Hi! I'm writing here as recently been referred to cancer boobie clinic again! Always came back clear but this time I'm worried!

I have no one in my family to talk roo. My nearly 18 year old daughter was at the drs app with me. I wouldn't of taken her along if I had known the Dr was going to ask about things like my breasts. Yes they've been lumpy a while. Bit I've gotten on with it as don't want to hassle anyone else!

But my mind is going crazy. I have a 4 year old o have to stay focused for! But my mental health is going down! 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I know how worrying it can be when you have a referral.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have been where you are now.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you are clear again.

    ((hugs))
