Have felt something small and knobbly in my right breast for a few weeks went to the Dr's last week and she checked me and said she didnt think it was anything to worry about. Said it wasnt deep down but on the surface and there was no "puckering" of the skin. Told me to come back in 2 weeks after a period to check but stressed it wasnt anything to worry about.

Talking to a friend yesterday she said to go back to get referred as the only way to actually know if it is ok is to get a biopsy done which in truth is correct isnt it?

You are going back in 2 weeks though. If it is still there she will refer you. If it is causing you a lot of anxiety go vack and ask to be referred now for your peace of mind.It is unlikely to be anything sinister :)

Def still there but she kept saying - your breast is like a wheel with lots of spokes coming out of it maybe one of them is slightly blocked.

Im now really, really worried :(

What happens next?
This will depend on what your doctor finds when they examine you. If you are in your twenties or thirties, are still having periods and have only just noticed the lump, your doctor may suggest that you return for another examination after your next period.

It's a really good sign that she told you to wait, but if you can still feel it when you go back and if she still insists it's nothing insist on a second opinion if only to put your mind at rest. 9 out of 10 women who go to the Breast Clinics skip out smiling, so you probably would too. They will be able to tell you what it actually is though. Just saying 'it's fine' wouldn't be enough for me either. Good luck!
