Hello. I am awaiting a hospital appointment
my reason for joining this group is because I am terrified of what the results will be on the 26th January.
I found a lump on my right breast on New Year’s Eve and contacted my doctor on 4th January was seen that day and was red flagged to hospital because of the lump and also my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39 I have just turned 41 and I am so scared in case the results are not good. I have had a what we thought was a frozen shoulder for months and have recently found out that my mum also had this before she found a lump. I am trying to be positive but finding it so difficult as it is constantly on my mind and I am seeing it everywhere I go. I would just like to know other people’s experiences of this if possible
Hi and a second warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your investigations.
A possible cancer diagnosis brings confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community is organised into support groups so you may want to start by joining our supportive Breast cancers and Breast cancer for the under-50s groups as this is the places where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.

It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listing ear.
