Lat night I found a lump in my leaky breast, its at the side before it disappears under my arm, and that side of my breast feels bruised, though theres nothing to see. The lump feels different to that of the one in my right breast (whom I shall refer to as ROBIN from now on, as is Robin Right Breast!! lol)
It feels smooth and hurts slightly, which I suppose is a good sign. I wasn’t too happy last night and cried buckets on my poor husbands shoulder. What do you think it could be? I’m thinking now maybe a cyst or an infection or something. Trying so hard not to think the worst, but its sooo hard not to!

sorry you have found another lump. I can totally understand your worry & panic but hopefully it is a cyst that has got infected or something.
I would definitely try & get to the doctors tomorrow and have it checked out.
Much love to you and hope you get some rest & sleep tonight. Hang in there and try not to worry (I know, everyone has been telling me that too! It’s not easy)
I recently found a lump in my good breast and was worried sick like you are but it just ended up being breast tissue rubbing against the breast wall, but no matter what friends and family say to you its not going to put your mind at rest until you see a doctor, get on that phone at 9am tomorrow morning.
Please try not to worry!! a lot easier said than done I know!
I can only offer my support and say go to the docs again …i’m off tomorrow for a different lump in a different place and know he will be fed up of seeing me! but we have to ask and we can not help worrying can we!!!
Sorry you have found another lump, and as everyone says, make sure you are on the phone as soon as your docs opens and demand to see someone. When I rang with my lump, told me it was a “routine appointment”. But DO NOT accept that, seen as you have Robin, make sure they see you in the morning.
I hope and pray for you that the lump is a cyst or something similar and will keeping everything crossed for you. No point saying don’t worry I know, but try to get some sleep and let us know how you get on.
So sorry youve found an other lump but please do as everyone says and get yourself along to the GP in the morning. Tell them it is urgent and you are already under the hospital With the breast unit) and need to see your gp ASAP… lie to the receptionist if needs must to get an appointment… bad i know but sometimes they are a law un to there own.
Take care lovey and i do hope this is nothing to worry about.
We are all here if you need us

Despite what I’ve found I managed to get a reasonable nights sleep, not helped by my son sleepwalking!!! How strange that was. It was his 3rd B-day yesterday and my aunt was just on the phone telling my that my younger (much younger) cousin had been doing it, my stepson does it occasionally but my hubby deals with that!! I got him back to bed and that was that!! really strange!
I’ve just phoned the docs, the lady gp is full today, there are only 2 gp’s at my surgery. I explained to the receptionist that I am expecting results for a breast cancer screening tomorrow, I couldn’t think of a more serious way of putting it, and that I had found another lump in my other breast and am in a bit of a panic. She was very nice and understanding about it and asked me to ring back at the end of surgery at 12:30 and she would get the doc to speak to me, then I s’pose its up to her if she wants me to go down or not then.
I was just going to leave it til tomorrow and speak to my consultant about it as I get the results about Robin!! But I suppose on thinking about it , its a different lump and therefore a different issue, would I be right??
Hi Heidi
so glad you managed to get some sleep. How strange about your sleep walking 3 year old!!! I have a 3 1/2 yr old and if he falls out of bed he continues to sleep wherever he lands! They are so funny at this age! Hope your son had a great b’day!
Well done for calling the doctors. I guess you could see what your doctor says but maybe she will say for you just to mention it to the consultant as well tomorrow. I am thinking of you as you get your results… I am sure you are anxious to get the waiting over and done with.
Have a good day today and hope all goes well with talking to your doc.
I phoned, she was busy, but she did phone back. She said it sounds like a cyst but must get the consultant to check it out tomorrow, as I’m still under the breast clinic, I’m within my rights to have it checked out under the same treatment as I’m already recieving, however, after tomorrow, if I have any probs she said to go straight back to her.
Thank you for your support, everyones been so great and supportive, I think I might have gone mad without this site, and for one that considers herself quite strong of mind!!
The butterflies are already beginning to flutter, its not excitement, more dread, but, well you know what I mean.
How are you doing???.. i have everything crossed for you tomorrow.
Make sure you go in there and ask every question that you can and dont be fobbed off… you want answers
take care my love and thinking of you for you appointment
love & hugs
