Hi, I can't offer any advice really but wanted to say you're not on your own and I feel a lot like you describe.

I found quite a big lump and saw my GP a couple of days ago, from her reaction I could tell she thought it was pretty serious. I'm waiting for my clinic appointment to come through. Like you I keep feeling twinges in the area of the lump and I'm paranoid that it's my body telling me something. Logically I know it's probably just that I'm paying attention to it where I wasn't before.

The waiting is really difficult. I'm trying to keep myself busy, stay positive, keep things in perspective etc but it's not easy. I've been tearful too.

Can't really give you any advice but I guess we both just have to hang in there. Sometimes all you can do is put one foot in front of the other. Sending you all my best wishes x

Hi Jane,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry that you are in this unenviable situation too. It sounds as if you are doing all the right things.  Please see my reply to Jolene, as I hope that this can help you realise that  we all feel like this at the beginning. You should get your appointment through within 2 weeks from the date of referral.

I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Jolamine, I really appreciate your message. I guess like lots of peopleI stumbled across this forum because I couldn't sleep, looking for answers online! I know I won't find the answers in google but it's good to know there are supportive people who understand xx

Hi Jane,

That's how many of us come across the forum. It really is very supportive and many of us find it easier to talk to strangers, who've been there, than to family and friends, who are floundering too. Certainly steer clear of Google - it will only serve to scare you more.

Kind regards,
