2 week wait worries

Hi,

Just looking for somebody to talk to. I'm 28 and found a very small, hard lump on my cleavage line of my left breast. Was seen by my doctor on Wednesday and been put on the 2 week referral pathway.

I cannot stop Googling and reading my NHS notes. I live on my own and my thoughts are taking over me. I have so much stress at work and I'm not functioning. I haven't had my appointment letter through yet but I just cannot see how I'm going to gett through the weeks. Every time I Google I convince myself it's bad. I have no other symptoms but I'm sure my mind is playing tricks on me and telling me I've got new ones, mainly because I keep touching the lump.

Just want to talk to somebody.

    Sounds like you’ve noticed and done something about it early as possible so thats a good thing. To do this you’re already showing amazing strength. , it’s amazing the things they can do nowadays  Fear the worst, hope for the best. everything you’re going through is understandable. I started to look at it like this…. the time between having a scan and getting the results I call my” free time” as there is nothing I can do about it so while I wait, what I  don’t know I don’t know, while you feel fit and able enjoy every precious moment, its very very hard, perhaps try use  work as a distraction.as time spent worrying is time wasted,  I don’t know if this makes sense or helps, I wish you all the best,
