hi,

I dont know when you had your last lump, but things might have changed since then, and now it is almost inevitable that the doc will give you an urgent referal to a breast clinic – did you go to one last time?

you already know how bad it is waiting to see what the results are, but I bet it does not get any easier evan if you have been there before.

do let us all know how you get on.

I am probably older than you(65) found a little lump by accident 9 weeks ago. Since then i have had it out and have recovered realy well, just a scar to show for it, no dimple even though it was 1.5inch big. Did not have any pain bad enought to take a tablet and now am back into life with a big bang fully recovered. Having radiotherapy next week which will interfere with my timetable bigtime for a month, but no chemo therapy. so although I am one of the unlucky ones who’s lump was cancer, it is very treatable.

the little cancers like mine are not as dramatic as those that cause years of chemo and treament but lots of people get them and are back to normal very quickly

hi wendy … i feel cancers all present differently and so do benign lumps but you are so doing the right thing good luck and keep us posted xxx
