Found a lump and got a long wait ahead!

Hi this is my first time posting on anything like this but just needed to chat with people who are not close.

I found a lump (baked bean size above the nipple and hard with no pain )over a month ago. Left it two week waiting for it to just go on it's own which it didn't. After not getting an appt with my Gp I asked in work as I'm a gp receptionist. The gp instantly felt it and said I need an urgent referral to the breast clinic. After waiting a week and not hearing anything I phoned the breast clinic to check. I was told I have to wait until June as urgent suspected cancer appt are currently a 6 week wait at my local hospital. 

Since then I have found 2 lumps in my neck which I'm hoping are just glands.

The wait is killing me I'm not the most patient person anyway. I don't want to go private as it is more than likely nothing as there is no family history and i am under 30 so the odds are in my favour right?? 

Any advice would be much appreciated. There is only so much moaning I can do to my mum and hubby as I feel I'm being a drama about nothing

  • Hi there ...

    The best people for advice would be the G Ps you work for ... they may know just what to do .. hopefully they'll make sure your o.k 

    I know there's a two week refural ... so ask your g p where you work, if it's a guideline or should be kept .. good luck ... but deff push your own Drs two .. remand them of the two week refural ... but keep in mind 8.5 out of ten lumps are benign... so worry but try not to panic 

    Good luck ... Chrissie x
