Hello everyone, I have been reading through the forum and have taken a great deal of comfort from your posts. 
I attended breast clinic last Monday after finding a lump in my right breast in September. 
 

I have had cysts twice before, one went on it's own, the other had to be drained. In all honesty I was just watching and waiting to see if this new lump would go. I have also been a little distracted as I have recently been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the end of December.

when I attended clinic I had a mammogram, then ultrasound, then biopsy. I was informed that it wasn't a cyst but a solid mass. The consultant came to speak to me and asked if I was still working (yep) and advised me to speak to my employer as I was looking at needing ongoing treatment.  They booked me an appointment for 26th January to get my results which feels ages away and advised me to bring someone with me.

I was so taken aback at the appointment I don't think it sunk in and they kept asking if I understood what was happening. They were all really kind but I think I was just a bit numb. 
 

so far I have just told my husband and my boss - I deal in facts and until I have them all there is nothing else I can do. Just finding it torturous at the moment, and impossible not to google everything. 
 

sending love and positivity out to all who are waiting
