Hi Flossy,

A very warm welcome to our forum.  I am sorry to hear about your anxiety.  You have done the right thing by contacting your GP.  We all tend to become very scared whilst waiting to be seen. Fear of the unknown is very real. Fortunately, only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will receive a cancer diagnosis. Try to steer clear of the Internet. This isn't very useful until you know exactly what you are dealing with. It will also scare the pants off of you and serve no useful purpose.

I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi, 

thank you for taking the time to reply. I can't help but search the internet which I know isn't of any help. 
 

Hi Flossy,

If you must search, try to stick to the more respected sites like this one. There really isn't much point in googling until you know what you are dealing with. Many of the sites are poorly researched, out of date and aimed at the most spectacular cases.

Kind regards,
