Hi
I feel like a bit of a fraud, but i have been coming here over the past few weeks to find some sort of comfort and solice.
I found a lump mid June and finally have my first clinic appt on Monday 31st.....quite a wait here at ayrshire and arran nhs...so have been steadily more anxious.
As my husband says, until i am told i have something wrong, then there is nothing wrong.
But i can feel my right breast isn't right. I can feel it when i dress, undress, shower, run upstairs. The doctor also said he could feel nodules in my left breast.
I am sure as the odds are that everything will be fine but there is always that niggle.
So i come here, i read all that you are going through and find comfort in the fact that should i hear the worse, that it doesnt mean what we all assume comes with the C word. So so many strong courageous women on here with supportive famiies helping. I hope if my path is the same, that i will be just as strong.
Is there anyone who has been to ayrand arran clinic that can advise what to expect? As i know each nhs region is different.
Thanks for reading xxx
