Am new here, saying hello. Am currently feeling quite anxious, scared about what is happening with this health scare. I have pain and tenderness over my left breast. I have had recent review with GP and been sent to local breast unit for review. Not sure what to expect. 

  • Dear  Sorry to hear you are having concerns but you’ve reached out for help and reassurance which is an important step.

     This link on this site will help give you a bit more information and when you get your breast screen appointment through, I found it helpful to go along on the day with a fiend for support and company as you can be there a couple of hours or so it you have a 2 week fast track referral to a breast clinic.

  • Hello SM34A

     I hope you find the breast care team to be as lovely as they were for me. I can only go by my experience but hope yours will be similar , from the care point of view I mean.

    They will know you are anxious- and treat you accordingly. 

    Good luck x
