Have I got breast cancer? Appointments and waiting for test results
1

Hello,
This is my first post.
Around 10 weeks ago I felt a pea size lump to the right of my left nipple, it was hard but ever so slightly movable. I’m only 28 so I assumed it was a cyst. Then I got the most horrendous itching in the area but again didn’t connect the dots.
About 4 weeks ago I examined again and the lump is now bean shaped but not perfectly round so I went to he doctor who referred me under 2ww to beast clinic.
The nurse couldn’t be 100% so sent me for ultrasound, 3 weeks later and I’m due to go for my ultrasound.
Two days ago I started getting this intermittent pain, right over the lump, as if someone is sticking a hot pin into me.
I’ve tried to avoid google and stick to nhs websites and avoid forums but I’m driving myself insane, I’ve got two little girls and I’m panicking.
Does anyone have a similar story? Good or bad?

Thank you for any info :slight_smile: xx

Hi welcome to the forum , it’s often impossible to say for certain what a “ lump” is without further tests - this doesn’t mean that it is necessarily anything sinister - the vast majority of referrals to the breast clinic turn out not to be cancer .When is your ultrasound -it’s a shame they couldn’t do it on the day for you -the anxious waiting is really horrible .Fingers crosses for a good outcome .Let us know how you get on .Jill .
