Lump on breast

Last reply: 09 September 2023 19:27

Hi all, delighted to have found this forum. I found a large lump in my left breast a few weeks ago. My doc was very concerned and I had an urgent referral to Vincent’s. I had an appt with the consultant yest who said he thinks it’s a cyst but I still need to have a mammogram & ultrasound in a few weeks. The waiting now is killing me. Am I wrong to be worried as the consultant didn’t seem to be? Or should I just prepare myself in case it is serious. I am so tired with the last year, heavy legs full of fluid. Started HRT but it isn’t helping with the tiredness.

Hi Sue

Welcome to the online community. We all in this together. I was diagnosed with stomach cancer recently and waiting to see the oncologist.

Getting clued up on the type of cancer you have and the help and support from the Irish Cancer Society makes me feel less afraid of the future.
Best wishes
Richard
