Breast cancer worries tiny lump

[Bex4567]

Trigger warning ........breast cancer

Hi im hoping someone can help me as im spiralling...
Ive had breast cancer worries for a while i have just had a baby shes 13 weeks old..

I deceloped a small area on my breast that become sore and red..having bad anxiety i jumped straight to breasr cancer but my docter isnt concerned.i then felt a lump in the nipple but this must have popped instantly as no longer there.

I then kept looking at my breast and noticed my right breast by my nipple looks indented...
Ive been examined by 4 differnet docters all who have felt the area and felt no areas of concern.ivw been in that much of a panic they have referred me to the breasr cljnic for reassurance..one saying there 99 percent sure it isnt cancer.

However now when i hold my breast and use 1 finger to feel around in that area i can feel a small tiny like dot which is harder than the surrounding area its tiny about size of a grain of rice but ive gone into turmoul and now fear its that small no docters can feel..i no i shouldnt examan myself with 1 finger but ive found it now and cant stop ...
My docrer said i will feel lumps and bumps if i feel like this and there only referring me to reassure me as ive been examined by about 4 docters in a week

Please help me i think im dying i havnt eaten for 4 days

No one i guess 😢

Take a deep breath op. At 13 weeks post partum there will still be a lot going ok with your hormones even if you aren't breastfeeding. I think the fact you haven't eaten for 4 days suggests what you need more than anything is some help with your mental health. Even if you aren't normally this anxious, post partum hormonal changes can make you very vulnerable. Please contact your gp and explain how high your anxiety levels are and ask for help.

Dear Bex4567 I understand how frightened you must be, but you have been seen by 4 doctors this week and have been referred to the Breast Clinic. If there is anything suspect there, they will find it, and it sounds as if you are getting the care you need.

I know it is hard but please try not to panic. It is unlikely to be cancer, but just down to the changes that are happening in your body after giving birth.
Even if it IS cancer, if it is so so small that it is hard for the doctors you have seen to detect, you will not die of it. You will get treatment and it will be gone.
Try to get some food and some sleep ( I know that's hard with a very new baby) and try to distract yourself somehow.
I'm much, much, much older than you and 5 years ago I found a lump too, though mine was about 1 cm long. I had excellent care from the NHS and am confident it won't be coming back.
Congratulations on your baby and I wish you verything good for the future.

Fantastic advice!

💐💐💐🌸🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷 try not to worry - is there any anxiety meds your doctor can give you?

Thankyou the docters thunk im crazy and say i dont have it but i can feel smething with one finger pressed in....im so worried its that small they cant feel it ....ive already thought ill have to say goodbyw to my kids its horrible

Trust me OP, having had various fibroids in my breasts and then a very small cancerous lump (7mm), the doctors will find it if there’s anything wrong.

OP, can I echo what @MinnieMountain and others have said. Four doctors have all concluded you are fine so please take a deep breath.

Your breasts are swollen to deliver milk at the moment, the ducts are getting used for the first time in their existence You may have a tiny particle of calcium or salt blocking one of the ducts which can cause swelling and redness.

A badly blocked milk duct is no fun so if your red patch gets worse please don't panic but also don't be afraid to go back to the GP. It is also possible to get thrush in your breast, or mastitis. Both can cause pain & inflammation. The joys of motherhood 😊 Drink plenty of water, and try some relaxation techniques. And eat something. Starving yourself won't help your baby.

Congratulations on your little one.

Aww OP I was like this after my baby. I had really bad health anxiety and found lumps and bumps everywhere. You have been seen by 4 docs and now been referred. Your body has been through lots of changes and will be lumpy after a baby. Try not to worry which i no is easier said than done! Congrats on your little one xx

did thry feel yours..i woildnt feel so bad if it was under the slighy dent..im not breastfeeding but still have milk stuff coming out. Coz i can feel it and they cant its making me wortied its tiny cancer as it feels harder than the rest of the tissue...
I no its cancer and i no i have to say bye to my kids..it feels attached to the fat aswrel

Also my area of concern theres no swelling i can just feel it when i press one finger in amd feels attavhed to fat

Also i have a ready achy back which ive had for about 10 years that i now think its spead to my spine

I also have an itchy back right shoulder which im petrified is another symptom..
I no docters have felt the area and said im fine but u hear of cases where they csnt feel things and then find them on ultrasounds or mammos 🤦‍♀️its horrible i cant help thinking i have it im 38 by the way

This is anxiety because you've just had a baby. Get the mammogram to reassure yourself though.

How is it axiety when i can feel something there

Its good that you have a breast clinic appointment as this will hopefully be able to reassure you that any changes are pregnancy/post baby related.
It does sound as though you are suffering with post natal anxiety. You really should visit the GP and ask for help with this. You will end up being unable to care your baby if you are too anxious to eat.

Cyst even tho docter cant feelit bit i can and tiny and deep attached

They will do a scan of your breast at the clinic so they can see what's going on inside.
The fact your GPs all seemed to say it's very unlikely it's cancer is a good thing. But it's good to make sure.
Wishing you well. I've got an appointment for a breast lump next week too. Sending a hand hold! X

They cant feel any lumps or anything i can when i press one finger in deep....they are only reffering me to re assure me apparently but its what i can feel making me worse ...
I no i have terminal cancer

Even tho i can feel something deep would you all be reassurwd youce been examined by 4 docters and all cant feel anythjnf

Did they feel yours and are you ok noe

Breast cancer is very rarely 'terminal'. And if it's so small you think the doctors won't feel it, then even if it was cancer it would be at such an early stage that they should easily be able to remove/treat it quite quickly. But 80% of breast lumps detected at screening are not cancerous.

Please stop thinking the worst. X

Do u thunk if there was a lump causing a dent the doctet would feel..it

Also if it had spread to back would they feel something them

I found it myself OP as I’ve always checked my breasts monthly. I’m absolutely fine now but knowing my medical history isn’t going to help you.

You’ll be thoroughly checked at the breast clinic.

Focus on getting help for your health anxiety.
