Hi, sorry if I’ve posted in the wrong place… and if my text seems jumbled coz i don’t know where to start
A few months ago I noticed quite a big growth in just my left breast, it would spill out of bras etc where as my right breast wouldn’t. Normally there’s only a slight difference between my breasts but they both have always fitted nicely into the same cup size. Now my left is 2 cup sizes bigger than my right, it hangs different etc but I never thought anything of it until a week ago today (tuesday 15th october 2019) was a scary day as I found a big ish lump in my left breast what i had suspected I’d had for quite a while (6 months ish, was too scared to check and confirm) every time I laid on my front I could feel something it wasnt painful or uncomfortable so I pushed it to the back of my mind along with the breast size thing. Then something just clicked I rang the doctors they got me in for Thursday the 17th she asked me quite a few questions, checked me over and referred me to the breast clinic. I went in expecting to be told i had imagined the whole thing but she said my left under arm is also slightly swollen. She told me 4 weeks and not to worry as it could be benign but on the Friday I had 2 missed calls off the hospital and by the Saturday I had received my clinic letter which is dated for the 24th (in 2 days)
I’ve tried to stay off Google but obviously I’ve been obsessing constantly checking the lump is still there but however tonight I have found a smaller second lump no where near the first it’s not painful as such but it was a bit tender this time.
Both lumps are solid as a rock and dont move I’m only 27 married with 3 boys aged 5 4 and 2 and I’m worried sick I must have gone over every possible scenario in my head, I just dont even know.
Please tell me there is someone out there who has gone through something similar at my age I did not expect this and its making me really ill with worry my stomach is in knots and my mind is doing overtime
Thank you for reading and also breast cancer runs in my family on both sides:(

Hello, oh yes, it’s completely normal! My actual core biopsy was fine, I thought….wellthat was easy!! Then the pain hit the next day, lasted around a week….paracetamol is all you can do really….
dont forget the odds are in your favour, 8/9 out of 10 lumps are innocent…..so it could be anything, cyst, hormonal, fatty tissue……but your in limbo and that’s horrible…..xxx

Thank you they confirmed the lumps are likely tumours it’s just waiting to find out it they are malignant or benign. Maybe I am a wimp but the pain makes me want to cry it’s that sore x

Oh you poor thing. I’m so sorry, it must be horrible waiting. I haven’t any experience of breast lumps but I know how much they can hurt with just mastitis etc so massive sympathy.
I hope you are able to get some relief soon. I wonder if it might be an idea to call your Dr and ask them to prescribe a stronger painkiller?
Thinking of you. x x

@stitchnangelxx I was at the doctors on Monday, she referred me under the two week rule so hoping an appointment will be soon! My mind is in over drive at the minute, thinking the worst before anything else. Trying to keep busy until I get to speak to a consultant and get some tests done x
