breast lumps

hi all, I'm new. 

I found a lump on my right breast 2 years ago. I had a biopsy done but never found out the results ( doctor told me if there wasn't anything wrong he wouldn't contact me). recently I noticed the lump had gotten bigger so I went and saw a doctor ( my doctor was on leave) and this female doctor told me she could not feel anything and I was just scaring myself. after leaving that appointment I still didn't feel right, so I got a second opinion, this time the new doctor didn't examine me properly ( tried to feel the lump with my bra on) but she told me to go and get an ultrasound done. I did so yesterday and instead of finding one lump they have found a few, I have the ultersound images and she has marked out my axilla lymph nodes. the lady who did my ultrasound didn't say too much compared to the first one I had on my breast 2 years ago. I'm a little worried, anyone have any advice? regards Hannah.

  • Hannahjane, Im glad you have a doctor to let you know the results of the ultrasound, but I would honestly get a referral after that to a Breast Surgeon for clear and concise understanding of it all, its the only peace of mind you will find. Hugs Melinda xo
  • Hi Hannahjane, my surgeon said she always trusts a woman's intuition so don't let anyone fob you off if you don't feel right. I felt something was wrong before my diagnosis but couldn't pinpoint it. The radiologist said my lump wasn't a cancer & I could opt out of a biopsy but my professor wanted me to have it & thank goodness I did. The problem was the cancer was hiding behind dense tissue. Hopefully all will be good for you!
  • If you still don't get any satisfaction go to breast screen and get them to do a mammogram! All the best - let us know how you get on.

  • thank you everyone for replying xx

    I have a doctors appointment on Thursday to have a look at my ultrasound, fingers crossed xx

  • Experts. NOW! As many as you can find. Do not muck around with this stuff.
    I believe that the little bell that rings in our head when we think something is wrong is the last vestige
     of our primitive selves. Listen to it.
    This site is littered with women who left things too late. Do not be one of them. If you are proven to be a drama queen who has blown everything out of proportion, you will survive. If you puddle about you may not.

  • Gosh ...at least you got a scan. Sounds like you may well need a referral to a specialist. No other advise other than if not happy keep getting other opionions. It's your health after all. Let us know how your follow up appointment goes. Kath x
