Pea size lump in breast

[Julieann90]

So exhausting!
I had my appointment last Wednesday. The old lab got results back in a day. The new lab apparently is slow so I am still waiting. It is just making me insane to wait and makes my panic worse.
I need a nap!

Fingers crossed you will get them back soon. Hope you are ok today x

Thank you! How are you?
I’m now worried I have a UTI and seeing my urologist gives me mega anxiety. I can’t tell if is my anxiety or what. I’m trying to not panic. I hate this.

 

[Julieann90]

Hi, have u seen the urologist? If so how did it go? I am ok having a tad anxiety uproar, I’m sure my lump has got bigger on my nipple! Freaking out over it xx

 

[WilderMind]

I feel like my lump is larger as well. Trying to not think of it. I’m really scared. I feel like I have all these constant little things going on and it means something bad is wrong. I went and left a urine sample earlier so hoping I get those results in the next day or so. Seeing a urologist many years ago set my anxiety off and here I am.
I hope you’re hanging in there. I know how hard it can be.

 

[Julieann90]

I feel exactly like you, all the little things are adding up as one big thing! It’s frightening. I am scared
too. Can’t wait to speak to the doctor on Friday, feels like a lifetime away!!! fingers crossed you get the results back soon! Oh I see what u mean now. It’s horrible feeling isn’t it.

I just hate waiting and that makes my mind go crazy. Hoping the appointment for you on Friday goes well and you get some peace.
I hate the not knowing and the little things seem to pile on and scare me.

Yes me too, I think that’s he anxiety that gets the better of us! With my breast issue that I have now, I have somehow managed to keep my anxiety under control, I have the odd “moment” and by that I mean maybe a couple of times that’s last 5 mins or so. Nothing like what I had with my last issue. I’m trying not to worry or panic, but then I have this little voice in my head that says “your not panicking and this will be the one thing you should be worrying about and it will be sinister” then I panic then I forget about it. Every night when I get in the shower or ready to go in, that’s when it starts to worry me and I feel like I have to constantly check it. Then again before bed.
Thankyou, I hope I get some answers too. I know how you feel, the waiting the wondering, is it going to be bad, am I overthinking and it does get on top of us!

Ladies, virtual hug. HA is the worst isn’t it?
I completely understand the whole shower and examine every part of the body thing. Can you believe showering now triggers my anxiety? Because it’s the chance I have to examine myself. Also, using the restroom. Because nobody is around and it’s my chance. Everyday is a challenge.

I say that EXACT thing to myself with every HA episode if it leaves my mind and I feel normal for a bit. Like my anxiety is teasing me that I should be sitting and worrying and this is the ones that’s going to catch me off guard

Thankyou! Virtual hug right back! I completely agree with u! Showering is the biggest trigger cos it does give you the biggest opportunity to check your body! Daily! It’s horrible, I’m not feeling so great this morning the anxiety is hitting slightly harder about this lump!

I am so glad I am not alone in this thought! I am really worried this morning about this lump! Can’t help but think the worst, the fact it’s painless and I’m sure it’s hard it’s frightening me! I keep looking at my kids wondering if I will see them grow up it breaks my heart!

Just spent some time consulting dr google... 2 things that have freaked me out and set off heart palpitations...

1) breast cancer typically affects women/men over the ages of 40, but isn’t impossible in younger people... those that are younger tend to be diagnosed with a more aggressive cancer brilliant thanks!
2) breast cancer lumps are more common under the nipple... yep well done again!!

what the hell! My armpits are constantly itching and sweating too! I’m terrified

Do you have any nipple discharge

No I don’t have nipple discharge, but I do still have crusting my each end of my piercing!

Just got out the shower, tried my hardest not to look or feel the whole time I was in there. Gave in, felt it, I’m sure the lump has moved from the right side of the areola to the top ish of the areola and I’m pretty sure it’s got bigger, so yep now I’m freaking out even more! Phone appointment tomorrow, but that’s not going to tell me
Anything really is it?! Feeling quite scared!

When you say a lump, is it above the skin or underneath the skin.
Also, if you could compare it to a size - what size would it be? A pea, marble, etc.
Try grabbing that breast and squeezing it and see if any discharge comes out.

It’s underneath the skin, I’m not sure if I can feel two! Or if it’s one moving around all the time. One position I feel it it’s like a pea and then another time I feel it it’s like a marble/small grape! Again completely painless! I can push on it really hard and it doesn’t even make me flinch!
nope no discharge and the actually nipple looks ok, I would say anyway. Just feels a tad sore/tender. On the areola are little spots but I have had them mostof my life aswellas on the other nipple too! I’m just so scared!!

the spots on your nipple are normal.
it could just be a cyst

I can’t tell myself that! I’m finding myself back on the cancer chat forums, hoping to find good positive stories, I’m clearly not going to get them from there, the odd one. It terrifies me that I’m going to die and my children won’t have a mum anymore, I am holding back the tears.
