Hello. I'm also waiting very nervously for my referral appointment which is next week, I haven't been eating properly and I feel sick and really tired everyday. I have a lump on my left breast and it hurts. Feeling sick and tired is a sign of breast cancer so I'm really scared that I'm going to get bad news next week. Please let me know how you get on and I wish you the best of luck!! Please try not to worry until you get the news <3 I also know how you feel about venting how you feel, my family and bf just don't understand how I'm feeling. Always here if you need to chat XX

Wishing you the best of luck for your appointment, it's so easy to overthink what your symptoms might mean but specific symptoms don't always point to just one thing - this is something I'm reminding myself of when I get overwhelmed about this. Being very stressed and exerting yourself can cause tiredness / nausea too if you're feeling anxious, especially if it's really playing on your mind - I know this is something I deal with, and while I can't say it's because of this or that, please try not to read too far into things or you'll end up down a rabbit hole like I have!! The wait to be seen / get results is excruciating isn't it :( I will do, thank you - let me know how you get on lovely, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Thank you so much! I wish you the best of luck too and I'll have my fingers crossed! Yes I will let you know! Please let me know too Xx

Thank you, I will do! Just hoping I get my appointment letter through soon, it will have been two weeks tomorrow since my GP put the referral through xx

Small update: I spoke with my GP on Friday as I'm worried sick about everything, and I asked him what he thought it could be (I know he couldn't give me a diagnosis, but I thought I'd ask for potentially some peace of mind.) He said it's possible that it's some mixed dense tissue (?), a cyst (it doesn't particularly feel like what a cyst is meant to), or something hormonal. He said that if I don't hear from the breast clinic in the next week or two, I can contact him and he will set up an appointment for me to see a nurse specialist at my health clinic.

I feel like I have far too much going on health-wise, I also have an appointment next Tuesday with ENT as I have lumps in my nose and discomfort in my throat (but that's a whole other story).

My GP said that my chances of having the big C, so young with no family history of breast C, are extremely low, but I won't be able to settle until I've been examined and had tests done at the breast clinic. It feels nightmarish living in uncertainty and fear because I don't know what's going on inside my body.
