22nd February 2010 - GP confirms the lump

Less than one minute read time.

The first day that the GP was open once I was back from Norway I rang up and was given an emergency appointment and able to see my GP personally straight away.

After a bit of a telling off for not having let her know that I had been refused for the MRI scan and UKFOSS trial so she could have tried pushing it further on my behalf, she confirmed the lump and put me on a 2 week referral which she told me is consistent with the NICE guidelines if cancer is suspected.

Due to her awareness of my family history and checks for lumps in the past (all benign breast tissue) she was very straightforward with me about the fact that the lump could be cancer; but it might not be - we would have to wait and see.
