Haven’t a clue where to start

Hi guys, I'm not sure what to say, I went to my GP on Friday and have been told I'm on the 2ww to see a consultant, for changes in my nipple and breast, at the moment my head is all over the place, do I have cancer or not, what is going to happen next, how long will I have to wait for the appt? Feeling very unsurreal, scared and emotional, is this normal????

  • Hi there,

    Please try not to worry, I know it's easier said than done having to wait with such uncertainty. It is standard for GPs to refer with a 2ww any changes to breast or lumps, always better to be on the safe side. I had a 10 day wait (I know some parts of the country may be longer) and then at the clinic had a mammogram and ultrasound, this took about 2 hours. Thankfully my lump was not suspicious ( the majority are not) and my nipple itching and tenderness was put down to hormones. I know it's terrifying waiting but I hope you have a short wait and good result

  • Hi Lou

    I'm so pleased yours turned out to be ok! It's the waiting and the unknown which I'm struggling with. Fingers crossed I'll be ok x
