Scared, lumps found in armpit and breast, been referred

Hello everyone,

I have been reading through the different threads. I'm a 38 year old mum of 3. I found a lump under my armpit around 2 weeks ago. I went to the Dr yesterday who was very lovely with me . He felt 2 small lumps in my right breast too. I have been referred and I am just very worried and so emotional. I am trying to be brave as I don't want to frighten my children. Thanks for reading,

  • Awwwww Kate , I know ! I feel the same 

    you're doing brilliantly , 

    Thats the thing isn't it , our local private hospital isn't doing any consultations due to it being a satalite unit for COVID 

    Hugs

    I want to just hide away 

    My youngest daughter knows as I had a meltdown yesterday in work and I got sent home ...... I think I'll tell my eldest daughter tomorrow 

    Have you told your parents ? I'm debating wether to tell them but I'm not too sure if I should but they are like MI5 and I think they'll pick up in the fact sknething isn't right 

  • My mum lives in Germany. I rang her and she is very upset. I've contacted the nearest private hospital and they can see me 5th Jan. I've provisonally booked it as I rang the GP back who is going to contact the NHS breast clinic. I don't hold out much hope though as it's nobody's fault it's just a back log due to Covid. 

  • Kate I completely understand , it's such an awful time 

    Bless you , your mum is bound to feel upset especially being in Germany and not being able to be there for you 

    Do you have a good support network around you ? 

     

    I'll send you a friend request if that's okay
