I have recently noticed a breast lump and saw my gp straight away who felt the lump and also noticed discoloration and dumpling on my breast. I am awaiting an emergency appointment and I'm totally panicking because I think I also have lump under my arm pit!! . Its hard not to Google but I'm scared stiff though I actually haven't got 100%.diagnosis yet!!
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's natural to turn to Google when we want to find things out but usually things we find on Google only scare us further so my advice would be to stay away from Google and ask any questions you have in this community.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
