The lump found in my breast looks suspicious of cancer

Hello   

was told yesterday that the lump found in my breast looks suspicious of cancer, was told looks like stage 2, but have to wait 2 weeks to confirm and which type. I was on my own and broke down!!! I’ve told my sister but I’m so afraid to tell the rest of my family. Doesn’t feel real! I have so many questions, where do I start?

    Hi BRI,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that your lump looks suspicious. This is always a great shock to hear on your first visit. However, it does prepare you somewhat for bad news when you return for your results. Most people don't tell family and friends until after they've had their results confirmed. It is normal to have to wait for your results, but this will feel like a very long two weeks!

    I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and I was told that my lumps were suspicious straight away too. Unfortunately, they were right. I had the 2 bouts within a year of each other, but I still lead a busy and fulfilling life 14 years on. Can you bring someone with you to your results appointment? You will find it helpful to write down all of your questions and to take this with you to your next consultation. I do this before every visit, to ensure that I don't forget to ask anything important.

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

    Kind regards,
