Found a lump in breast

8 replies

I'm seeing the doctor on Tuesday anyway but just wanted to ask about other people's experiences.
I found a a few lumps a few days ago. Two pea sized ones and a more of a long shaped one.
I've just come off my period and I can't really feel the pea sized ones do just assume they were due to hormones. But the longer one is still there. It's not really got an end, it's kind of blends in with other tissue in the breast I suppose.
It's nearer the inside of my breast. Nearer the breast bone but I don't have the same in the other side.
I'm 33.
I'd appreciate any shared experiences.

Totally normal to have lumps, so not remotely panic-worthy. Always worth getting checked out though so do make sure your GP takes a look.

I went to the gp with a boob lump and the gp sent me to the boob clinic. (I'm 27) and they said it was a benign lump but only after a biopsy so I completely understand your anxiety.

It's an awful place to be. Xx go to the gp though xx

A friend of mine had a lump in her breast and was understandably very upset. It turned out to be a cyst and she had it removed. Try not to worry too much until you've seen the doctor. Thanks

Honestly my GP was amazing and I hope yours is too. But try not to worry.

I know it's dreadful but take some deep breaths and try and keep yourself busy if you get referred. I'd practically killed myself off in the week between referred!! I know it's hard but don't think the worst!!

Thanks for your replies.
I'm know lumps are normal. I'm quite lumpy Smilebut this one is quite hard.
My mum had a cyst last year so I'm not in panic mode (yet) just more interested in people's experiences.
I'm aware he will prob send me to have a test or two to be on the safe side.
This probably seems like a pointless post but I've not spoken to anyone about it really.

My fibroids have all been hard. It's unlikely to be anything at 33.
Breast clinics are thorough- you'll likely have a mammogram and biopsy.
