Hi all. I have just joined this forum. It may be a bit quick to do so but was hoping for some support and friendly advice. For the past few weeks ive had a swollen breast with heavy feeling and foun
d a good sized lump at the top of my breast near my underarm. I visited my local GP today who did a quick exam and immediately agreed with symptoms and said she was doing an urgent referral to breast clinic. Now my mind is in overdrive of the worst to come. I am a single mum to a daughter who is Autistic and ADHD diagnosed so I already have my hands full and the thought of having the wait for testand everything is terrible feeling at moment. I am sure so many of you have been in this position and I was just wondering how you all coped with the fear and worry of waiting and wondering. I haven't been able to eat all day for the worry and the thinking of all the what ifs. Hoping for some pick me up advice. Love to you all fighting right now . Amanda x
Hi, as Grogg says, the waiting is the worst. You are right not to Google, don't give in to any temptation as we are all unique and Google does not understand that, I kept busy, focussed on the things I could control, and that helped me to cope a bit better with the waiting. Don't hesitate to chase up if you don't hear about your appointment by the end of the week. And good luck
