Hi everyone, I've been a silent reader for the last couple of weeks but felt compelled to finally write my thoughts down on the Eve before my triple assessment tomorrow. Probably anxiety getting the better of me but I thought maybe if I journal my own experiences, including symptoms and then update with my results it may help someone with anything similar. 
 

I know reading other people's stories has helped ease my own overdriven mind over the last few weeks. So here's my story to date:

Around four months ago I began to notice a dent underneath my nipple, the lower centre. Around 3 months ago the lump appeared, immobile but large and pops in and out when I push it, a little like bubble wrap I guess, and entirely painless. I monitored this myself over the last three months watching it grow to the point that it is visible with clothes too now. So I made a doctors appointment just over two weeks ago. 
The doctor agreed immediately that the nipple doesn't look quite right, the crater dent is deep and the lump is visible to the naked eye, no lymph's to feel which is great news. Referred under the two week wait and my appt is tomorrow so 2 weeks 1 day which is great in COVID times. 
 

I must add, I had an uplift with implants 6 years ago. I do not know what type of implants but that also worries me with BIA-ALCL concerns. This could be something to do with my implant I'm hoping it's a bad rupture and maybe leaked silicone rather than anything malignant. 
 

I am 31, married with two wonderful little ones, an 8 month old baby boy and a feisty yet adoring 9 year old girl. Thankfully they have both kept me on my toes the last two weeks and prevented me heading down the anxiety rabbit hole. 
 

I feel confident about tomorrow and glad the wait is over and it may sound silly and I don't know how to describe it but I'm just excited to find out what exactly this is, excited is the wrong word but I just want to finally know what is happening in my body. 
 

I hope when I can update this tomorrow with my experience and possibly results then it may help other people who are stuck in this waiting game.
