I'm new to the group, a couple of weeks ago I found a lump in my breast and thought nothing of it. I've always had lumps that have been cysts.
I thought I best go get it checked to be on the safe side the Doctor has found 2 more lumps after examination with one been under my armpit.
Have had the call and appointment booked for next Tuesday, I have been the clinic before but have awaited a letter a week later for the appointment the following week. Maybe overthinking it but didn't expect a call so soon and to be booked in so quickly.
Now I'm scared, thinking the worst.
Hi Mommyofboys and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It's natural to fear the worst when you've found something and your doctor refers you but these new lumps might not be cancerous just like your previous ones.
The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences.
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 wouldn't read anything into the speed with which you've got an appointment as appointments become available all the time. For example, I got a letter a couple of weeks ago to attend a mammogram. This was a mistake and the person I spoke to at the hospital said they'd cancel it.
On Monday I got a reminder text to attend tomorrow. The appointment hadn't been cancelled. Obviously I phoned up and the appointment has now been cancelled, but this appointment will now have been given to the next person on the list who might, like you, be wondering why they've got an appointment so quickly but it's just because one has become available.
I hope that your lumps turn out to be cysts as before.

Thank you 
Hi Sb31 and a warm welcome to the community to you as well.
I'm sorry to read that like Mommyofboys you're also waiting to be seen by the breast clinic.
Can I point you in the same direction as Mommyofboys, ie the breast cancer forum as you'll get lots of support there.
keeping everything crossed for you.
