Not really sure on the point of this post, I guess just to voice things.
I have my appointment with the breast clinic tomorrow following an appointment with the GP on 13th. My wait was initially over 6 weeks but I have managed to thankfully get an earlier appointment.
I’m preparing myself for them saying it is cancer. I will be surprised if it isn’t with my symptoms.
I found a lump around 8 weeks ago, initially it was really small, what I would describe as a small stone. I waited until I had my period as between ovulation and my period my boobs are quite lumpy. It did feel harder than the other lumps but wanted to see if it settled. Following that it was still there but I just kept putting it off. Roll on my next period and my boob swelled a lot, much bigger in size to my other boob. It was very visibly clear and much firmer. I went to the GP who referred me.
The ‘stone’ feeling lump is still there with another right next to it but they feel like they are just lumpy parts on a much bigger lump that feels around 1.5 inches. I also have another area that is raised/harder but it feels more like a line than a lump.
I addition my boob feels swollen/firmer. I’m not sure if this is thickening. It is itchy on and off but some days I could rive it off. I have also had some burning feeling in my breast. It also feels achy and heavy.
Sorry for the long rambling post, I know I can’t know for definite until they do tests but it in my mind I’m convinced that it is something
Sorry you find yourself in this stressful situation but well done for getting yourself an appointment. Unfortunately even at your appointment they are unlikely to diagnose anything and be prepared they might have to do a biopsy to double check things. They might also give you an ultrasound and a mammogram. Again don’t panic, they have to build up a good map of whats going on especially with hormonal boobs. 1 test is never usually enough because of the dense tissue.
