Hi, I absolutely know how your feeling it is frightening when you feel a lump. You definitely do need to phone the doctors in the morning even if it turns out to be nothing it will put your mind at ease.

Hope everything goes well for you, Good luck and best wishes 

Thank you for replying. 
I've made it sore now and it's swollen a bit as I keep prodding and poking it about. 
Im googling everything I can and I know it's not helping but I can't help it I feel like I need to know what I'm going into? 
i just have a bad feeling about it all!!! 
 

Thank you, you probably think I sound like an utter nutter i promise you I'm not! I don't know where this has come from i have health anxiety but never anything like this. I'm usually a rational person but this I don't know it's just taken over my life since Sunday when I found the lump. I phoned the breast clinic and told them about my anxiety and worries and she said basically you'll have to wait which is fine but she said if it's bad news it won't make a difference anyway! I said what have I said to make you think it'll be bad news!!  She said its nothing they can do it'll be looked at and assessed Monday and go from there but she really made me panic, will the GP have told them anything on the referral letter like a heads up oh I think this or I think that? 
 

My stomach is in knots I've just had another feel and I'm sure there's more lumps 

Hi scaredtosleep,

I've just been reading your posts and I feel exactly like you. I have health anxiety since losing a close family member and at the min, I am beyound terrified. 
I can't sleep, eat, I cry all day and feel sick. How the heck I am going to get through work tomorrow, I have absolutely no idea. I'm desperate even for a couple of hours sleep. I literally had about an hours sleep since Friday and I lay awake thinking the worst and putting my family through another loss and grief. 
my app at the breast clinic is on rhe 15th what about yours? I have a lump, as well as swelling  and pain under arm pit and I am expecting the worst. This is my second lump and got good news with the first. Also this is 5 scare which involves a 2 week referral to rule Out cancer, in 2 years. I got good news on all 5 and feel like l luck will run out. I just feel physically ill waiting for news/appointments and it's taking over my life. I just wanted to share how I felt to let you know you are not alone. Sending love x

Hi  

Big hugs mine sounds so similar I have a small lump left breast mine feels like a pea.

I had an ultrasound and biopsy Friday they said it was 15mm and on screen just looked black. They think it's very round she said good sign. 

Just waiting on results now so hard not sure if they call or go back you almost forgot to ask things. 

Good luck with yours definitely ring doctor.

Hi K86

Mine also feels like a pea as I can't leave it alone. My is kind of where the breast starts from my chest.

I know when I had to have a growth removed from my cervix last year, they said I'd get results over the phone, but my friend had to go in for hers, so bit confusing isn't it really. I wouldn't read into it, if you do have to go in for the results, a I know people who have been asked to go in for results and got good news.

How are you coping with the wait? I feel really alone, even though I have people around me, so I know that sounds silly x

Hi

I just wanted to say you are not alone in feeling so anxious. It's so overwhelming isn't it!

My situation is a bit different.- I was treated for breast cancer 8 years ago and have had 5 clear mammograms since then. I had my last mammogram  on Tuesday, and as it's the first one for 3 years I have convinced myself this time that the cancer has returned ( I was told I had quite a high ridk of recurrence).

I can identify so much with not being able to plan anything, and I find myself waking up in a state of panic at 3am every morning.. The thought of bring recalled terrifies me, and I panic every time the post arrives! I was told results should arrive within 2 weeks but getting through each day is such a struggle. I think it's the not knowing that is the worst part!

I do hope everything works out for you. I probably haven't been much help,  but just wanted to say I understand exactly how you feel and to wish you luck.

I am so sorry to hear of your previous diagnosis, it's so sad that so many of us are affected by this terrible disease. 
I know it's so hard waiting for results, but I have a friend who has remained cancer free for many years, not that it ever takes away the fear, I imagine. So try and not think of the worst and keep busy. I know it's so hard.

Sending a big hug. I'm desperate for some sleep tonight x

Thanks so much for replying - I will try very hard to be strong! I've already told my partner that he has to open the letter when it arrives though:)

On the positive side I've actually had a really healthy 8 years since my treatment, and tolerated Anastrozole ok. Since my mammogram I've just got it in my head that it's about to start all over again!! It's seems a shame that after 5 years you go back to the normal 3 yearly screening. 

I do hope you get some sleep tonight - and a big hug to you too.

Hey; thanks for taking the time to message. 
my appointment is today at 9.40. 
I hardly slept last night. Yesterday I thought I could hardly feel the lump/hard bit. Today it feels bigger than ever. 
i just have a feeling it's going to be bad news, I just feel it. You know that sense of impending doom. 
i hope your appointment goes well, that's not long to wait now. What was your lumps the last 5 times? 
xx

Hey, thanks for replying. If they thought it was a good sign why do a biopsy? I thought biopsy's was to confirm something sinister? Apologies if I haven't got that right. 
mine is like a hard slab with a lump on top like wiggly rope if that makes sense.
