Hi, I’ve never signed up to a forum before so don’t quite know how this works! I have not been to the Doctor yet but have been experiencing pain in my right breast for about 3 weeks. The pain seems to be getting worse. Underneath my breast (same one) is really bumpy and if you press really hard (only done it once cus it hurts) is a harder lump. I am too scared to go to the Doctor, I am overweight and have big boobies (FF-G cup) so (although I know you can’t diagnose me) but could it just be fat gathering? Any advice more than welcome.
Hi Looby75
None of us can tell you what it is but its vital you get to your GP. 80% of lumps are nothing to worry about but if you dont get it checked, worry is what you’ll do. Let us know how it goes.
