Hello

I know how you feel hun and its not nice! I went for my 3 yearly mammo 4 weeks ago, got call saying I needed to go back for another one cos xray was blurred??? of course I went into meltdown! but everything was fine, my friend whose only 38 found 2 big lumps in her breast and they said it was breast tissue.....and it was so please try not to worry, I know its difficult but they are sending you for a mammo just to be certain how old are you? Do you go to a gym a lot? why Im asking about the gym is bcos I used to go and lift quite heavy weights, so my r/hand breast got quite "bulky"...I was in my early 40's and they sent me for a mammo for that....again just breast tissue xxxx

As we get older we get changes with our boobs which are nothing sinister - so I would try to put the worry aside until you get your mammo done and the results are through.

Hey hon, I have large boobies too and as we get older they tend to get less dense and we become even more aware of the lumps and bumps - for years I have had one that feels lumpy when I am walking around and then cannot feel a thing when I lie down - I had a mammo last August and all was clear

Try to keep calm and good luck with the appointment - my results were posted to me within a week but I think it depends on different health authorities as to how speedy they are.
