Hi,
I went to the GP with 2 pea sized lumps in my armpit on Friday. Had a breast exam and she said my left boob was ‘lumpy’ and I can still hand express (what I thought was) milk from both boobs a few years after ending breastfeeding. Should have gone sooner but life is busy….
That was Friday, it’s now Sunday of the longest weekend of my life!
I’ve convinced myself it’s bad news. My child beat cancer aged 2 and has recently had some trauma counselling based around death and coping with anxiety - I’m not worried for me but for them and how they will cope with things.
Praying my appointment comes through tomorrow and it’s not too much longer to wait.
Not much other point to this post other than to voice my mixed up emotions right now, I’ve been bloody awful to be around this weekend :(
Hi Kir88
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you found some lumps and are worried that it is cancer. What you are feeling is perfectly understandable. Most lumps turn out to be benign but if it does turn out to be cancer know that breast cancer is very treatable and you medical team will all they can to make sure you get better.
Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment.
Best wishes
