Scared

Hi I'm Emily. I've found a lump in my right breast, going to get it checked out at 11:45 such a wait, cannot concentrate! Just know they are going to say I have cancer, just scared that it has spread and there are no treatment options!!! I'm only 19 and so afraid of this not being curable :( Does the breast tend to hurt if you have cancer? And the arm? :-( 

  • Hi Emily, 

    I noticed in your post that you said you were going to an appointment this morning to get the lump checked out. How did you get on? 

    I hope that the Dr/Nurse was able to give you some information which has helped answer some of your questions. 

    Do let us know how you got on when you have a moment. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you Jen! 

    The doctor seems to think that the lump is a non malignant lump because of the way it feels when she presses against it as it's a rubber moveable lump. Although I have a non urgant ultrasound booked in at the breast clinic. I'm still scared that's they're going to tell me different, is it normal that my breast still hurts and my lower arm hurts? She did check my underarms and there was nothing to worry about... just trying to put it to the back of my mind until I get my appointment but just keep thinking the worst :-(
