Hi,

Just want a little reassurance really. I found a small lump on my left breast near my armpit about a month ago. I thought I didn't want to waste the GP's time so kept leaving it until the unknown was making me more anxious. I went through this in July but with an abnormal cervical screening and then the 2 week referral. Luckily it was just abnormal changes and needs to be checked every year, but the wait to know of 6 weeks from biopsies killed me.

The GP didn't examine my breasts as in such and didn't even get me to take my bra off. Just referred me because my 2 second cousins got breast cancer in their 20's. They aren't even close relatives so not sure I get the GP.

I have my one stop clinic next week but don't want to waste their time. At first I thought a spot because you can see ot from the outside and its red at times but you can feel it deeper in the skin and it's hard. It hasn't changed in 4 weeks so definitely not a spot. I can feel and see it in any position sitting up, laying down etc. Has anyone elses lump been like this? 

I've also consulted Google and I know wrong thing to do. This puckering on breasts what exactly is it like? I have well I thought they were stretch Mark's but they aren't quite the same and havent long appeared. Also I have really small breasts so they havent stretched in bigger form anyway lol. I feel like I'm just seeing things that aren't there now. 1 really dark vein popped out on the other breast.

Sorry for the long post xx
