Hi 

I feel I need to write down my feelings somewhere safe, relatable and away from my family (for now) so thought I would start here.

I went for a check at the doctors after accidentally coming across a lump in my breast. The next minute I find myself with Breast Cancer Unit appointment paperwork in my hand, waiting for an urgent referral to Hospital for an Ultrasound after confirming a 2-3cm lump was present. 

One minute I am ok and busy the next I could sit and cry for hours, I feel physically sick. I am desperate to keep this from my children (my eldest being 8) especially seeing as I haven't had an official test yet and maybe upset by nothing. I feel I have succumbed to something I might not actually have - I hope that makes sense? 

I don't really know what I'm expecting from writing this but I suppose what I'm trying to say is Hi from a very weak feeling 29 year old mother of 3. 

Love to everyone on this platform
