Hi Rhitoinfinity,

Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about your breast lumps. I am not a doctor, but it sounds good that no lumps were found underarm. If there is a lump here it can be a sign of lymph node involvment. Cancer can spread via the lymph nodes, depending on how many lymph nodes are involved.  Pease don't worry that your GP has referred you under the urgent referral system. Most people who are slightly older, get referred under the two week referral system.
The reason that younger people have difficulty in being referred is that it is rarer for them to get cancer at a younger age. Sadly though, it is not impossible and, you are right to get it investigated. I am glad that you have phoned your mum, as you will find her support invaluable and, we all need support at this stage. It is perfectly natural to cry for no obvious reason, so please don't worry about this. It is actually a good release valve when you are under so much stress. At the moment, you will find that it is the fear of the unknown that is so frightening. Regardless of the outcome, you will find that it gets easier once you know exactly what you are dealing with.

You've got a lot of exciting things going on in your life with your new job and new home coming up. 

This is always a particularly worrying time, as you wait for tests and then results. You are not likely to get your results at your first appointment, as you may have to wait a further 1-2 weeks to get the results of these tests.

Of all the people referred to the breast clinic only 1 person in 8 will get a cancer diagnosis, so you still have a good chance of a favourable result. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. We are always here for you.

Try to keep as busy as you can to keep your mind off the wait.

Fingers crossed for good news.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
