New lump & referred to clinic

Hello,welcome to the site. I hope you get your appointment through quickly so you can get some answers. Do you have a friend or college you could speak to if you don't want to worry your family? Or maybe the breast care nurse from clinic before you see the doctor. It's always worrying to find a lump but I've been on this sight for a year and seen lots of ladies get good news. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Hi ,

I hope your appointment comes through very quickly and you get answers to your understandable concerns.I presume that you will know the routine at the clinic so I won't go into it. You are almost certainly going to worry so I won't suggest you don't; but would ask that you don't consult Dr Google as he is often out of date and possibly just plain wrong . Maybe you can speak to your BCN still or one of the Macmillan nurses can help on the phone.

I am sure others will be along to help and of course offer better advice than I can .Sending big but gentle hugs xx

Thank you for taking the time to reply ladies, I appreciate it.  I hadn't thought about contacting one of the BCN's so thank you for the suggestion.

I think it is best kept to myself for the moment and it's not something I would talk to a colleague about.

I was 47 when I was first diagnosed with BC and I had my final surveillance mammogram last year so to find a lump in the other breast is very upsetting and scary.  I have confidence, but I also know it can go the other way, so my thinking is all over the place at the moment.

Thanks for your words of support ♡

I really hope your checks went okay xx
