I've had lumpier breasts since I had DS 2.5 years ago, but last month I noticed one lump - like a thick vein on the middle right side - just felt more prominent and tender. I went to the docs and she said it didn't feel like a lump or anything sinister, just normal breast tissue, but she always refers so I have an exam today. They have sent some material on what to expect which is very clear, but I am still scared. I lost 2 aunts last year from cancer (one was breast) and a colleague died recently from cancer, whilst another one is undergoing chemo. I am bracing myself for them to say, actually, your doctor was wrong. Not helped by an ongoing anxiety problem. No point to my post really, I've not told anyone bar DH - although he has to work so I am going on my own. I guess I'm hoping that someone will say that if it was bad, my doctor would have picked it up already.
