I have had a long History of lumps in breasts. Severe enough for being under the famous Marsden Hospital in Sutton Surrey for over 10 years.
Now tonight out of the blue found a huge lump…so have emailed my Doctor hoping for an early mammogram. Just more bothersome as My Sister and Daughter has had Breast Cancer.
Fine if you feel uncomfortable with this Thread but certainly good for highlighting it…

It’s great that you are getting a mammogram. Hopefully nothing to worry about but best to get it checked.

I am actually feeling quite positive…as not new to me.

Hi Di, I am sorry to hear that. It’s always good to go in and have it assessed (just in case)
Self examination is crucial. Also, I usually complete a mammogram once every two years. Not very pleasant but very necessary.
Thank you for your courage. This thread is needed since more awareness needs to be created on this topic.
Sending you a big hug.

Dianne, I hope you get it sorted out and its not anything to worry about.
I had my first check up recently and it was awful. Was in pain for over a week afterwards.

Diane first let me say that I hope everything is Ok & it isn’t cancer, but I would also like to thank you for reminding people to get lumps checked!
If people didn’t encourage us to to act quickly some tend to think
" It won’t be cancer" , but as 50% of the population now get some form of cancer acting fast can save many more lives!

I hope its all OK Dianne…mental attitude helps so much in these situations and you seem very optimistic…go girl 
Thanks for writing up. It is important to highlight Breast Cancer, with my past experiences you would think that I would get check more often. But I have not.
We get the reminder to go and have a mammogram yearly here and I have never been…almost then Covid19, was a simple get out.
So I just need to get an appointment now. Of course it is worrying, but I am not in any panic, just will keep busy as usual.

that all is well for you Dianne but you really should have been going for your check ups considering your family history.
And, chaps, don’t forget, it’s not just ladies that can develop breast cancer so, check yourself out next time you shower and check your testicles too while you’re at it.
