I found a lump in the left breast just just under 2 weeks ago. Made an emergency appointment to see Dr, who was very nice. He examined me and said he found 3 lumps. The lump I found myself is about 4-5 cms at the top of nipple of left breast it’s very hard and oval in shape. I’ve had a feel and can only find 1 other lump which is to the left of same Breast towards the arm, this lump is different, it’s round but still hard. I’ve been referred to breast clinic, my appointment us today, just 10 days after seeing Dr. I’ve been absolutely fine and very grounded about it all,however, today I feel very scared. I don’t want to over react, but I am hoping to go today and get answers, but reading posts on here I might not get those.
It certainly is scary Connico, we’ve all been where you are now, but you’re doing exactly the right thing by having it checked out. Good luck for today. Do let us know how you get on.
Good luck Connico, my guess is that they will do an ultrasound which they can see instantly but if they need to be sure you may have to have a biopsy which you will have to wait for the results of(usually about a week). Unfortunately the waiting is the worst bit,but I’d recommend only using this site or Macmillan or Cancer research as if you google you’ll frighten yourself to death! The specialist will probably have a good idea what’s going on even before further tests(good or bad). Write down the questions you want yo ask before you go so you don’t forget anything and I would recommend taking someone with you for moral support. Hope all goes well xxx
Many thanks ladies! I’m taking my hubby who is next to useless! This is his time to shine…lol! When you read posts of people in the same position it makes you feel better, the questions and emotions are all the same. I keep trying to feel my lump…It frightens me and I recoil each time! Just doesn’t feel normal! Oh well hopefully in a few hours some good news.
Just returned home, after been prodded on poked at, I’ve got 10 cysts, which are close together. Consultant was going to drain then when he thought there were 3, but he said he couldn’t drain this many. I had some calcification in right breast too. I’ve come home feeling much better. I have so many questions about it now, I think that I’m going to have a chat to my GP. Thanks for you support ladies!
