welcome 

Try not to worry not all breast lumps are cancer your gp will probably refer you to a breast clinic to get this checked out only 2 in ten breast clinic referrals end up with a diagnosis you are doing the right thing bdt it checked 

I had breast cancer last year it was no where as bad as I'd thought .

Hi Natalie.  
I had my first ever mammogram 4th January.  I kept telling my friends that I'd got breast cancer.  They kept telling me not to be silly.  I then got a call from the hospital inviting me for another mammogram saying that they had found something suspicious.  I went. Had a biopsy and was told I'd got breast cancer.  They said if I'd not have had a mammogram I would never have found the lump as it was so deep   I've had the surgery ( a lumpectomy ) they removed the cancer  I've had radiotherapy and am now on the road to recovery.  I just knew I'd got cancer. Im Glad I went and had the second mammogram.  Sometimes our body's know what going on with itself before we do.  Go to the  gp.  Get checked.  If it is cancer they will catch it and give you treatment and all the help you need.  
I know it's scary. But remember that your not alone.  It happens to so many of us women. If it's there you can't change it. But you can help to decide your future and how you deal with it.  Medical science nowadays is wonderful and they can do so much.  Listen to your body If it's cancer be strong.  Get it sorted.  You can do it.   I did.   And I'm glad I went to that first ever mammogram else I would never have known.  Then who knows what would have happened You think you have cancer but not 100% sure.  Find out and get it sorted. It may not be as bad as you think.  
sending you love and luck

Hi Natialie I am exactly the same as you. I worry about everything and always imagine the worst. I found a lump at the weekend and I went to the GP. I usually worry about nothing. I am always OK. Now there is something. I feel like I am going to be told I have cancer when I go to my hospital appointment. Its like I already know. How did you get on xx

Hi Natalie,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that you made an appointment to see your GP today, despite being too scared to go. A cancer diagnosis is no longer as terminal as it once was. Treatments have advanced tremendously in the past few years. I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer 26 years ago and I have had 2 bouts myself since then. There was no comparison between the diagnosis, treatment and after care that we both experienced. 

I was first diagnosed 13 years ago and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life and I'm sure that you will too.

I hope that your GP was able to help you today.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you got on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi, I'm exactly the same worrying about every little thing and always thinking the worst. I have an appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow morning about a breast lump and can't help but think the worst.

I hope your GP appointment went ok today. Keep us updated.
