I noticed a lump in my breast a week or so ago and made an appt with the gp to get it checked.
I have had several investigations of a lump in my armpit over the years that was confirmed as just extra tissue. Sometimes it is tender but I mostly don’t notice it.
this new lump is nowhere near this and the gp has referred me to urgent breast clinic for checking. I was anxious obviously but what has sent my anxiety through the roof is the referral form she sent, she has ticked the box that says I think it’s likely this patient has cancer. The lump is about 1.5x 0.5cm, firm and mobile.
worried 44 year old lady right now who’s every waking thought is consumed by me thinking it’s all over, I have cancer and now I’m feeling niggles and pain in both breasts and convinced it’s already spread. although my constant poking and prodding is probably not helping. I know you don’t have cancer until they tell you but I cannot focus on anything other than she ticked the cancer likely box.
