I had lobular breast cancer in May 2024 and I had a mastectomy. Now in May 2025 I have found 2 lumps in my remaining breast. I’m waiting for a mammogram next week - to say I’m scared would be understating it. I was just getting my life back!
Please give me hopefuly stories of lumps after breast cancer that turned out fine! Thank you.
Dear bug 1,
My heart goes out to you, the worry and anxiety is endless at the moment be kind to yourself, take one day at a time.
You have a mammogram next week, wishing you lots of
luck. My last mammogram a few months ago, I found the radiologist was very happy to talk to me, allowing me to look at the screen afterwards, I know all units are different, however maybe ask if anything is different from your last one. This may save a lots of worry until your next appointment
Please come back when you feel up to it let us know how you are doing
With the biggest hugs Tili 
Hi there @bug1 - I’m sorry you’ve found lumps in your remaining breast , it feels like Deja vu doesn’t it !
I had a mastectomy in September and have recently finished chemo and am having immunotherapy and in the same position as you having recently found a lump in my remaining breast . I’m back for a mammogram on 5th June .
How I’m keeping myself calm is reminding myself that 8 out of 10 lumps are harmless and that until I’m told it’s not a harmless lump … I’m treating it as though it is .
I have however told myself that if I’m unlucky enough for it to be cancer , I know I can face the treatment … I’ve done it once x
Like you though . I’m just starting to feel stronger and less fatigued and my hair is growing back so
I’m really hoping it’s nothing .
I think we are so tuned in to anything now after breast cancer treatment that it’s hard not to think the worst , I think the best thing to do until your appointment is try a d distract yourself if you can . Go for walks, enjoy a hobby , do nice things for you so you aren’t worrying yourself sick x

Thanks so much for the support.
Wow that sounds tough. Thank you for your wise words - I will try to remember them. I hope your mammogram turns out okay too.
I am so very sorry for everything you are going through. Thankfully, despite my surgeon’s suggestion of a double mastectomy back in 2022 because lobular is normally bilateral, I have remained in remission after my oncologist threw all possible treatment at me. I pray for harmless fatty lumps in your instance so you may move onward and upward through life cancer-free.
Hi, glad you are in remission, I’m waiting for my results but I’m hopeful. Thanks for your support.
@bug1 - when is your mammogram ?
