Hi all…
I tried to resist this until I knew more but Im fairly sure my head may explode with keeping my worry in.
I am 46 and over the last couple of months noticed that one of my breast felt heavier than the other. I absolutely did not think anything of it and thought that Im due for my yearly Mamo in January so I can just wait.
A couple of weeks ago whilst on holiday I was reading a book and just itched my breast and instantly felt something.
On my left breast just above and to the left of my arioli I felt a protruding lump that felt like a piece of rock, I clearly remember thinking well thats not good and promptly decided to ignore it until the mamo.
I tried really hard for a few weeks to ignore it but if I so much as touch it, it is so obvious that I decided best get it checked.
I attended my GP who stated it was about 6cm and completed my two week wait refferal.
I do have a family history of BC hence the yearly mamo, both my Mum and my sister.
Since the referal I thought Id have a bit of a look at my boobs, more because I thought it was a small hard lump1-2cm and the GP thought 6cm and unfortunately I have noticed my nipple is slightly pulled in on that breast and also points left and down.
I needed to post here really to stop me blurting out all my worries to my husband or my 22 year old daughter as at the begining of the year I had a thyroid tumour, which resulted in half my thyroid being removed and was eventually found to be benign, so I dont really want them to go through all that worry again if this is nothing…
