Waiting for referral after loosing both parents to cancer

I have started this post about 10 times I have looked through a lot of posts on here and what some people are going through it just feels a bit stupid to be posting yet. I found a lump last week went to the Docs she actually thought the lump I found is just breast tissue but she found another lump in my left breast on the upper inner right hand side of my breast. I think I can feel it but then I think no I can’t. She’s referred me and told me to call yesterday if I hadn’t heard anything which I did, they said they are waiting for a dr to realease another clinic but I will be seen within 2 weeks. 

I have lost both parents to cancer in the last 6 months and so down anyway This wait is killing me it’s probably nothing as dr google says most lumps are nothing but I think I’m super sensitive due to my mum & Dad and I miss them so much. My Dad was diagnosed 18 months before he died I went through chemo with him and he was so strong. Mum had secondary bone cancer and ended up having a stroke me and my sister cared for her that last week and it’s the hardest week of my life 

sorry im waffling now but I won’t lie this waiting is a nightmare 

  • Hi, 

     

    So I can't offer any words of advice but just wanted to say you're not alone. I too have lost both my parents to cancer, been through it with them both and now have been urgently referred having come across a massive breast tumour which i can't believe I didn't find earlier. I have two little boys who are my world and wholley rely upon me but know for me it is bad news as could tell from the doctor, and what's worse, it's probably advanced. I too am absolutely petrified. So so so scared. Just so you know I know how you feel. Try to be positive and wait for results, but that's coming from someone struggling to do that herself.

  • Hi 

    thank you for replying it’s very kind when you’re going through what you are. You never know it could be a large cyst from what I’ve read on dr google they do come in every shape and size. I know that probably doesn’t help I know I’m sick of my hubby and sister saying everything will be fine it will be nothing I know it doesn’t help. 

    I really hope you are ok and worst case it is amazing what they can do now a days. Dad went through chemo and I swear he never had any side effects other than being tired for about a day oh and cold toes lol 

    The waiting thing is pants isn’t it 

     

    take care and let us know how it goes 

    fingers and toes crossed

  • Hi Soulsand

    That is fantastic news I’m so pleased for you

    I had a proper melt down last night but I got my appointment today so at least that’s something I’m booked in next Wednesday so more waiting but at least I’m in. Today I have had the most terrible pain in my breast though it’s like someone is sticking a needle through my nipple I was bent double earlier but it seems to have worn off a bit. There is definitely something going on in there but maybe the pain is a good sign and it’s a blockage or something who knows but fingers crossed it’s just something simple 

    Take care and I’m over the moon you’re in the clear
