I was relaxing with my son and casually itched my right breast. that’s when I noticed. I felt again and pressed down and its a solid non movable lump at the top of the breast not directly under the nipple but slightly. its not painful and it’s about size of 50p. my other breast feels fine and squishy and armpit is fine. but thought I’d check around the rest of right breast and discovered swollen lymth node I think also in right armpit. I’m 26 yrs old. I have 2 children my youngest is nearly 3 I breast fed both children. going to get doctors appointment as soon as reopen tomorrow. I would like honust opinions. I know people just want to be kind and not scare me. but it’s fine. I want to face this. thanks x
Hi Kat87
Welcome to the BCC discussion forums where I am sure you will get lots of good, honest support from the many informed users of this site. Due to it being the Christmas/New Year break the forums are a little quieter than normal so it may take a bit longer for other users to reply to your questions.
In the meantime I have put for you below the link to one of BCC’s publications you might find helpful.
Take care,

thanku. hopefully get people’s opinions and advice soon x
Hi there
Get to your GP asap - you should be seen by breast clinic within 2 weeks. This does NOT mean you have BC, it is the NHS finding out which of a myriad of breast conditions may be affecting you. You will get worried but please do not Google cos there is so much crap out there.
I was diagnosed in 2010 , had double lumpectomy and rads, now on drugs to stop the cancer coming back, after finding a lump bigger than yours, and I am now fit and well. So if it is BC, treatment is excellent and you will get superb care for as long as it takes.
I shall be celebrating my 66th birthday tomorrow with joy and thankfullness because I am alive - not the story it would have been for my mum’s generation.
Sending you every good wish, and let us know how you get on. This website offers tremendous support so use it as much as you need
