As Cinds said, it's the lumps that don't necessarily cause any pain that are the ones to look for.  However, I would also say that you usually get another symptom that you would not necessarily link to it being cancer.  For instance, when my lump was found, I had a persistent cough but as I smoked (quite heavily) at the time, I put it down to that.  It turned out that was an indicator something was wrong.

 

Do you remember knocking your  ? the first step is seeing your doctor and getting them to take you seriously - mine told me I was being silly as I was 33 at the time and he thought I was too young to get breast cancer even though my mother had died of it 

 

Make sure he/she sends you to a consultant at the hospital because I wouldn't take what a GP says as gospel to be honest and it won't hurt to have it checked for peace of mind  

I'd wholeheartedly agree with that.

 

And Pengy and Slim  for your mums. Slim - I'm not surprised you're terrified -  it's a normal reaction - just take heart that you're doing exactly the right thing in getting it sorted at the earliest opportunity.  Good luck for tomorrow
