Hello all, I am 32, I found a small hard, not painful pea sized lump a few months ago... I don't know why but just ignored it and thought "ah it will go away, probably hormones!" That and I still don't know why but slightly "embarrassed" to even contemplate going to my GP and having it checked out. So thursday night I was laid in bed and couldn't argue with myself anymore (as we all do...!) felt the lump again and thought of my children immediately, that and I have just applied for my dream job to get that dream house we've always wanted so figured, ahh what harm could it do to see the GP, "dreams don't just build themselves lets keep going!". My mum has had a breast cyst before so I'm clinging on to that notion that I hopefully have the same. I saw a locum female doctor who was really lovely... Extra lovely mainly as she was heavily pregnant so I think that eased me, funny to say I know but it did! Anyway she found it straight away and concentrated heavily on the area (bottom left of my right breast) and assured me I had done the right thing and has referred me to the breast clinic. I have also been told 2 weeks waiting but if I have not heard within a month to contact the GP again. I'm quite nervous like most of you are and what is really funny but at the moment I'm more nervous to take my top off rather than anything... I'm so bashful of myself it's crazy! But anyway I will come back regardless of outcome and give my warm, well wishes and hopefully some mental positivity, because I know sometimes we say some things.. and we can mean another (good at that with the partners! Keeps them guessing!) so I am glad that on here we all seem to have and share nearly the same experiences and I wish all massive positivity and mental strength xxx
