Hello

I'm so sorry you find yourself here. Finding a lump is one of the most upsetting and scary things. I was in this position just over 3 weeks ago. You never think it will be you, until it is. Sometimes stress and the sheer anxiety can give you physical sensations so my advice to you is until you are seen by the clinic, try not to feel yourself physically anymore. They will examine you and tell you what's what. Try to think about getting through each day on a practical level. Go about your business and if you find yourself going to the darkside of your mind, take 5 deep breaths. If you find the anxiety too much, speak to your GP about your concerns. There are also nurses who you can talk to who are very understanding. There is a phone number on here somewhere and you call and get straight through to them. They were so reassuring when I called them. I wish you nothing but health, peace and happiness. Xxx

Thank you for your reply. 

Did you have similar symptoms to me? What was your outcome? 

Hello there

The only symptom I had was a funny feeling in my left breast at the base, close to the rib. I felt and knew something had appeared that wasn't similar to my right breast. I'm lucky enough to have private health care and I was seen next day, told it felt benign and that there were two lumps. After a mammogram though I was ultrasounded and 2 biopsies taken. Then told it looked suspicious. My world imploded right there. I got an early cancer diagnosis 4 days later. Now I'm about to see my oncologist tomorrow with a view to me starting chemo within days. The whole process has been just over three weeks and I've had mri scans, pet scans ct scans and more biopsies. Plus I caught covid on top of it all. I'm still here and I'm getting on with it. So many women go through this. You only fully realise when you enter this arena. 

How are you doing today? Xx
