Awaiting a mammogram

Hello all

fFirst time posting on here. I found a lump or more of a thickening just above the areola on the right side. Saw the nurse who have referred me to the One stop breast clinic. Got my appointment for next Tuesday. 
 

I've tried to put it to the back of my mind over Christmas but of course you can't help but think the worst. Since I've found the lump I've also been feeling sick. The nausea comes and goes but I have it every day now. I just wondered if anyone else also feel sick? Not sure if it's linked or not. Ive Googled the symptoms (I know you shouldn't) but it keeps saying secondary cancer. So now I'm more worried that feeling sick and not through anxiety. That I definitely have it. 

im 43 and a single parent. My youngest turned 13 recently so I'm worried sick about the future. 
 

what peoples other symptoms besides the breast lump?

  • Hi .

      I'm awaiting an urgent referral for pain in my left breast and I've Dr googled and I'm convinced it's the worst of the worst.  

    Im getting headaches and I thought if I had cancer it's already spread but I'm really scared as I have 4 daughters one who has special needs and I have thoughts going through my mind what I would say or do.  I'm here if you need a chat,  hopefully the sickness is anxiety as the waiting is hell

  • Hello 

    Thanks for replying. It's so difficult to remain positive when it's a 50/50 chance of having it and what that entails. The scariest thing is leaving my babies behind as I've 3 daughters.

    Trouble is you Google things to try and inform yourself but it leads to dread of the what might be. I've had headaches and nausea but it come and goes. 
     

    Hopefully you will receive your appointment soon. It's usually within 2 weeks so you should hear by this week. If not I'd call them.

  • Hi, 

    Its the unknown thats scary.  I'm too trying to stay positive but I have pain so it doesn't go from my mind.  At night it's the worst.  

    Hopefully we both get answers soon.   Im not going on Google as I want try to be more positive.  My anxiety like yours is through the roof and so it's making me have headaches.

    Let me know how you get on, as will I
