Hello…
I’m just back from the GP after finding a marble sized lump on my right breast. I was hoping for some reassurance from her but she looked very concerned and said she’d do an urgent referral. I know this is procedure for any new lump, but I’m still in panic mode.
just wanted to say hi really.
I’ve not told a soul about this other than my GP. My family has had some horrible news this week about my nephew relapsing and I don’t want to add to it without knowing.
my husband will panic and make me worry more.
feeling alone and scared.
Hi, hopefully you will get seen quickly and you will know what you are dealing with. They do a consultation, mammogram, ultrasound and a further consultation at your first appointment and can usually give a pretty good indication there and then. I only told my partner and my brother at first and no one else until after my surgery. Even work didn't know until my 2nd surgery. My sick notes were very vague lol. I can say though that everyone involved was amazing and I got great care. I hope you find out pretty soon, one way or another, and fingers crossed it is ok. There is a lot of support on here, so reach out xx
