Ultrasound due to lumps

Jean837

I am a couple years shy of 40.

A few months ago I begin experiencing breast pain. It seemed cyclical so I just took note. It always went away after my period.

At some point I also noticed a small lump/thickning above my left breast. I get occasional acne cysts, so again just took note.

I then found a lump in my outer right breast. This lump is movable and squishy. I waited one cycle and went to my gp. I decided to then set up an appointment with a cancer center for diognostic screening.

So my one small lump/thickning above my left breast now feels like a small, smooth, hard lump. The breast pain seems like it comes and goes and is not cyclical, but gets worse before my period. The squishy lump is the same. I get lumpy before my period. I also overall feel lumpy, bumpy, and have areas of lumps and "ridges".

After waiting about a month in a half for my diognostic appointment I finally have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow! I am relieved to finally address the issue, but freaked out all at the same time. I am most concerned about the hard lump above my left breast. I also wish i had gone in sooner. (Between me waiting in the beginning, getting in with my primary, and then waiting for my diognostic test about 6 months has passed, ugh) Hindsight 20/20.

I found this sight and have been reading up and decided to finally post! It is nice to have a spot were people have a common angst. (Makes yours feel a little less freakish) The waiting is so hard! And the not knowing!

No matter what I trust Gods got it!
