Hey,
Okay here goes I’m 27 and around 2 months ago I found a pea size lump in my right breast, kind of at the bottom of my breast. Freaked out badly but went to the dr, she had a feel and said to come back in a month as could be hormonal. Month went by, my monthly visitor was delayed but 5 days which didn’t help my stress levels however the lump still remained. I went back to the dr and I have been referred to the breast clinic on Thursday (1 June.) the dr originally said I wouldn’t meet the urgent referral but after checking the guidelines then said I did, I am being seen within 2 weeks. To say I am freaking out would be a understatement, I keep thinking what if, what if. I am trying to keep positive, I have no other symptoms however my breast feel a little sore and sometimes painful and itchy although not enough to say it was anything different to how they were before. I have been for a massage to help destress, however the therapist noticed my spine curves slightly to the left, I have been for many massages before and this is the first time this has been brought to my attention, so that didn’t help and has started a whole new level of stress!! My lump is a size of a pea and I guess you can say does move but only slightly and I’m not sure if it does, my other half has said it gets bigger and smaller but again I’m not sure if it does. Argg panic!! I have a blood test tomorrow and then the appointment on Thursday.
Hi Becky,
Deep breaths…try not to panic, feeling anxious is quite normal when going through this, but at your age, bc is the Least likely reason for your symptoms, but it’s good you’ve been referred to get it properly checked out.
Honestly, the vast majority of women with your symptoms on here get the all clear, especially if younger.
Chances are, all will be well.
In dealing with this, it helps to carry on as normal, avoid googling symptoms as it changes nothing & makes anxiety worse & to distract yourself from it whilst waiting.
Let us know how you get on
