Hi Everyone, I felt a large lump underneath my nipple which began really aching in my breast and my shoulder was starting to hurt too… so I did an e consult last Monday and the doctor saw me that day. She examined me and could feel it too but when she examined my other breast she felt a lump under my arm pit as well which really worries me as I had no idea it was there. She referred me to the breast clinic which I do have an app on the 20th but I’m so anxious and worried about them both now. I can’t help but keep touching them and panicking even more, I’ve told my husband I’m not worried but I really am. I just needed to write this down, hope that’s ok. 

  • I have just had a biopsy following breast pain and a lump. Sending love x 

  • Laura, you don’t have your pretend you aren’t worried. You will need support so, if you have a family member or good friend confide in them, cry on their shoulder, do whatever you need. Please don’t go through this alone. 

  • Of course it is! I'm sure you have your reasons for not wanting to express your worry and anxiety to your husband and I hope posting here helps somewhat.

    You can also call the Macmillan helpline to chat this through if you're wanting to talk to someone who's not personally connected to you. I contacted them before diagnosis and the nurse I spoke to was fantastic. 

    Best of luck for your appointment.

  • Hi Laura4ster

    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you are waiting on a cancer diagnosis.  It's perfectly understandable that you are worried but know that most lumps turn out to be benign but if it does turn out to be breast cancer it will no doubt be treatable.  I been diagnosed with breast cancer twice and after having treatment both time I made a successful recovery and I'm currently cancer free.

    Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment and hopefully everything will turn out ok.

    Best wishes
