Hi everyone
I feel like I shouldn’t even be posting here as I’ve not been diagnosed but went the my gp last Tuesday. I found a lump before December and just kept putting it off going to check it checked (too scared) anyway it’s still there so went last week. Doctor said it’s a 10cm lump from my nipple to the outer quadrant, which seems huge to me! Anyway she sent me for a 2 week referral, but after ringing the breast clinic they said that isn’t a thing anymore and it’s 28 days. She told me that they was only sorting apportionments for referrals from the 13th march I was referred on the 24th so it’s going to be a bit of a wait before I hear when my appointment is!
im absolutely petrified! I’ve fully convinced myself it’s cancer as I don’t want to go to the appointment thinking it isn’t then getting told the worst!
I think my minds playing tricks on me now since my appointment but my breast aches now which it’s never done! And I do now have a small pea sized lump on the end of the lump that’s already there!
it only hurts when my children like lay on it and dig there elbows into my boob as kids do
but I’m just so scared!
you’re all an inspiration ️
Hi. I’m in the same boat but awaiting biopsy results, I’m absolutely petrified. I’ve been here before (had bc in my left breast) and I’m just so scared.
I’m sorry I can’t be much help to reassure you but just wanted to let you know you are not alone xx
