Found a lump, waiting for hospital referral.

A found a small lump at the weekend. I’ve seen my doctor who is getting me an appointment for all the tests. It will be about 2 weeks to wait. At the moment I can not imagine being able to cope with the worry during the 2 weeks. Any advice on how not to worry would be great. Also I started hrt about 3.5 weeks ago, just wondering if that can cause tissue to feel different while body getting used to hrt? Doctor told me to not use any more patches until this is sorted. Thank you

 

  • Hi Cetlicgirl and welcome to the forum.

    A lot of our members know have been through this and know how difficult it can be to stay calm during this period so I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and share their advice. 

    In regards to your second question, I would suggest giving our cancer nurses a call. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Good luck with your tests Cetlicgirl, we'll be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,
