Does anyone else have 'lumpy breasts'?

I am going to my GP tomorrow about a lump in my breast. This is the third time in three years that this has happened. The first time I had an ultrasound and biopsy, the second time ultrasound and mammogram. On both occasions the lumps were fibroadenomas, and nothing to worry about.

This lump has been there for a few months and I have been watching to see if it alters with my cycle. It is painful at times, like a bruise, and seems to hurt on the week between the end of my period and ovulation. This leads me to believe that it is hormonal, and hopefully nothing to worry about.

But I do worry every time this happens. I have a feeling that one day my luck will run out and one of the lumps will be cancerous. I was thinking this morning that I must make a will to ensure that my ILs don't get their hands on my dc if I die! I know that even if it is breast cancer, it is very treatable with a high survival rate, and that I am being irrational.

Can anyone reassure me please?

Thanks

hi verity , ahh please try not to worry [easier said than done i know ] but chances are its just the same type of lump as the last ones , i too have "lumpy breasts" , ive had two small pea sized lumps which i always get sent to a hospital to get them checked out only for the nasty old male consultant to tut after a very quick feel & tell me i have lumpy breasts & leave the room , leaving me lying there very & the younger doctor apologising . hope all goes well for you x

Thanks elmofan, you're right it probably is the same as last time. That's what happened to me the last time, I nearly felt like apologising to the consultant, but I did ask if I needed to get these lumps checked out every time, and he was most insistant that I should.

They are always in the same area, so I guess they are related in some way. Hopefully the GP will be reassuring tomorrow. I feel pretty run down and worn out, so that's probably why I'm stressing out so much! Must go and have a healthy lunch and take some vitamins
