Breast referral

ELS7
Offline

Hi

 

I found a lump in my breast about a week ago and seen the GP this morning. The GP has then referred me under the 2 week wait to the breast clinic and said I should have an appointment in the next 2 weeks. I am only 28 ️

My anxiety level is now through the roof and I feel very scared. What are the chances this could be cancer? Am I over reacting? Could it just be a cyst? Very very nervous and scared. Any help or advise on what will happen at the breast clinic would be greatly appreciated!

    I go to breast clinic for reasons other than cancer the doctors look after all breast problems like cysts, infections, problems with the milk ducts,  l was 23 on my first visit lm now retired. They run a one stop clinic so they see you and decide if you need mammogram ultrasound or both, and you have them in the clinic. You can take someone with you if you want to,  the Covid restrictions are now relaxing. You may need to wait in the corridor before being seen but they can go in with you. They can usually give you the results before you leave the clinic. .

    Try to take it easy while you wait for your appointment. We all have doubts about the outcome before the visit. Talk to family if you can . I have found the breast nurses to be really nice in the clinic they are up to date with the current treatment. 
    Take care
