2ww breast referral wait and symptoms

scspark
Offline

Hi, 

I'm 38 and two weeks ago found a palpable hard lump in my left breast. Really quite scared. Waiting on clinic appt. I've had a letter saying if I've not heard by last Friday then to call, but when I call they say you 'you'll hear with an appt in the next 7-14 days'. 
 

Any ideas how long the process actually takes? 
 

Also wanted to ask about other symptoms? I've been having night sweats - not drenching or every night, but enough to wake me up a couple of times a week. And feeling nauseous, but wonder if that's the anxiety? 
Anyone else had similar symptoms pre diagnosis? 
 

thanks x

    i found my lump in my left breast on 6th feb , after waking up with sharp pain 

    gp on 7th feb who refurred my to breast clinic 

    had a call on 8th feb from breast clinic nurse who gave me a date 8th march 

    since then my father in law got rushed in hospital and passed away sadly 1 week ago , i alllso been feeling sick but could be worry or stress , im worried as im on life long warfarin so any surgery or anything to do with blood will be an issue for me 

    have you had any blood tests for dibeties , as my other half sweats a lot but most likely is stress etc 

    i have notice my nipple has started to go in on times since weekend i have noticed this 

     

    i would go back to gp and ask to chase up clinic let them know your fears etc 

    take care x
