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

They just always say of an area feels different tp surounding tissue its a red flag..i can feel like a poppy seed...and struggling to belive it can be fat tissue seen asthough its different to the area...i understand people are gettinf frustrated with me however the peolle on here have also said they whole breast should of been scanned not my area of concern so npw worried somethjngs been missed as i can clearly feel it there....its just so hard. Do u no if an ultrasound shows a big area when scanned or jusy literaly whats below it i.e small area

It is like a shard of glass,poppy seed ect its small and hard it feels different to surrounding tissue and im sposed to belive its fatty tissue...
I no your gettjnt frustrated with me but when u can clearly feel something there its very hard. My aniety didnt cause it km not imaginaing it its there i can feel it so its not as if my anxiety has caused the issue.
I just dont no how much area the ultrasound covers coz ob u have said on here they should do the whole br3ast which they didnt so could of been missed

Thankyou appreitate your comment

Do breast lumps grow

Can i ask a questipn please if they pushed down on an area of my nipple can they see the whole nipple area underneath on the ultrasound or just that tiny bit there on

”Do breast lumps grow?” My cancerous one did. My benign one hasn’t since it was checked. I expect imaginarily cancerous lumps do whatever you want them to,

How is ir imaginary if it there and i can feel it

Does anyone no if they scan your area of concern how brourd the scanner goes over as in if they scan part of the nippl3 can they see all of nipple and deep under

They only scanned the area of mine that was an issue. The consultant thoroughly checked first then said what he thought it was before the ultrasound. He made some marks of where to scan. The man doing the ultrasound scanned that area then cross referenced with the other boob. Turns out it’s in both boobs but only the left gives me symptoms. To be fair though if I press down around my nipples I feel little “lumps” like grains of rice but tiny. I think they are just normal nodules or fatty bits. Please stop prodding yourself though your u are going to injure yourself

Are they harder than other tissue the tiny bits

Its when i press deep tho i can feel it under nipple

Imaginarily cancerous OP, not imaginary.

And what does that mean

Im sorry if i offend anyone with this but i can defently feel a tiny poppy seed lump there....its possible docters have missed this its so small...im just hoping it would of picked something up on ultrasoun but he qas so quicl doing it litetally 5 mins over the area he didnt seem interested...im goimg to have to ask for another refferal or mamogram..it wouldnt be normal tissue it feels harder that the surounding tissue its not right

If you can feel it they would have seen it I promise you. Ultrasounds pick up things you can’t feel at all. You are prodding though that’s why you can feel things. Yes they are harder. Google an image of a breast like a diagram. You will see how many nodules, ducts, fatty tissue, muscle, tendons etc that are there. I have a good handle on my health anxiety now. Honestly over the years I have diagnosed myself with all sorts of things. It started after I lost my Nan but I think going through my childhood and loosing people along the way due to different health issues contributed too. I honestly have to fight to find logic sometimes and when we have a health scare - no matter how big or small - and throw children in the mix it cause massive anxiety. However, once we have the all clear that should settle but with health anxiety it doesn’t work like that because you then question everything. If I was you I would get some help for the anxiety side and stop feeling the breast because you are going to injure yourself

You are being offensive now. Ultrasound is what happens after a mammo. If there was cancer they would have found it. There is no cancer. If there was any doubt there would be a biopsy. There was no cancer therefore no biopsy. You are too young for a mammogram hence why you were given ultrasound. It doesn’t matter what anybody, even trained specialists tell you, you will not be convinced otherwise. Your breasts contain all sorts of nodes, ducts, veins, fatty tissue. If you’d had a tumour, a cyst, a fibroadenoma it would have shown on the ultrasound. It did not. Because they’re not there. Crack on and PAY for further investigations so that you are not wasting any further NHS resources. You still won’t believe it. Neither will you address your out of control health anxiety. I really feel for your family because it must be a nightmare.

Thats not true coz i can feel it ...its not anxiety if i can feel it

So if its not a cyst ect thwn what is it coz its def there and def tiny and hard and not like surouding tissue...so it must be somwthinf

It is anxiety if you feel something completely normal and your anxiety turns it into cancer in your head. Breasts aren’t like sponges, they’re full of working parts needed to make milk, if you poke you will find lumps and bumps that’s why there’s a certain way to examine yourself that doesn’t involve poking with the end of your finger. As someone said up thread they get lots of referrals for women who have recently given birth because their breast feel different, which they will because they’re now producing milk.

It must be cancer then. Must be. Can’t be normal breast tissue. Must be the sort of cancer that doesn’t show up on ultrasounds. Must be the sort of cancer that nobody can find. Is that better? You’re on a wind up. Nobody is this obtuse. Nobody. It’s really insulting to us who have had cancer. You do realise that?

Absolutely wasting your time. OP will not seek help for her anxiety because she wants a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Im not trying to insult anyone imnjust scared like anyone would be who finds something strange...yes ive had an ultrasound but thinhs get missed...what if it was so small and so deep it was missed...and like i said he literally scanned ne for 5 mins like he wasnt interestesed i was there ...

I can promise you that is not the case. I was only in the ultrasound for around 5 mins too. They know what they are looking at. I spent more time sitting in the waiting rooms than I did with the consultant and in the ultrasound. From a health anxiety perspective I understand completely what your brain is doing right now. What you have to tell yourself is yes they do miss things and get it wrong in the tiniest amount of cases that you of course hear about in the headlines because it is so rare! Honestly if there was something there they would have seen it no matter how tiny

Thsnkyou for being so nice
