Well this might be start of the journey... another bump in my personal journey. All I wanted to was to move house and live with my fiancé - first COVID so 18months apart, then left my old job with hope of finding a new job - that's not happened either. So next plan - move in, start a family and sort the wedding things out but now reached another hurdle - with the welcoming of Mrs Lump.

So typically I get breast tenderness linked to my menstrual cycle, a monthly occurance but through the monthly self check this time I found a huge lump in the upper part of my right breast that wasn't there at all the previous month!! Obviously went straight onto Dr Google, that's just paranoid me completely, spoke to a few friends, panicked my mum (breast cancer survivor) and panicked the hell out of my fiancé. Any how, plucked up the courage and phoned the doctors, say courage I was a blubbery emotional mess since finding it and overthinking you always go worst case scenario. So got given a telephone consultation - I don't know how that was going to help. But have a GP appointment tomorrow (I pushed for it and they seemed pretty laid back until I said about my mums history). So the waiting game begins...

All I want to say is thank you, I came across this forum by accident and after reading the strength from some of these posts and the people and the connections has made me feeling like I am not alone. It has also saved the Dr Google viewing late at night.
