Feel sick - Breast Clinic tomorrow

Hi All 

I found a lump last week , gp made me an appointment for tomorrow so super quick

 I have been ok until yesterday but now I am so anxious,  worried and teary this lump is something more. 

I have been to the breast clinic 2/3 times last time in 2020. All OK but for some reason this lump feels different. I am petrified keep feeling sick too. 

I have a 10 year and 8 year old and am not ready to say goodbye to them. I can't really talk to my husband because I feel he might think I am being over the top . 

Sending love x

  • Hi all, just posting to wish you all luck with your appointments!
    I'm in the same boat and understand how hard it is to keep busy and not worry at times like this. I saw my GP on 30 March and my appointment has come through for Saturday 29 April. I was feeling pretty calm but getting more nervous the closer I get to the appointment. It's not my local hospital and the letter says I'm booked in to a breast surgery clinic, which has unnerved me a little! 
    Really hope that you all get positive outcomes. Sending lots of love and positivity to you all xx

  • Hi Vickycos,

    This is fantastic news. I'm sure that you feel so relieved. After all your worry, this is just the news that I was hoping to hear.

    Give those 2 children of yours a big hug and get back to living family life to the full.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Thank you Jolamine and thank you for your kind words ️

    Hi Lily36 - I had my appointment today and all was ok . Everyone in the clinic is so lovely , patient and understanding. Mammograms are not very dignified , they are very uncomfortable but not too painful well for me. I had an ultrasound too. Sending you love and positive vibes xx 

     

    Hi Dottie0911 Gosh that has been a bit of a wait for you . Luckily I was ok my appointments was in the breast clinic too. They really try to put you at ease from rhe get go. Sending you love x

  • Thank you for replying! I just saw that you had a great result, which is fabulous news. Hopefully you will be able to rest and relax now, knowing that it's nothing sinister. The waiting is just awful, isn't it?
    For me, the wait has felt so drawn out, as my GP made the referral on the 2 week wait basis, but I guess with Easter in between, it's just delayed things. Hopefully Saturday will give me some answers. 
    So pleased for you, hope you are doing something lovely to celebrate xx

  • Hi Dottie 

    I'll be thinking of you Saturday , everyone there is in the same boat and fingers crossed its all OK.  

    I am going to celebrate with some worryless sleep I think and we went out for a lovely tea x

  • Enjoy the sleep! Glad you had a lovely tea out. 
     

    Thank you for your kind wishes. I'll definitely put an update on here on Saturday after the appointment xx

  • Hi Vickycos,

     

    I am so pleased it went well for you. It was also good news for me. I had a giant cyst!! More than 10cc was drained. I have only small boobs so that 10cc was huge for me. I started sobbing in the car - all the emotions I had been trying to keep in control just came bursting out into the open. Thank you for chatting with me during the agonising wait. I think a good night's sleep is coming tonight for both of us.

    @Jolamine, thank you also for your kind words. I've seen your posts all over this forum and they have really given me strength and comfort. 

    To all other ladies who happen upon this thread and waiting for an appointment, I want to reassure you that just because your lump is huge and hard, it doesn't necessarily mean bad news, but it's definitely the right thing to do to get it checked.

    Sending love to all.

  • I will be thinking of you, Dottie0911. The waiting is really horrible. Sending hugs. 

  • Hi Lucky !  

    Ah I am so pleased for you ! I hope you can rest easy this evening! I know what you mean it's just a shock to be 'ok' . That must have been some cyst , you take care of yourself xx

  • Hi Dottie,

    I'm glad to hear that you are nearly there. Don't worry about the title of the clinic. This is just another name for the breast clinic, although I can understand why it unnerved you.

    I shall be thinking of you on Saturday and I sincerely hope that all goes well for you.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
