Help! Lumps and swollen lymph node.

Hi everyone. I apologise in advance if my concerns have been mentioned before. 

 

About 2 months ago I noticed a small lump out the outer side of my left breast, and some slight pain. Now I have noticed further hard lumps and my lymph nodes feel almost knotted/enlarged on the same left side. 

Im also feeling pressure/tightness on the left side. The left breast feels heavier and the areola is larger and being pulled to the left. 

 

I am currently abroad so am not sure if I’m freaking myself out (it’s just a cyst or something minor) or if I should pay to see a Dr here? I won’t be back in the UK for a few weeks. What would you recommend I do? 

TIA

Hi Bella,

As ever, it depends how you feel about it. If you would feel happier with the reassurance, then by all means, get it checked out, otherwise a wait of a few weeks probably won’t make a lot of difference. 

The chances of it being anything serious is the least likely outcome, but do get it checked out whether sooner or later.

Hi I’m going through the same I’ve just had a 2nd appointment for another breast scan lumps and bumps as you described basically, I’m worried sick because I’ve never had a recall before I always think the worst,it’s the time inbetween that give you too much time to think if you haven’t had it checked you should sooner the better.
