I had a 6cm irregularly shaped cyst and had to have 60ml of fluid drained 😱 Surgeon was delighted, as was sonographer, as it’s the biggest they’ve seen in a long time and were laughing about the ‘baby’ I had in there! 😂 I now have an enormous dent where it was! My boobie hurts as it was quite a procedure involving 3 syringes but I wanted to post as it’s such good news; despite being irregular, painless and enormous it was a mere cyst. Thanks for all of the support from you ladies and I hope this assuages some anxiety for someone, somewhere! Naomi xx ... View more

Hi there, My appointment is tomorrow and nurse told me to clear 3 hour window so I assume it’s a one stop where they can do everything. I’m convinced the lump is a cyst so could anyone tell me what to expect with a fine needle aspiration? Thanks in advance! Naomi x ... View more

Thank you for your kind reply, Jo. I’ve been lurking here for about a week but the wait is starting to get the better of me. I’m 35 so luckily the stats are in my favour. There is a large dent and puckering when I raise my arm to do a self exam but I think that’s just to accommodate the size of the lump. I think I’ll feel more reassured when I see my regular GP tomorrow to discuss my blood results and fingers crossed the appointment comes through quickly so I have something to focus on! Trying hard to stay busy but I’m a teacher on Easter break; I actually can’t wait for work to distract me 😂 Xx ... View more

Hi, So my hubby found a golf ball sized lump a week ago and GP referred me as it was ‘much larger than a grape’?! She was a locum and quite brusque, told me my recent blood test had come back abnormal (for a different health complaint) but I would need to discuss that with my regular GP at a different appointment. She didn’t take family history (gran had double mastectomy at under 40 and then hysterectomy but she’s in late 70s and still going strong ☺️) and was a little curt as she was running late. Asked why I had let it get so big but I replied I’d been preoccupied with my jaw problem. She seemed annoyed which I found surprising as my usual GP is fantastic. I hope to get the blood test results tomorrow and discuss what to expect at the breast clinic. I’m usually very stoic and pragmatic but feel a little anxious today as my husband is quite alarmed and emotional - men 😂 ! Can I ask if anyone had a cyst this size as I suspect that’s what it is? Thanks! Naomi x ... View more
