Hello I’m looking for experiences similar to mine. I’m 42 and a mum of 4 and nanny to my 7 month old grandson.
New Year’s Eve I had a sudden intense left chest pain that radiated into my shoulder blade. I went home from work and went to lie down on the bed and fell to sleep. I took myself to a&e on the 2nd when the pain weakened but didn’t go. A CT scan found a lump that resembled a cyst in my right breast. The dr told me a letter would be sent to my gp to refer me to breast clinic for further investigation.
Although I have a&e my new address, my Gp didn’t have my new address and unknown to me didn’t have my mob number. Anyway I got on with life and put it to the back of my mind until I have started to feel unwell with bad headaches and work burnout. I went to gp last week and asked to be referred to breast clinic. I’ve also been signed off sick with work stress/burnout.
To top it off I have to move GP practice as I’m not in the catchment anymore. So until I get with a new one my address remains wrong in the system, although they’ve made a note.
When I was first told about the lump I couldn’t feel anything. I have developed a pain I can only describe as dull aching deep inside. Today the is some pain on the side when I touch it. I can now feel the lump which to me is a large irregular shape right at the back of my breast and not towards the front. It’s been 3 months since I first knew of it but because the dr said they thought it was a cyst I just assumed it was nothing to worry about.
I’m now concerned and guess wondering all sorts. Wondering if pain indicates it’s more likely a cyst or something benign.
because I know how scary the unknown is and know you must be feeling really worried and uncomfortable 
hopefully more people are able to offer you some advice and reassurance. Have you been referred to the breast clinic because it sounds like you need this to have further investigation/put your mind at ease? In the mean time please take care of yourself and lean on friends and family for support xxx
