Lump, thickening, fluid, pain - 2 week referral.

First time poster.

 

I hope I’m posting in the right place. Apologies if I haven’t.

Historically I have been diagnosed with breast thickening and dense breast tissue. I was told some breast thickening was normal for some people and not a cause for concern. Mine fell into that category. No change for 3 years.

 

More recently I’ve felt in the area were the thickening was, what can only be described as a small bunch of grapes under the skin in the upper, outside quadrant of my left breast. They are firm but not solid. I would describe them as rubbery and tend to move (all the bunch, not separately) when touched. However I can only locate them when standing. They kind of disappear when I lay down. However I can see a lump and an indent when standing or raising my arms.   

 

On visiting Doctors, was referred to Breast Clinic and my appointment is 2 weeks today.  

 

During today ive seen more changes.  The underarm, around my back and under my arm is fluid filled.  I also have an ache in bust and upper arm/shoulder area.  

 

Thanks in advance for reading & responding (if you do that is, no pressure).

Wishing you all good health.
