Terrified

Didn’t think I’d be back here. Why is it always the right breast. Been to doctors this morning as felt small hard lump in breast (upper close to armpit). I’m 47 years old and definitely peri menopausal as not had period for 2 months. Dr felt it said it was mobile and very localised and almost rubbery. Thought it was a fatty lump or cyst. Going for mammogram a week on Friday. Absolutely terrified. As anyone else had cysts. I’ve previously had mammogram 4 years ago and in the same area was a fatty lump. Can they grow or separate.

Can anyone offer me any comfort. Need to come off Dr Google. He’s not helping.

Hia
I have had lots of cysts in my left breast (always the left!) and several aspirated. I’ve been to the breast clinic 5 times since September 2015 and I’m back again this Friday after finding another lump. I think it’s a cyst but I always have that niggle of doubt, hence coming back to the forum again. I’m 52 and apparently menopausal. They keep telling me that the cysts will go away eventually.

Im going to say try not to worry but I know it’s hard. I know from experience that Dr Google sucks! This site is much better for information and reassurance. Fingers crossed that all goes well at your appointment. Xx
