Hi tony 

I just had a heaviness no lump to feel , just went for a check as my freind was diagnosed and thought I was being paranoid , I still could not feel a lump on operation day , my lump was very small 1.6 early stage BC . I think a lot of lumps on here don't all turn out to be BC please try not to worry , but I no it's hard get a appointment and get it checked it's normally a 2 week wait , but if you can go to a private clinic tgey do all these tests sane day I knew more or less in 40 mins just had to wait 7 days for confirmation but was told it was suspicious in my 1st appointment . Xx hope it helps tey your best to not worry I hope all goes well 

Hi, 

Thankyou for sharing. How are you now? 

I can't afford to go private but I have my husband checking his BUPA in the morning. I used to have private medical care with my old job, but not with this one.

From what I've seen on here it's quick on nhs too only 2 weeks so that's amazing xx 

I'm so glad you are feeling great now Lara. Good luck with your chemo in the next few weeks. I'm hoping my husbands policy extends to family but I'm fairly sure it doesn't. I'll push to be seen as sson as possible though.. 

Thank you for your comments and I'll update you. Xx

Hi Toni 

yes a lot of these policies include family , good luck with everything xx 

Hi everyone. I managed to get an appointment face to face this morning. The doctor did a check and confirmed the lump. I've now been referred to the breast clinic. I was able to book in online for 21.09.22 at 9.30 am. Does anyone know what to expect? 

Thank you for your ongoing support. Xx

Hi Toni 

This was my experience not sure if all are the same 

my first appointment was a mammogram, then a chat with consultant , if they see anything on mzmogram they do a ultrasound and biopsy there and then , then attend the biopsy results 7 days later xx hope this helps xx 

Thanks Laura. My mind is in overdrive. I just want the next week to pass as quickly as possible so I can get some answers. Xx

Toni 

try not to worry hun , honestly a lot of lumps are not concerning, but we always think the worst we can't help it , just try and keep busy and I hope everything will be ok the waiting is the worst part xx a few of my friends have had lumps and they turn out to be cysts benign lumps lots of things xx 

hi i had exactly same thing as u in right side been today just turned out to be a cyst felt fixed to had ultra sound and had it drained honestly try not to worry can be a number of things 

Thank you Laura and Horse_girl. I'm trying, I really am. It's just so terrifying. I don't think it helps that I hurt my back last week and have ovulation pain. It sends anxiety in to overdrive!

I'm pleased you had a good result Horse_girl! Xx

Hi Tonis, 

Can I just ask how you managed to book online for an appointment as I have been waiting a month for an urgent 2 week referral and i'm not getting any where but my lump is getting bigger? 

Thank you x
