Hey! I’ve just joined as I cannot cope anymore with the waiting and worrying. My auntie died of breast cancer before she was 40! I’m 39. I’ve recently become very unwell with flu like symptoms and have found a solid uncomfortable lump in my breast. I am due to see the dr next Friday but it’s driving me insane waiting. I guess I just needed somewhere to vent. Sorry
Hey lovely, I couldn't go past your post and not comment. How are you doing? What was the outcome of the appointment. I hope you've been referred to further investigations. It's worth remembering that medicine has gone leaps and bounds since your aunties time. I'm sorry she died so young. Even if it's breast cancer, your outlook is so much better. You're in really good hands!
