already had pre-cancer cells removed twice
hi all, im a 29 year old woman, whose had pre cancerous cells removed from my cervix twice already at the age of 22 and 26. about 8 months ago i noticed a lump in my right breast but didnt pay any heed because it moved backwards and forewards upon moving it, but the other week i was in the shower and noticed this lump has gotten alot biggeri`m kind of scared to go the doctors because of my previous history and cancer also runs in mums side of family (4 uncles have died in the past 8 yrs with cancer) i also afraid to go to my doctors in case they think im over reacting...will i just let it go for a few weeks and see if lump goes away, im aware it could just be a cyst...
any advice greatly appreciated

Hi Freespirit,
I would definitely urge you to go see your doctor as soon as poss. I was the very same when I found a lump. Thought the doc would think I was being a drama queen but as he explained to me breast cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland these days and told me I did the write thing by going to him.
Good luck ,

Hi
Please go to doctor it's the not knowing that is the worst. Best case you will be able to get on and relax. Worst case you will be doing something about it.
Wish you the very best thoughts and prayers are with you xxx

Gosh, a week now since you've been to the doc but hopefully everything went okay for you and has given you some peace of mind.... don't ever worry what a doctor will think of you, your health is more important xxxx Let us know how you get on xxxx
Hello Freespirit,
Do consult your doctor. Even it turns out to be harmless you will have peace of mind. If you you are unlucky and do need treatment, the earlier you are treated the less drastic the treatment will need to be, the less your life will be impacted and the sooner you return to a normal life.
As someone struggling with the aftermath of chemotherapy I am grateful that the treatments exist, but I truly wish that I had spotted my cancer before I needed the chemo.
My best wishes go out to you. Take care.
Hugs
Kathleen
