Finding The Lump
Updated: Jun 16, 2022
25th September 2021, the anxiety started and little did I know it was only going to get worse. I came across the lump (who my mum refers to as ‘Lenny’ - you need a sense of humor with this stuff) at the bottom of my right breast that felt soft and round almost the size of a 50p with no pain. I didn't regularly check my breasts (please please do this!) and had the ignorance that I was too young and it was extremely unlikely to be me. That narrow 5% chance is now me.
First positive- I found this lump without actively checking and acted on it with a GP appointment arranged for the 1st October.
