Hi Shalommm, welcome! I'm no medical expert but I know at my GP surgery some doctors tend to err on the side of caution and refer any lump/change in breast tissue via the 2 week wait. Most referrals to the breast clinic turn out to be nothing sinister, especially at a young age, as plenty of threads on this forum testify. I hope your appointment goes well xx

Hi Shalommm,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

It is normal to be referred to the breast clinic under the 2 week pathway. This usually means that you will be givent an appointment within 2 weeks from the date of referral. It is worth remebering a few things while you wait. Not all breast lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be benign cysts or fibrous changes. It is also unusual for someone of your age to get a cancer diagnosis, although unfortunately, not impossible. The fact is, that out of every 10 people who attend the breast clinic, only 2 will receive a cancer diagnosis.

I sincerely hope that you turn out to be one of the lucky ones!

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

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
