Hi ladies,
Breast clinic appointment last week due to finding breast lump, an elongated hard lump (bit like a fat emery board). Had previous clear mammo in April so had ultrasound which showed normal breast tissue (relieved!). The consultant explained breast lobes harden and thicken due to hormone fluctuations around menopause (I am post meno 4 years) and so what I can feel is a lobe. I'm perfectly happy with this but feel I've bypassed this fact despite going through the menopause (and all the shenanigans that involves) and having searched menopause breast changes and benign breast changes (in an attempt to self-diagnose the lump before my appointment). Most information seems to point towards fibrocystic breast changes, which aren't hardened lobes.
Sorry if rambling, just wondering if any of you going through same kind of changes.
