Urgent Referral for Breast Cancer

Just been to see GP

right boob felt awkward/hard/pains in armpit. Numbness and tingling down right arm and fingers (although gp says this is posture)  I hadn’t felt lumps but boob has been achey  gp found lumps in inferior quadrant (think that’s what he said) 

absolutely terrified. Been referred urgently for breast cancer. Mum has had bc but had lumpectomy and all good. 

have an 18 year old. Obviously worried how she’ll cope if it’s bad news 

anyone else had same symptoms but all turned out ok? 

  • I went through this a few weeks back - similar symptoms although I could feel my lump myself - I know how scary it is.  The investigations I had were totally painless - and everyone was extremely lovely and very professional. They reassured me that there was nothing to worry about and I was discharged within a few hours.  Hope you have the same experience. 

  • Thank you for your reply.  Dont know whether its my imagination or not but now feel like everything in my body hurts so thinking the worst all the time
