  • Hello Joanna and thanks for posting

    I'm sorry you are feeling worried about the recent symptoms you have been experiencing.

    It's important to get any new or persistent symptoms checked out by your GP or breast care team. It might be nothing serious but it's best to get checked out just to be sure.

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you want to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene

    Hi, I had BC 3 years ago, successfully managed.    I recently noticed a lump on my neck on the opposite side.    It's been a worrying time, but following a GP appointment, scans and appointments to investigate have been swift, and staff caring.  They are thoroughly checking things, it may or may not be cancer again, but for me this is better than worrying about it all. Please speak to your GP?   Good luck!
