Hi I’m new here, I’m on the 2 week referral for the Breast Clinic, I have been a few times over the years and luckily nothing. Things are different this time, my doctor saw me and said she’d refer me, if I didn’t hear after 2 weeks then to contact her again. Well 2 hours after seeing her I had a call, this has never happened to me before, I have always just received a letter with an appointment, so I’m completely freaking out, my husband bless him said, well maybe they aren’t busy with boobs right now, trying to make me laugh, but because this was not something I was expecting it’s thrown me. On top of that this time instead of a lump being my primary concern my right boob is pulling to the middle, my nipple is in a different position than normal and the skin in the area looks different. I usually wear my heart on my sleeve and tell everyone what’s going on with me but this time, I can’t bring myself to tell anyone apart from my husband, the reason is I have a gut feeling it’s not good. I have researched over and over because I want to be informed just in case. My appointment is on Monday afternoon and I have decided to go in my own, only because usually you have to return for any news. I feel exhausted.
