I 32F found a lump a few weeks ago. Went to the GP and they referred me urgently to the Breast Clinic.

The lump is small but feels fixed to my rib (the bottom of my right breast).
Because i had a breast reduction 14 years ago, the Consultant seemed sure on examination that it was just an oil cyst/fat necrosis from the surgery. I had an ultrasound and he said if it’s clearly an oil cyst then i’ll be discharged, but if it’s a fibroadenoma then a biopsy will have to be done as i’m over 28. I had the ultrasound and the Sonographer said she can’t say for definite that it’s a oil cyst as they can appear similar to breast cancer on some scans, and that she’s not comfortable doing a biopsy as it’s so deep against my chest wall.

The Consultant said he will discuss the imaging with another specialist and either discharge me if they agree it’s fat necrosis, or arrange further MRI/biopsy if they’re not sure. The Consultant said he’s not worried but not sure if this is just something they say so you don’t worry too much 😅 he said the area is extensive and seems to be further than just what can be felt.

I’ve read online that your body can absorb/get rid of fat necrosis after a few months/years, but it’s been 14 years since my surgery. Can it stay there that long?

My 19 month old has been sleep trained for many months, and usually sleeps from 7ish-7. His usual schedule is 5-5.5/5-5.5 depending on how the day is going. Nap is usually 1.5-2 hrs.

In the last few weeks, he’s been some awful night sleep, that all seem to happen on the days that he is babysat by his Nan. She has admitted that sometimes she gives him a “quick rock” to sleep (which is something that neither me, his dad or his other nan need to do). He does sometimes shout or cry when you leave the room after putting him down for his nap, but only for a couple of minutes and then goes to sleep fine, it’s just the initial leaving that upsets him. I feel that she can’t tolerate him fussing at all and this means she “has to” rock him to sleep.

Could her rocking him (for the one nap he has) be affecting night sleep? On the days that she’s had him, he goes to bed fine and then wakes up around 2am hysterical and will only calm down once i cuddle him, and he won’t go back down in his own bed so then comes into mine. He then is wide awake for a couple of hours. Does this sound linked or just a massive coincidence? In the past few weeks the 5 times he’s done this have been after a day at his Nan’s house. The only other time was when we were on holiday and he was sleeping in the same room as us and i had a cough that was keeping him awake.

We worked so hard to remove the rock and pat to sleep association, i feel so sad to think she might be creating another one. We have expressed our desire to not rock him to sleep to her previously, but obviously can’t stop her without being there.

Hi all. I 32F recently found a small lump deep into my breast tissue along my rib. I’ve got very lumpy breasts and can only feel it when laying down, as when standing up the other tissue just droops over it! It’s hard and doesn’t seem to move, feels like a tiny little limpet on my rib.

I’ve been to the GP a lot recently as my iron stores and B12 have been low, i’ve had more frequent bowel movements and have lost a stone unintentionally since November (i have started an ADHD med in Feb which is an appetite suppressant which may have contributed to some of this weight loss). So to book another GP appointment makes me so anxious as i don’t want to waste their time or them think i’m a massive hypochondriac.

I’ve also previously been seen in the Breast Clinic twice as had painful lumps, but was told one was a fibroadenoma and another one i was “imagining or it has disappeared”, and that because i was pregnant (6 weeks at the time, even though that lump appeared before pregnancy) was told that i should expect lots of breast changes during pregnancy and beyond and it’s probably normal.

😅 so again, i feel anxious to go back there.

Not sure what i expect from this point, just needed to get my anxiety out there!! Does this sound like it could be breast cancer?
