Hi there everyone, you all seem so very lovely here.
I am at the very start, I found a hard lump about the size of large pea in my right breast 2 days ago and I am having to wait until tomorrow and the GP being open to get my first referral appointment.
I am so scared, my Mum passed away from lung and brain cancer and I left work to look after her. She was so very brave and now I just seem to be in a holding pattern, not knowing.Its a bit like being a robot, carrying on numbly. If I just knew what I was dealing with.
It's the waiting that is the worst part. Make sure you ask for an out of hours appointment if you can't get a regular appointment. And don't be a stranger on here xx
Good idea, I hadn’t thought of that, I hate making a fuss and usually a get on and doer but this has kinda side swiped me!
Cancer scare always does this to people, we've all been through this and it sucks! Like F1 petrolhead said, the waiting is definitely the worst! I was so anxious while waiting, that I had the feeling I’ll go crazy, but once you know, believe it or not, things will get easier! Big hug, xx
