Urgent referral - suspect breast cancer

Absolutely out of my mind.

Had an odd feeling in right boob for couple of months.  Not painful just odd/hard like.  Felt awkward laying in bed.  

Just been to GP he has found lumpy nodules in inferior outer quadrant.  on urgent referral to rule out BC.  Mum has had BC.  Cant help worrying. ive had tingling and numbness in right arm and fingers too and pain in chest but he says not connected.  Just read my referral letter and he has put suspects cancer.

Absolutely at my wits end.

Anyone else had the same?

  • By writing cancer it will get you seen quicker on the two week pathway. I wouldn't take cancer as a given.  Being extremely worried can give you all sorts of weird symptoms, the mind loves playing tricks to worry us more. Even if it is, the treatment is so much better now. Been there, done that and now out the other side. Once you know where you stand you will handle it better. The wait is the most terrible thing. Good luck !
