    A little scared....

    I did a breast check self exam last night and found sizeable lumps. (2-3) (probably a bit bigger than a pea) in one breast and little ones in the other.

    I'm so scared. Dh felt them and said they are definitely there. My BBs have constantly hurt a bit more right before af. They never usually did.

    Off to the doc?!?

    I'm scared.

    That does sound very scary. Good luck at the Drs.
    I too found lumps in my breasts a few years ago, it turned out that they just went lumpy from breastfeeding and was nothing to worry about.

    Get them checked by a dr hun and try not to panic too much (I know, easier said than done)

    My boobs are really lumpy normally, and when dr's have done exams they have always commented. How often do you do self exams? Are you due for AF?

    I've just had af. They say to check them after af has been!

    Maybe it's just hormones.

    I doubt it's from breastdeeding. After I had zach (my little angel baby) they gave me tablets to dry my milk up. It never properly came in. So that was nearly 4 years ago.

    I am hoping it's just hormones.... Maybe im doing the bse at the wrong time.

    This is a scary time for you. I know how much waiting for some answers can be so hard.

    About 5 years ago I was lying in bed and just happened to feel a lump when scratching my left breast. Oh boy did my heart skip a beat then. Just like yours would have. I went to my Dr, had a mammogram (ouch) and then an ultrasound. The results were inconclusive and due to the fact there was no pain associated with the lumps they sent me for a fine needle biopsy (ouch again). Thankfully about 5 days later I got good news. It was a fibroadanoma, non cancerous tumor. I had the choice of getting it removed or leaving it. Decided to leave it there because they can not become cancerous.

    Good luck today at the Dr's. I hope that you get some answers soon.

    I hope that you get good news from your doc about it - you must be terrified of that appointment.

    I have never had any lumps but a get very sore boobs before and after af, I guess its from my hormones adjusting.

    All I can suggest is that you keep breathing and take every minute as it comes - good luck!! I will be thinking of you!!

    It is very scary!! I had to have an ultrasound on a lump in one of my boobs but it nothing to worry about.. The stress leading up to it made me really sick though!!!

    Just take one step at a time. Try not to think too far ahead.. Remember you are strong and courageous!

    Good luck chick... Xox

    About 5 years ago my dr found a tiny lump in one of my breasts (I got her to do a breast check for me) - I had to go and have an ultrasound to check it out.
    I must say, the time between the find and the ultrasound results was the most nerve-wracking of my life. It was all I could think of.
    Thank God, it/they (3 of them, as it turned out) were just tiny cysts that were absolutely nothing.
    I truly hope that it's the same result for you too

    Melzi, you are absolutely doing the right thing going to the dr to get these lumps checked out - any breast changes need to be checked to rule out breast cancer. But try not to be too scared, the vast majority of lumps etc that are checked out turn out to be normal, non cancerous things like cysts. Your doctor should order a scan at the very least, hopefully the results will come back quickly as an ALL CLEAR.

    Dr wants a biopsy. They don't look good scans are booked in also for tomorrow morning but biopsy will go ahead...

    Cancer runs in my family.... And I've had skin cancer removed on my forehead 3 years ago.

    I don't want to do this...

    Mrs bexie did they do the biopsy first? They told me they are going to do the biopsy first? Then u/s wouldn't it be sensible doing it the other way.

    I actually feel sick to my stomach. Stressing me out.

    I just wanna cry but I know there are people who are doing a lot worse than me.

    Suck it up melzi you'll be fine!
