    Just wanted to wish you luck with your appointment tomorrow. I hope it turns out to be nothing but good on you for getting it checked anyway. Better safe than sorry.

    I had a lump in my breast not so long ago and it turned out to be a swollen gland as I had been sick with the flu. There are lots of other explanations and hopefully it is one of those. All the best

    Thanks gals - I really appreciate the support. I am not really worried about it - which is strange for me. I seriously doubt anything will come of it - or even if the dr will even find it.

    Just updating - went and saw the dr and she did find a ridge in the breast but thinks it is just from BF. We are going to have an US on the 30th but it all sounds very normal. So thank you for your thoughts.

    Dr's would much prefer to check and find nothing, than have to tell a young Mum she has cancer. Always get them checked cause it will be the one that you 'ignore' that will be something wrong..When I was in my early 20's I was forever getting lumps, they were all nothing, but got each one checked jic..

    Sara please insist on a mammogram if the US detects nothing. They will tell you your breast tissue is too dense but in fact they do diagnostic mamm's all the time on younger women. I had several U/S (which showed absolutely nothing at all, even when my tumour was well over 7cm big) but when I finally had the mamm (after being told multiple times it would show nothing because I'm too young) it lit up like a fairground. Lucky for me it's still early enough for it not to have turned nasty.
