Nervous about my appointment

Hi everyone,

3ish weeks ago I found a lump  in my right breast  which radiates up to armpit. My boob feels uncomfortable pretty much all the time and I am constantly fatigued  I was seen my GP a few days later. He suspected a cyst and ruled out that the pain was cyclical. He referred me to breast clinic for an ultrasound which was meant to be the Wednesday just gone. I got a call a week before from the hospital saying my appointment had been changed to tomorrow (13th) as a consultant had looked at my notes and decided I was best off seeing the surgical team instead. There was no mention of seeing a surgeon etc by my GP..just that I'd have an ultrasound. 

I really don't know what to expect at my appointment tomorrow as the hospital or GP haven't explained anything to me...I've just been told that I'd find out at my appointment.  Do you think they'd give me a scan still? I'm worried that they won't be able to find my lump as I can't feel it when I'm lying down but it's very obvious it's there when standing or sitting up. Would they take this into consideration. I'm feeling so anxious and feel so sick.

  • The doctor didn't need to be abrupt when you were at the clinic everyone's worried and needs to feel listened to. Go for the scan and see what they say it may be fine and you can feel reassured that it has been checked. 
    l have an open appointment for the breast clinic and can make an appointment with them if l am worried, lve had lots of surgery ect, but my last visit six weeks ago was total opposite to yours. 
    I have been referred to another clinic and they were checking that l have an appointment and nothing has changed since March

    take care
