    Hi Nousernamesleft,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. This can be a scarey wait and our minds do go into overdrive. Don't worry if you are feeling over emotional at the moment, as this is perfectly normal. You will find it easier once you know what you are dealing with, as it is particularly hard to cope with so many unknowns.

    Only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis and not all breast lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts or fibrous changes.

    You will have some tests when you attend the clinic and it will probably take a further 1-2 weeks for the results to come back.

    I sincerely hope that your tests don't show up anything untoward. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
