So yes I am 23 a mother of 2 children (4 and soon to be 2), my grandmother on my Dad’s side died from the disease in her 30’s and left my Aunty when she was just 4. So all siblings on my dad’s side d decided to not have children my dad is the only one who has.
My Aunty went for a test when I was little and her risk was high. This a little background to my genetics.
So the past few months my right breast has been tender and heavy along the side leading from armpit downward. It feels lumpy but not a lump (after breast feeding 2 children the skin is quite loose to try and feel deeply) until when I massage a specific place it is quite painful. When I knock it or when one of the children or partner hold me to tight. I also feel it has lifted alittle, compared to my left which has always been the perkiest since having children.
After touching I can still feel the heaviness linger and even now my breast feels tender.
My partner is worried after his Mom’s diagnosise and has pestered me on end to get it checked out, I just want to hear opinions first??
I suggest you go and see your GP if you are worried. Any changes should be checked out and you know your body best. Book an appointment it will put your mind at rest.
The Dr said yes Mr Right boob is nodular (sp?), and that can’t feel “a” lump as such but am being refered to my hospital, I don’t know what to think? She ruled out hormonal change, I’ve had the coil 2 years plus and my age. She didn’t seem concerned but was it a front she learnt in training not to scare you, or is it nothing to worry about I don’t know.
I haven’t felt well all day since hearing and slept most the afternoon. Also found out my Grandmother died at 36 from Breast Cance and my Aunty was high risk when tested (reason to not have children).
I also told my Mom which was hard as she to is now worried.
What will ths hospital do? Is it always bad news being refered? Does everyone get reffered?
Lots of emotions the Dr said to keep up with the ibuprofen, and now I’m waiting anxiously for the call.

from Breast Cance and my Aunty was high risk when tested (reason to not have children).
