Hi everyone…
So I’m new here and so god I came across this lovely informative forum!
Bit of history…
At 22 I was sterilised I have 3 children at 26 I had a hysterectomy and 3 months ago the gave me an injection to stop my ovaries working so I’m currently in an induced menopause at 31 so things couldn’t get an worse right??
Well a week and a half ago I found a pea size lump next to my left breast towards the armpit… asked my husband to feel it and he couldn’t feel anything so I thought ah well it’s all in my head, until it was causing some discomfort and tenderness, so today off I go to the doctors … upon examination she said you know you have a little lump next to your nipple too I said yep noticed it about 6 weeks ago (didn’t think anything of it) then she asked me to lift my arm and straight away she found the tiny lump … asked me to put my top etc back on… then said I’m going to refer you to the breast clinic on an urgent referral due to the lumps, your hysterectomy at a young age and the fact your mum had womb cancer of an age we wouldn’t usually expect… so I’m panicking… I can cope with whatever life throws at me…what I can’t cope with is the thought of my 3 little people being put through this crap at such young ages 
? however I know it may be nothing sinister but also I know that it could be… so how does everyone cope until that appt??? Sorry for the essay everyone I’m rambling I know xx
Hi MissShan,
Yes, it’s horrible isn’t it, but although it doesn’t feel like it, thankfully you have done all you need to for now & have been referred to get it properly looked at.
It can help just to keep busy, carry on as normal, stay away from Dr Google & although it’s easier said than done, try to get into the frame of mind where recognising that getting unduly stressed won’t change anything, can also help.
IF you do get a bc diagnosis, then you’ll all deal with it then, but it is still highly unlikely it will come to that anyway.
We do all get through it.
Let us know how you get on.

Thankyou so much for your kind reply, I completely agree it’s unlikely but still makes me panic and it’s in the back of my mind constantly, I will be sure to update whenever I know more thankyou so much xx
