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

I have found a breast dent abs my mom died of cancer so I am in bits cant get it out of my mind like you. 

Hope all ok with you 

Hi Chezza 1971

When did you discover the lump, have you any pain?   It's such a worry waiting to find anything out, I'm constantly thinking about it.  

Im sorry your mum died of cancer and this must make you even more concerned.

Please feel free to chat, always hear to listen

I noticed a dent or puckering Monday and waiting to see hospital scared stiff like you. Hope you are OK 

Hi Chezza,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms. My mum died of secondary breast cancer too. It is not at all unusual to be in bits at this stage. Try to remind yourself "that it isn't cancer until you're told that it's cancer."  Only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic gets a cancer diagnosis, so here's hoping for good news. Whatever you do in the meanwhile, don't be tempted to consult Dr Google, as this will only scare you stiff and serve no useful purpose.Have you seen your GP yet?

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you I can't stop looking at Google driving myself crazy I feel sick can't sleep. When I look at breast dents it all says worst. 

Thank you replying to me.

Hope you all get positive results 

Hi Chezza 1971,

My husband went out for the day and I thought I would look at Google, but I stopped myself.  It's not giving me the answers I want to see, just fears that leads to tears.

Have you managed to get an appointment with your gp?  I've decided to go private as the wait is over 2 weeks in my area due to covid.  They said they may get a cancellation but with my anxiety, I don't think I can wait.  My parents have offered to pay.  I have an one stop appointment next Thursday.

Everyone on this site, understands your fears, we are all here for you. I had a good cry today, I needed to let it out.

I have appointment on Sunday called today. I havent got a lump at all its a dent or pucker on one breast. Noticed it Monday. Hope your appointment goes well. If you look at puckering etc it's all negative. Feel sick with fear like you. 

It's so unfair I have 2 children too. 

That's really quick, well done.  

I have no puckering or marks or lumps only pain.  I've had constant pain before about 5 years ago and that was checked and it was hormonal.  This feels different, more of a burning sensation on and off and pain around my breast.  The doctor did say get it checked just incase there  is something and you can't feel it.  My mind went into over drive, I keep feeling and making pain worse.

Our children are the most important people in our lives and the thought of not being with them is horrendous.   

Hopefully you will have some answers if not all the answers Sunday.  Let me know how you get on,

Hi Chezza,

 Try not to google. as this always makes matters worse. Keep telling yourself that "it's not cancer until you're told that it's cancer."

Kind regards,

Hi Kernow,

I'm so glad to hear that you have managed to get an earlier appointment. I hope that it all goes well.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I was wondering how you got on with your appointment yesterday.

Kernow

Hi 

So grateful everything was clear on mammogram and ultrasound they found one cyst which was benign in left breast and right one where dent is 2 cysts on other side but nothing where dents are. Examined me said nothing showed up so must be weight gain and body changes due to getting older. I felt so happy but shocked and shook all day. As I never ate all week or slept. Thank you all so much for supporting me. 

I'm so pleased for you  now relax and enjoy the start of 2022.
