Hi, I’ve been lurking around for a few days now so thought I’d post my story on here.

I’m 34 and mum to two children. I have breast implants and have recently been back to the doctors regarding a lump, although squidgy not hard, on my left breast. I did see the doctor a year and a half ago about this lump and she said I have lumpy breasts! However, I have since found out about two people I know that have been diagnosed with BC. One of them is my neighbour who went for a routine well woman check only to be told she has BC!, so I’m not prepared to leave anything to chance.

The weird thing is that I can really only feel this lump when I have my bra on! I’m just praying it’s my implant puckering up that I can feel, but thought I should get it checked out to be sure. I went to the docs last Monday and the doc examined me and felt the lump but said she thinks it’s nothing, especially as I saw a doc a year and a half ago and it hasn’t changed in size since. I have no pain with it but I can feel that it’s there.

I have an appt on Wednesday at the breast clinic so hopefully will get some answers then.

Thanks for reading xx

Horrible place to be, quite right to keep pursuing it tho.

Squidgy, hard, big, small - b****y lumps!

They all scare the hell out of us!

I would be reassured if i couldn’t feel it without a bra on, but hopefully the breast clinic will put your mind at rest.

Good luck
