Hello Karlie

thank u I will contact the helpline staff first thing tomorrow. Thanks for getting back to me.

Do go back to your GP. You are right to be concerned, but try not to worry too much: 9/10 lumps turn out to be benign conditions, not cancer. If you are one of the unlucky ones, the sooner you start treatment the better your chances of getting rid of the disease!

 

Good Luck, I hope it’s something benign and easily treated, if not this forum is a wonderful place for support! xx
