Hi everyone, apologies in advance for this slightly self indulgent and possibly rambling post!
Just after new year I noticed my right breast felt really hard, almost akin to when I had a blocked duct whilst breastfeeding. I kept an eye on it, did change, but I still felt a lump. Waited until my period, it was still there, so I went to the gp, who examined my breasts and underarms, gave my chest and neck a very quick check. She made an urgent referral to the suspected breast cancer screening unit and I’ve got my appointment on 10th of this month. Since then, I’ve noticed a really prominent lump on the bone beneath my collar bone, but on my left side. I don’t know if it was there before, have become hypervigilant since then (obviously!), and I can actually see it when I look in the mirror.
Is it worth mentioning this when I go for my screening, or am I just being OTT?!
