My hospital don't seem to have an issue with keeping on draining. Im 5.5 weeks post surgery. Had it drained at least 6/7 times since then. My chemo was actually meant to start last Thursday and has been delayed due to this still not settling down. Frustrating to sat the least.

Hi Leanne, how are you feeling? It's so hard isn't it as there so many questions that are going through your head. I'm trying to think back over every tiny detail what was said in that room but then it's so difficult because it's a bit of a brain fog. Mine said he didn't know what it was. Does that mean he thinks its cancer but doesn't now exactly what...or that be literally has no idea what it is.. I know theres absolutely no point in going over these questions but I really can't help it. It's exhausting. Since Thursday I've had what I can only describe as a pressure feeling in my chest, as though someone is pressing down on a particular spot in my chest. It's constantly there so I'm thinking how could this just be anxiety..? What time is your appointment tomorrow? The very best of luck, I will be thinking of you xx

Hi Leanne - I'm in exactly the same position as you. I get my results next Thursday. I had found 2 lumps in my right boob. One of them he said he wasn't overly concerned about. The other one he said he "didn't know what it was". He has taken a biopsy from that. He also said I have some enlarged lymph nodes under my armpit and took a sample from there as well. I am so so scared. I feel like I'm preparing for the worst. I'm trying to think positive but it's hard isn't it..? Sending lots of love your way xx

Thankyou for your responses. I really do appreciate them. Charys - My moment yesterday when he said "I don't know what it is and I don't mess around" made be feel a pinch better. I thought 'thank Christ you don't'. I am so pleased for you that you are through the other side ❤️. I know there have been millions of women in my position so I mustn't feel sorry for myself. It's so hard not think'What if?', 'I'm only 31 with 2 children this isn't bloody fair'. Thoughts I know that will have crossed through everyone's mind over and over again. The other concern is the neck/shoulder stufness/pain I've had consistently and constantly for over the last week. Along with the 2 lumps and enlarged nodes, I'm finding it difficult to stay hopeful. Especially because the neck pain is constantly there, I'm finding I can't 'forget' even just for a few seconds. I am finding comfort from reading things on here and praise you all for your messages even when it's something you are not obliged to do. Lots of love to you all xxx

Thanks Lorraine ☺️ I saw two different doctors, the first one who felt both my boobs and marked where the lumps were and then the second who did the ultrasound and the biopsy. I'm not too certain which one it is that I'll be seeing again.. To be honest they were really nice. I asked him about the lump and his response was "I'm not sure what it is and I dont mess about". They then sent me into a room with a breast care nurse. Is this something they do with everyone who has had a biopsy as routine or just people who they think the outcome is not going to be great? I was expecting a biopsy, feel better that it's been looked at properly. I think what's made it even more scarier is that the lymph nodes in my armpit are also enlarged. Which I think with the two combined doesn't sound great. I feel like I'm in some sort of 'dream'. Although dream isnt probably the correct term. Xx

Hello :) I'm not sure what to write actually as I'm say here in a bit of a daze. I've just had my appointment at the breast clinic after finding lumps in my right breast. The consultant was concerned about the one of the lumps as he said he did not know what it was. He took a biopsy from this. He said I also have enlarged lymph nodes under my armpit and took a sample of cells from there. I go back for my results next Thursday. I'm thinking the worst. Why are my lymph nodes swollen? I know they can be swollen due to infection etc but it's too much of a coincidence that I have 2 lumps in my breast and swollen nodes in my armpit. Sick with worry and also feels like this isn't really happening. Has anyone ever had a lump and swollen lymph nodes and all was ok? I'm 31. Xxx

I've just come out of the hospital. Not the greatest appointment. Had a scan and the consultant is worried about the first lump that I found near the top of my boob. They have taken a biopsy from this. I also have enlarged lymph nodes under my armpit. What on earth does this mean. I am so scared. Im back for my results next Thursday.

Hi Jobey, Fingers crossed everything will be ok. There's no pain in any of my lumps. I've just been reading a thread on here regarding the Mirena coil (which I have) and thyroid medication (which I'm on). This coil is coming out ASAP! Xxx

Well what a long week..I cannot wait to finally have my appointment tomorrow. Since Friday, I've also developed a stiff neck, mainly on the right side (same side a lump) and also a shooting pain down my right arm. The shooting pain is intermittent throughout the day and doesn't extend all the way down my arm, probably ends about halfway down my upper arm. Feel ten times worse than I did already due to this. I know my senses are heightened and I'm feeling every little thing but these are definitely there and happening. Roll on tomorrow xx

Thank you for your replies ☺️ I think what's worried me the most is, is that I've never ever felt any sort of lump in my breast before and these were quite easy to find, I wasn't doing a breast examination specifically. The first one, I was applying fake tan and stroked across it. The second one which I found today, I was running down the stairs pretty fast in my PJ's so kind of grabbed hold of my boobs because I didn't have a bra on (haha). I'm an E/F cup so not the smallest. I just hope next Thursday comes around pretty quickly, although I have a feeling it's going to be a very long week. Xx

1:29 PM Hello Ten days ago I felt a small lump near the very top of my right breast. It knocked me physically sick and I went to see my doctor the next day. She said she thought it was a cyst but referred me for a two week wait and I have an appointment at the hospital next Thursday (29th). I was feeling slightly more positive. I have just discovered another lump in the same breast but in a different place. This is to the bottom right of my areola and feels quite large, a few centimetres at least. This definitely wasn't there last week as the doctor had a good feel of both my breasts. I could be physically sick. What are the chance of me getting two cysts in the same breast when I have never ever had one before. Would a cyst develop that quickly. I am petrified. I literally feel like I cannot possibly wait a whole week for the hospital appointment. I just feel like I have a gut feeling something is wrong, that two lumps like this couldn't just be 'nothing' Has anyone else ever discovered two lumps that turned out to be nothing? I think what's worrying me more is that this second lump definitely wasn't there last week. I'm 31. Xx
