Breast cancer...new lump

Really sorry this has happened to you. Definitely contact your breast care nurse or team to get it checked out. It may well be nothing, I developed a lump albeit longer after treatment than you’ve experienced and was really worried but it’s a cyst, hopefully yours is nothing too but don’t ignore it, all the best x

It really is so stressful and the last thing you need!!! I had exactly the same days after finishing chemo found a lump in the other breast and it was also a cyst, luckily i had an appt already the next day so didn't have too much waiting time but i know exactly how you are feeling, just get it checked asap and try not to worry too much!!! Xx

OK thank for that. I'm just waiting to hear back about an appointment now..hopefully early next week. Do you mind if I ask what your lump felt like? From what I read cysts are soft and moveable whereas what I am feeling is hard and doesn't move. I know I'm over analysing now! TIA

It didn't feel particularly soft and i can't actually remember if it was moveable but as soon as the surgeon examined it he was pretty sure it wasn't sinister!! but did send me for an ultrasound to confirm. But like you I  thought i've just had chemo if it was a tumour surely the chemo would have shrunk it and it's very soon for it to have grown to a size where you can feel it!!

That's exactly what I was thinking! OK that's reassured me somewhat.  Thanks a million 

Hopefully it'll all be fine. Let me know how you get on. X

Will do thanks so much x

Hi,

Just said I,d let you know that lump turned out to be a cyst. I cried with relief when it was confirmed after ultrasound ! 

Ah that's great news! Thanks for letting me know I was thinking about you and hoping all was fine!! When you hear them tell you it's a cyst I am so with you on the relief.....

Xx

Oh what a relief and wonderful news.  Thanks for sharing.  God bless.
