Hello. I have been lurking here over the last few days but have only just plucked up courage to join in!
I’m 41 years old with two children and last Saturday I found a tiny, hard almost rice grain lump in my left breast. It’s very small and fairly near to the skin - in fact if I flatten the skin it almost sticks out - I can just about grab it between my fingers but it doesn’t really seem to move and almost feels like it’s attached to something. I went to my GP first thing on Monday and I have an appt with the one stop breast clinic tomorrow afternoon. I am pleased that my appt has come through so soon - as I am sure you can all appreciate it’s been hard to think about anything else over the last few days - however I am just generally worried, which isn’t like me.
I have previously had a fibroadenoma removed about 15 years ago, although to be honest I never even felt that, it just showed up after a scan for breast pain. This has really come up out of the blue and it just feels horrible because it is so hard. My aunt has previously had breast cancer so that it possibly on my mind, plus I thought I would go to my GP and she would tell me it felt like a cyst and not to worry too much, but instead she just said she couldn’t really reassure me - and to be fair with hindsight it was probably unfair of me to ask her what she thought.
I was just really wondering if anyone had anything similar or any idea what it could be? I know my appointment is only tomorrow - but tomorrow seems a long way off
