I wanted to say hi. Hospital has said they're short staffed and so fast track is a 3 week wait. 2 weeks gone now, my appointment is a week today.
I had left breast pain a few years back, but GP said nothing wrong, pain nothing to worry about etc. and I since had clear mammogram. So when this pain started at the beginning of December I wasn't overly concerned, I told myself it should be gone by Christmas.
But it didn't go and in January it got worse. I genuinely thought I'd pulled a muscle. I kept checking my breasts, but they were the same as ever. So I told myself all was OK.
Then at the beginning of February a hard area just appeared from nowhere in my top left breast. It absolutely wasn't there one week. And then it was the next week.
I saw a locum doctor within a week of finding it and she referred me. The look on her face, so very serious indeed. I didn't feel reassured. I think she suspected something.
So now I'm waiting. My left breast still hurts, I have pain in both armpits, my neck, my shoulder blade and now my thigh. I am absolutely terrified and fearing the worst.
I am so lucky to have a lovely husband. I have sworn him to secrecy until we know what we're dealing with. But I feel sick in the pit of my stomach and I'm absolutely terrified.
