I’m putting this out to a bunch of strangers because I want to say it but don’t want to worry friends and family.

I’ve found a lump in my left breast. I’m scared. I know it’s more likely nothing but I’m still scared. Hoping to get to the drs tomorrow morning

A friend of mine found a lump in her breast which turned out to be benign, down to hormone changes apparently. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know x

Always good to get these things checked out. I did when I found one and mine too was down to hormones.

Try not to worry about.

Good on you for checking yourself too.

Doctors are pretty good at super fast referrals now. Many send you to a clinic to which you stay until you have an answer the same day. Have a blood test, if no warning signs in that blood, off you go home. No bad news. If the blood test shows a possibility, off you go for another test. If that comes clear, off you go home. If some concerns, another test....and so on....until you have a diagnosis or all clear

Hannah is a breast cancer survivor. Most people pull through these days. Most lumps are benign and the majority of women are cured. Best wishes from us. Please let us know what the results are.

You're doing the right thing. Deep breaths. Try to focus on the things you need to do. The fear is reasonable, and I hear you, but try to go through the process first before you give it as much airtime as you want to.

Best of luck, I know it’s scary but the clinics are very good and great at putting your mind at rest whatever the treatment required. Most lumps are benign. X

My advice is get it looked at sooner rather than later, the NHS is very very good, I can vouch for that, I have first hand experience having lost my wife to cancer, contributed from a lump in the breast she ignored for too long thru fear of the unknown...... like you say it’s probably nothing, but better to be safe than sorry x

A few years back I found a lump in the breast because it was feeling uncomfortable and almost hurting when bra touched the area. Panicked and run to the doctors. Turned out to be just a big spot coming out from deeper tissue. Doc gave some antibiotics and that was it.

A year or so later found another lump in another breast. Not sensitive, just a lump. Again had it checked by doctors and they said it was only a "fat lump" that you can get anywhere on the body.

Try not to worry about it too much and fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

Worrying wont change the outcome. All it will do is make things worse.

Try not to worry a gp can't tell you anything hence the referral.

You'll probably have a mammogram, they are uncomfortable rather than painful imo.

The xrays will be looked at ny a consultant and they may have a feeling. They go over family history too.

I have found many lumps over the years now, turns out I have fatty breasts and it's nothing to worry about.

All the best op x
