Hi Louise. I found a lump just over a week ago and went into google overdrive! I'm fairly certain it's made me more worried...so I've stopped now. This site is great for both reassurance and information. I found out today that my appointment at the breast clinic is on 6 th September so only a week to go and hopefully they'll be able to tell me what it is. my lump is, apparently, the size of a baby tomato and mobile too. Like you, it doesn't feel too mobile and I've given up trying to guess if being mobile is good or bad. i completely understand how everything goes through your head - especially with regards to children. But I keep reminding myself that BC is one of the least likely causes of the lump. But it has taken me a week to calm down a bit! Let us know when your appointment comes through and take care x

Thanks Ann. I think I made the mistake of googling - which hasn't helped. I also think the lump has got bigger in the last few days - or it could just be that I know it's there now. I'll feel better when I have an appointment - it's a one stop clinic so that should be good. I think I'll tell my husband when I've got the appointment - there's no point both of us worrying. We've got two children (12 and 😎 and I don't want them to know/ worry. thank you again for your reply - I've read through a few threads and what an amazing forum this is. A wealth of information but shared from women with such compassion and empathy. Really amazing.

Hi. I feel a bit of a fraud as I still haven't had my referral appointment. I found a mobile lump on my left breast a few days ago and got a Drs appointment that day. It was fairly odd..as soon as I said what the matter was he instantly said he would make a referral to the breast clinic - without looking/ feeling the lump. He started filling in the form and asked me to show him where it was " without taking anything off"! I pulled my top and bra down a bit to touch the lump and then he did feel it with one hand for a couple of seconds. He said he felt about the size of a baby tomatoe and 'cystish" this is morning I realised he hadn't checked my contact details so rang the clinic myself who said no phone number had come through with the referral . They said I'd get an appointment within two weeks. i know I'm being silly about this - it's probably just a lump but I'm getting really worried. I've not told my husband because I can't see the point in both of us worrying. Any advice would be gratefully taken
