but I found a lump in my right BB and am a bit concerned as my Nan has had breast cancer and had to have a double mastectomy as a result of it and her mum had it as well!
I felt the left BB as well and there isn't one in that BB.
I've been stressing about it since I felt it last night!
Should I ring and make an appointment with my DR or wait until my appointment at the end of the month!
I went through something similar last week.
I can not stress strongly enough but make an appointment NOW!!!
Mine turned out to be nothing and I felt like a weight had been lifted I was that stressed about it.
Please go as soon as you can :)
Go to the Dr - will be a weight off your mind. Good Luck
My family doctor told me she will not send me to have a mammy until I'm 32 as that is 10yrs before my nan found out she had it!
I'm now seeing a doctor in my local area and am still a bit uneasy around her!
Which do i go and see?
Go to the one that you are more comfortable with and if she does not help you then go to the other one. Great advice go now and try not to stress, i know its easy for me to say as i am not in your situation :grouphug::grouphug: But i am sure everything will be fine. Thinking of you
Go now, even for your peace of mind.
Hope it turns out ok.
:hug:
I found a lump when my DD was about 6.5 months, about 2 weeks after getting married. I went to my GP who sent me for an ultrasound, which showed the lump. He offered to do a biopsy, or said i could have surgery to cut it out.
I saw a surgeon, then got scared and didnt return for another 12 months to see him ...naughty i know...:redface:
When i went back to see him, I was booked in for 2 weeks later on, had it removed and tested. He said he looked like it had the potential to be nasty, but it was all good, luckily.
I'm with *LovemyKids*, go to one Dr, then the other if you aren't happy with what they do. *hug* again, I know how scary it can feel when you initially find that lump.....hope all goes well
That's the thing, I'm scared I'm going to need it cut out then I"m going to have lop sided BBs!
I just don't know what to do! I had a full blood test done a few weeks back and it come back all clear! If something is going on in my body wouldn't my white blood cells have been up?
I am not too sure about the blood test thing but i still think that you should go to the doctor to put your mind at ease. Tackle things one day at a time!!!!!!! Dont be scared of something that might not even happen. They are only bb's and they can be fixed life is too short and precious to worry about what might happen. Goodluck :comfort:
I know it's hard, but try not to overthink the what if's.... it may just be a fluid filled lump, that isnt nasty at all, it may even be linked to your cycle/hormones.:
your white blood cells wont always be elevated. they only elevate for infection. and they can even elevate or drop adn still eb in normal range so its relative to your last test.
do you ahev a well womens clinic? we run one at my surgery where if a lump or something is found you are sent for ultrasound.
and no need to see a dr they just write the referal for us nurses who do it.
i would be seeing your DR asap just to put your mind at rest.
I rang my mum and asked what she thought and she said to go to the doctors asap as it is in the family history plus my great nan died for it!
I have an appointment at 1:45pm tomorrow with the doctor I was seeing first of in this area! it is really hard to find a female doctor you are comfortable with!
I'm stressing about my appointment now!
It would be very stressful time for you, just think good thoughts keep busy and take it as it comes. Thinking of you♥♥♥
hi sugardust
I found a lump (about 1-2cm long) in my BB when i was 24 and i was sent for an ultrasound. it was very definate and easy to feel
It turned out to be a hormonal lump and they changed my pill around and it dissapeared (weird huh!)..
so it could be something like that?
:hug: and I :pray: that this is nothing serious. Please try to concentrate on the positives - it could just be a hormonal thing as a PP mentioned (easier said then done I know) we are all here for you and thinking of you :grouphug:
hugs thinking of you, hope all is ok.
Just got back from the doctors!
She is sending me for an ultrasound of both BBs and a mammy of the right BB just as a percaution.
She could feel the lump when I was sitting but when I was laying down she couldn't feel it she could also feel a smaller lump in the same area!
So I have an appointment first thing tuesday morning for the mammy and ultrasound then will go back to my doctor on thursday for the results!
Good luck, I hope its nothing at all to worry about!!!!
I had a small lump when DS was about 6 months old - dont' know what it was, but it eventually went away, and this was after my mammy (yukko !!) and a biopsy.
So I hope you have the same outcome as me :hug:
Glad you went babe. What a long time for you to wait until Tuesday though :hug: speedy time thoughts.
I didn't want to have an appointment like this with all 3 of the kids with me this way the older 2 are in day care and I only have Lachlan to worry about!
My head is swimming with "What ifs"!
Good idea about the kids! There are heaps of other options than the most obvious and scary one. Try to put it out of your mind if you can - best not to get too far ahead of the facts. Whatever it is will be able to be managed better because you have chased it up rather than leaving things.
Hope you can manage to have a good weekend. x
I hope the wait flys by, and it's nothing to worry about.
Thinking of you.
Big squishy hugs. :hug:
xox
Well yesterday morning I went and had the ultrasound and mammy done! and now the wait will be over tomorrow morning at 930am when I go and get the results! Mum is coming with me!
now all i need to do is relax (highly unlikely!)
good luck huni....praying all is ok.
rach xxx
how did you go? hope all is well :)
I've just seen this. I hope all is okay hun. WHat a stressful time for you.
I am hoping it is just a cyst. My sister recently had one (21yrs old) and she had it removed as it was quite big and they were worried that if a cancer formed underneath it that it wouldnt be detected.
Her breasts look quite normal and you wouldnt be able to tell unless she told you.
I really hope you got some good news. Am thinking of you :hug:
Hun, I have just seen this and I hope you got your results and all is well. I have been through it before so I have some idea what you are going through. FWIW, I had to have the lump removed and I am not at all lopsided from it.
The results came back all clear, thankfully!
I am waiting to hear from the RWH Breast Specialist for an appointment with them. Weird thing is she now can't feel the little lump but can feel the big one when I"m sitting up and when I'm laying down, where as before we couldn't feel it when I laid down!
She would of said something if it was a cyst/blocked milk duct/swollen gland wouldn't she?
that's fantactic news about it coming back all clear!
Yep I'm pretty sure she would have said something.
Well I had an appointment with the breast specialist at the RWH and the did a needle Biopsy!
Waiting for results on thursday arvo!
If even one cell comes back abnormal they will take the whole lump!
How'd it go SD??
Results are all clear!
The Breast Care Nurse (The McGrath Foundation is trying to get as many of these nurses into every hospital) said she will talk to the doctor that I saw on monday and they will decided together if I need to see them again if so they will send me out an appointment if not then I do nothing but get checked every year now!
She told me alot was riding on the results of the needle Biopsy and that nothing SINISTER was found (what ever that means!!) so atm it's just a waiting game!
thank god for that....great news for you hun...love rach xoxo
great news for you
xoxo
great news at least u now know for good hey. :hug: that must have been so scary fro you.
