I know I’m being dramatic - I’ve had a lump for a while, but it seems to have got bigger and irritating me now. Booked a screening through my private health so luckily being seen Monday, yes I’ve been avoiding it and now I’ve done it, all of the worry about it is pouring out.

I’m only 36, generally lumpy anyway in my breasts which is one of the main reasons I didn’t get checked sooner but I have two young children and can’t stop thinking the worst. It can’t be cancer right? Or at least it’s very unlikely? I’m massively being a hyperchrondiac aren’t I and should give my head a wobble?

The figure I've read seems to be 90% of breast lumps turn out to be non-cancerous.

I need talking to too for this same reason. How have you got on?

Most lumps aren’t cancer, but it’s good you’re being proactive about your health.
