I am no expert of course, but you say the lump moves around and that is a good sign, I know that lumps are more likely to be benign if they move. But I had a firm lump that was also benign!:bighug1:

I know it's easier said than done but you must try not to worry. Most breast issues turn out to be harmless. I have very lumpy breasts and it's better to get these things looked at - which you've done.

I had to go to the breast clinic last summer. If you want to chat private message me x

Hi Bexy

Try not to worry I had a breast lump after my son was born and the doctor felt it and the first thing she said was "it's moveable thats a good sign".

I was also told to leave it until after I'd had a period but being someone with HA I couldn't went back and saw another doctor who instantly said it was nothing but referred me to the breast clinic because I was in such a state, it turned out to be an enlarged milk duct.

A friend of mine constantly gets lumps in her breast and is up at the clinic so much she doesn't even have to get referred by the GP she just goes straight there.

All her lumps are moveable but some of them can get quite big, I think they are called Firbrodemas?? or something like that.

Anyway it is really common and if the doctor was concerned they would refer you without hesitation.

The doctor told me that they can usually tell just by feeling if lump is worrisome apparently lumps so worry about feel distinctivley different.

Try not to worry you are very young and I'm sure it's something completely innocent xx
