Hi. I noticed a lump on side of my breast just below armpit about 3 weeks before Christmas, but didn’t pay much attention to it. Any way went to doctors in February as was still there. Had to wait a month for my appointment as it’s back logged here. Any way my bloody car broke down on way there so have had to Redbook and now waiting for Mother appointment. Any way this lump/swelling is still there has got bigger since the first time I noticed, I’m not sure if it’s apart of my breast or swollen lymph nodes. I have just found another lump just above my nipple, my veins are very promante and so is lump by my armpit. No other signs I can see bit not sure if looking properly but I do keep go light headed and dizzy. Sorry for the long post
Hi sorry to hear you are also going through this. I myself am at my wits end with worry. The kind ladies on here have said that most breast lumps turn out to not be anything sinister and i am trying to hold onto that thought best i can. Im sorry if my reply has not been of much help. Sending you hugs. Linda x
Thank you x
Mrsd87,
Do you mean you had to wait a month for the hospital appointment to check the lump/s and are waiting for another hospital appointment? As far as I’m aware the NICE guidelines aim for anyone being referred to the hospital re breast matters be seen within 2 weeks. If you haven’t yet got your appointment or have a long wait, it might be worth phoning the hospital and asking if you can be considered for any cancellations?
As I’m sure you are aware most lumps are quite innocent. However you are doing the right thing getting it checked out.
I hope it goes well - if you do need any help plenty here on the forum.

Hi. Yes waited 2 weeks for letter then a further 3 weeks for appointment date. I have phoned bk twice asking but no one is giving me and info and have to wait. Also been bk to doctors but they don’t want to refer me again because I will have to start process again. Also I got my husband to check my boobs aswell as myself and he noticed a simple at the bottom of breast which I have never noticed before but I can only notice it when I’m stretching.
