When I was 19 I got pregnant, during my pregnancy I found a small lump in my breast. I thought to myself that at my next midwife appointment I would mention it but by the time the appointment came around I completely forgot about it.
I went on to have another 2 pregnancies (still have the lump) and finally decided to get it checked out. By this time I was 24, so 5 years with the lump. I got a physical breast exam where the doctor said it was a fibroderoma and an ultrasound after which they said was a fibroderoma.
I’m 29 now, so 10 years with the lump. Recently 2 of my aunties have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now I’m scared what if my lump was breast cancer all along and wasn’t an actual fibroderoma as no biopsy was done. It’s been 10 years so it’s too late, the cancer would have spread everywhere by now. I’ve also read online how some people got diagnosed with a fibroderoma but it ended up being breast cancer. The lump itself has probably grew a tiny bit in those 10 years but I’ve also been on the pill, which I’ve stopped now. Sometimes there is pain before/during and after my period. The only thing that is making me believe it’s not cancer is that I first developed the lump when I was 19. I’m really scared.
