I then had a phone call just after Christmas to tell me that they found nothing in the needle aspirate but they do want to see me for a follow up as routine.
I have my follow up in a couple of weeks and although I shouldnt be worried I still have this stupid fear in the back of my mind that something isnt quite right. Now when I press on top of my left breast it feels like there is a bruise inside there but I cannot feel a lump. It feels like there is something going on inside - maybe it is just this lump that I had causing the bruising pain (the pain does seem to be coming from near that area) - it has been like this for a few weeks now and I am not getting the same thing on the other side. Does anyone have experience of cysts or lumps that were nothing to worry about - do they cause this sort of pain (like a bruised feeling)? I do read a lot on this forum about people having pain in their left breast only - it does appear to be a common thing.
I know I should be grateful that I got the all clear which I am and was so happy about at the time but since I had this pain my mind is working overtime again. I so wish that they would give mammograms to everyone then we could stop worrying for a little while at least!
