right on the ball and acted quickly. I don’t think your head will stop spinning until you know for definite what’s going on, but I appreciate you don’t want to do this without your husband being with you.

I have appointment on Thursday for scan results and my head is in a continual spin!!

Whatever decision you make will be what’s right for you.

Hugs x

Thank you. I just called the GP and annoyingly they’re closed for covid clinic so I guess I will have to try again tomorrow! 

Sod’s law! Let me know how you get on x

Please keep us in the loop. It is a bloody scary time and most of that fear is from your head and facing th unknown. Don’t feel silly. Being cautious could save your life. I hope you mange to get an appointment soon and the Dr listens to your concerns x

Thanks. yes it is all very unnerving I must admit. I’ve just called the doctors and the GP I saw isn’t back until tomorrow so I’m going to have to wait until then. 
The lump is still there which is diminishing my faith that it’s a blocked milk duct as of hoped if it was it would be gone by now. I’ve also had ongoing back and shoulder pain and pain under my right rib cage for a while now and I’ve put it all down to other things and just carried and also I’m am always ridiculously tired and again just put it down to getting a bit older and being busy or not enough sleep. 
I’m starting to worry it’s all associated now and this could be a cancerous lump rather than a blocked duct? 

I know my mind will race and I’ll never really know until I get properly checked out but it’s so hard to think of anything else!
