I noticed I was a bit sore a few nights ago when lying on my side and yesterday noticed a lump, or rather an area of thicker tissue, above the right breast, just below armpit level and an an inch away. The left side doesn’t have this at all, I just feel muscle. I’m losing weight which seems to have induced a period so potentially hormonal, as well as making my boobs smaller. Reading up I’m sure it’s nothing sinister, but I’m wondering if anyone has had similar and what the outcome was.
My mum and her sister both had breast cancer but were ‘older’. Mum also had lymphoma in her late 40s - I know there are lymph nodes in this area. I’m 35, had two kids in my late 20s and breast fed both for a year, healthy BMI, exercise regularly and hardly drink, never smoked so should be low risk. But it’s still worrying. Luckily I managed to get a GP appointment for this evening. I just have to manage the kids until DH gets home.
