Hi all. I've been reading a few of the similar situations of some of you ladies and I'm beginning to see patterns in my own symptoms.

My history:

I'm 30

I had a biopsy of a lump at 17 it was a fibroadenoma

I came off the pill and it disappeared

I had a biopsy of a lump at 21 it was a fibroadenoma again.

I came off the pill again

I developed endometriosis from not being on the pill for 4 years

I lost my left ovary due to endometriosis damage and I had to have a marina coil fitted to fight the endometriosis


Current situation:

I found a pea sized movable lump in my breast 5 months ago and the doctors told me not to worry and come back if the size changes etc.

Three days ago I noticed it had grown to the size of a marble and was no longer moveable. It's now attached to just between my armpit and breast.

The gynaecologist couldn't find it on ultrasound but said it was clearly palpable. He referred me to hospital to have cancer testing and diagnosis.

I can't get an appointment till May. I'm now trying to get my doctor to escalate it.

I've noticed today that the lump is bigger that it was even yesterday and a lot bigger than three days ago.

I'm due to start my period in about a week, however I'm noticing the signs of starting my period, facial spots, tender breasts, craving sweets.

I'm a little scared to be honest. But at the same time the timing of this in my cycle and the fact I feel it's growing, kind of makes me think it's going to be a cyst. But it's overwhelming just how demotivating and soul destroying this who process is. I've called my doctor three times today for this escalation and was told I'd get a callback, but no one did. I'm not sure what my chances of this being "cancer" are and I'm not even sure if I should be waiting till May for these tests. It doesn't help that I'm a Brit living in Germany with poorly German speaking skills. I don't know what to do
