Breast lumps - terified

[Milkmachinemadness]

So just been to GP, he has found two lumps which are mobile , which he couldn't feel before. He won't refer me to breast clinic until I stop breast feeding. DD is 20 months. I don't feel ready to stop yet but i won't be reassured until I have . I feel that was just a waste of time

Please get another GP.

1. Most meds can be taken whilst Breastfeeding (check on BfN drugs in breastmilk helpline if not sure - 0844 412 4665)

1. All breast lumps should be referred to a specialist within 2 weeks (NICE guidelines), regardless of whether you are Breastfeeding or not. You can have mammograms and ultrasounds whilst still lactating (helps if you breastfeed immediately before).

1. If its all fine - get a new GP to refer you to a psychologist (check out your local IAPT service) for some CBT to address any health anxiety.

Best wishes, from a still Breastfeeding about to be checked out at breast clinic, psychologist as a day job! :-)

Thanks orange one , I don't think he would refer me as I was only scanned last September , I will push to see another GP next week x
