Hi everyone.I rarely check my own breasts, I have an aversion to them ever since having kids. I dont know why but touching them in any way makes me feel physically sick. I even have to wear a bra in the shower, I take it off for the last minute to wash them and then a clean bra goes straight on when i get out. (Yes I spend a fortune on bras because they get ruined from the constant washing). So I do give them a quick feel around in the shower but thats as much as I can do, the GP gave me a check last year and all was fine and they said they are happy to check me whenever I feel it's needed because she knows what a struggle it is for me. I went to the gp for an unrelated issue yesterday and asked for a check and she found a lump in my right breast. She said its smooth, moveable but quite large (golf ball sized) so she was concerned. She's put me on the 2 week pathway so im just waiting for an appointment. Im just really panicking and catasrophising the whole situation, expecting the worst. I dont know how i missed it, i know i dont check them thouroughly but since yesterday i feel like i can feel it in there when my arm grazes against it, it feels bigger than the left but maybe thats my brain playing tricks on me? I suffer with sore breasts throughout different parts of my cycle anyway so havent noticed the pain from the lump but since yesterday I can definitely feel discomfort around that area, again maybe thats just my subconscious. Has anyone else been in this situation and everything turned out ok?Thanks for reading ❤️X

Deep breaths. 6 out of 7 lumps seen in the breast clinic aren’t any cause for concern. I’ve had two. The uncomfortable one was an infected cyst. If it turns out to be that word people don’t like using, there are good reliable treatment options that work.

One step at a time.
