  • Hello Chezza_1971

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently noticed some changes to your breast. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    You don't mention in your post if you've already spoken with your GP. If not then please do get in touch with them as they will be best placed to arrange for you to be examined. It's possible that they may want to refer you to the local breast clinic or for a mammogram. If so then it might help you to keep in mind that the vast majority of women who are referred to breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. 

    We know that waiting for appointments can be a difficult time and often it can help to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to chat with our team of nurses you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    Keep in touch Chezza and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
