Hi all im just after someone to talk to going through the same … I found a pea sized lump a few months ago and just put it down to thinking I was maybe going through the change ( I’m 46) two weeks ago I had some aching around rib cage especially when I was walking it was like a bad stitch so I felt around the area and noticed the lump in my right breast I’ve since had some like dull aching heaviness towards evening . The lump isn’t round it’s like a wide oval ish stone feel . I’m waiting to be seen by the breast clinic . I’m trying to stay positive, I lost my mum to cancel at 59 but she passed of sarcoma . Can anyone relate to this I’m so scared .
Thanks for coming across Webby81
This is the scariest period, when you don’t know what it is and naturally fear the worst. It must also be bringing back those memories of your mum. Do you have a date for the breast clinic? Do update this when you know more.
