My mother died of breast cancer and I know I am at higher risk due to my family history.
Twice in past 10 weeks I have had half a day where a part of my breast was painful if I joggled it but then it went away. Last night I woke up with severe stabbing pain in breast for a short time so went to see my Gp this afternoon.
She examined me and when she pressed on one area ( same place as it had hurt when joggled) I jumped with pain, it was excruitiating and she said she could feel a tiny pea sized hard round lump.
She said that painful lumps are often cysts but of course only tests will tell one way or other.
I am on fast track for breast clinic in next 2 weeks.
So I am having to face waiting for the tests and what they might bring.
You can imagine how I feel
