Hi CMix,

So sorry you're going through this it can be a worrying time can't it!  I've had not exact but semi similar symptoms to yourself I went to my doctors last Tuesday who examined me and put me on the 2 week wait list 2 days later I had a call offering me an appointment for Monday (yesterday).  I went had another physical examine after again explaining my symptoms etc I had a mammogram, ultrasound and a breast core biopsy (tissue aspiration) of the lump in my left armpit.  Now awaiting my results which should be next Tuesday.  That's my experience anyway but you may have different tests done to myself I guess it depends on what they think needs to be looked at.  I really do hope you'll be ok though and wish you all the best whatever your outcome is too.  Everyone who has replied to me on here has been so nice and reassuring.  Just do yourself a favour and stay off dr Google!  The main thing is you've taken first step by seeing your gp the rest the will come and cross each bridge as or if and when you get to it.

All the best

Hi Mumoftwo35

sorry that you are going through this as well, I hope things will be ok for you too. If you don't mind me asking, did they give you any initial results from the scans? Or will they wait for the biopsy to give you the full results? How long did the appointment take? Reassuring that you got your appointment within a week. Hopefully I won't have too long a wait. Yes, Dr Google is dangerous but can't help it at times. 
 

please let me know how to get on and wish you all the best

Hi All,

AMAZING NEWS !!! All ok, had an examination and ultrasound, they said all ok. Although they didn't do the whole area, just really the lump. But taking that as a win. However, due to family history will be able to have mammograms from 40 years old, due to family history.

Thank you to everyone for all the support!!

Amazing!! So pleased for you xxx 

So pleased for you, I am in the family history screening programme, it is really reassuring to have the early mammograms and also to know that any worries, you go straight to the breast clinic, you dont need gp referral first.

Hi CMix,

This news has really made my day. I'm absolutely delighted for you!

I'm sure that, given the family history, it'll be a relief for you to have an annual mammogram.

Here's hoping that you don't ever have to face all this worry again, but remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi all 

my appointment is tomorrow evening but this morning, the lump has vanished. My husband has also checked and can't find it. I'm going to still go to the clinic as I am still worrying endlessly. 

Hi Midlandsparent,

I am glad to hear that you have got an appointment so quickly. It sounds like great news that your lump has disappeared. It is still a good idea to go to te clinic, just to make sure, but here's hoping for good news.

Kind regards,

Hi all 

I had my appointment tonight - they said they could feel a small cyst left over from the infection. They said they were confident that was what it was and I was to have an ultrasound but I could go straight after. They were so confident! The radiologist couldn't feel a thing, did the scan and said everything was fine. She couldn't find anything. 
 

Apparently it's a cyst that becomes infected when I shave and it then raises the lymph node. I was too relieved to take it in but my husband said that's what I was told. 
 

thank you for the hand holding since I saw my gp last week - I've been reeling and felt isolated from people I know so having this forum to come to has been so helpful.

Hi Midlandsparent,

Many thanks for getting back to us. 

This is just the news that we'd hoped to hear. I'm delighted for you. I'm glad that you had your hubby with you. It is seldom that we can take everything in during a consultation, so it is always helpful to have another pair of ears.

I am delighted to hear that you have found some help from this forum, throughout your worrying wait.

Kind regards,
