Breast lumps - help please

[Helpme214]

Okay, I know this is my 3rd thread in two days but I promise it's my last. Honest.

I had my GP appointment and she examined my breasts. She found that one was definitely lumpier than the other but she said she wasn't too concerned because she thought it felt as though it was glandular.

She asked me to continue to examine and to look out for any changes, particularly on the lumpy side.

Do you think the doctor definitely would have known the difference between it being glandular or being something more concerning? I know can't help but worry incase it is something more.

Thanks for your help.

Myheart lets hope the referral comes through quickly.

myheart please keep us updated. Thinking of you so much. Hope your referral is through soon

Thank you both, I'm going to ring the clinic first thing tomorrow morning.

I have discharge coming from my nipple, a lump in my breast and then a niggle in my chest between my breast and collar bone. Oh god.

Helpme- I have very lumpy breasts too, its as if I have bubble wrap under my skin! I think lumpy breasts are very common.

Good luck this morning Myheart

Please let us know how you get on

I know the signs are worrying but there are so many experts and so much knowledge now. Stay positive. Thinking of you.

Any news myheart?

Hi helpme, my referral letter was faxed to a different hospital today as wait time for urgent appointments at the first one was too long, just over a month.

The receptionist at doctors surgery faxed it at 12 as I was on the phone. They rang at 1:45 and I'm going in on Friday morning.

As I type this I can feel the pain in my boib/armpit.

Oh god, I can't believe this.

How are you coping with your anxiety? The only thing I don't get anxious about is my health. The irony!

Have you got someone supporting you my heart?

I've spoken to a friend but that's it. I don't want people to worry until I know the bottom line on Friday.

It's a long time until Friday when you are worrying my heart most people would rather worry with you than have you worry alone. Don't be afraid to ask for someone to listen and also to maybe accompany you

Thinking of you myheart

Thank you both. I don't want anyone to feel the worry that is coming and going in waves. I have 3 children and they are all I can think about at the moment, they are only little really. Even if it's bad news I won't be telling them anything for a while.

I just wish it was Friday already!

Not too long now my heart what time is your appointment?

Hi Merry, have to be there at 9:15. My closest friend has insisted she be there with me which is very nice of her.

Trying to keep busy today so that it's not on my mind too much.

I'm shitting myself, i'm not going to lie!

My kids are finished school tomorrow at 12 so I'm hoping I'll be finished in time. I'll update once I'm home.

Thanks for thinking of me x

Thinking of you here too.

We will all be thinking of you at 9.15. Try and sleep if you can. So pleased your friend is going with you

Thank you Wolfie.

I doubt I'm going to sleep much, im currently browsing on here and trying to get on top of my washing.

I told my mum and she is devastated. Wish I hadn't said anything.

Washing? I have bloody piles of that.
Shall check in tomorrow.

Hi myheart, thinking of you lots today and wishing for the best outcome possible. Take care

well it's good news for me thank goodness! I'm so relieved I can't tell you.

Had a mammogram on both breasts and ultrasound on the one that is giving me trouble. They said lumps could just be my breast tissue changing due to my age (38) and the discharge is likely to be caused by the milk ducts shortening which would also explain the inverted nipple.

Such a stressful week and now i have the worst headache ever.

Thank you all for your kind words and support, I reread this thread many times.

The last next to me wasn't so lucky and I can't get her off my mind even though i will never see her again.

It's crazy what you can convince yourself of!

Brilliant news so pleased for you x

Oh my goodness that is really wonderful news 😀 I don't know you but I'm so happy for you! Have a large on me tonight!

That's wonderful news! Relax now and have a lovely weekend

That is really fantastic news. You must be so relieved.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Such a lovely bunch of people x

If I've learned anything from this its to look after myself a lot more.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and honestly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your messages.

Xx

myheart brilliant news, so pleased for you. Been following thread as I too am 38 and have been to breast clinic twice in last 2 years and had convinced myself it was something dreadful. I know we're only young(ish) really but I do feel since 35 things have started to drop / droop / bulge / go lumpy with my body . Here's to the weekend
