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

Hello JaneW84 I am on the same boat as you. Found a large lump and now I’m terrified 

Hi Chelbel, so sorry you are going through this too. Have you been referred to the breast clinic? My appointment came through within a few days and it's on the 31st July. The waiting is horrible and all you can do is keep busy. I've been up and down with it. You're not on your own and you're in the right place for support here. How are you feeling? Big hugs xxx

good luck for your appointment xx love Lara xx

I’m hoping for my appointment this week. I’m so scared the lump is pretty big and quite hard albeit moveable but I just have a terrible feeling about this and keep thinking I’m going to die. I’m in such h a bad place.

 laraj I am trying my best to be hopeful I truly am but all I keep thinking is cancer, chemo, death. How do I not do this?  I’m so very sorry I know this is so, so negative. I don’t want to scare anybody writing those thoughts down but this is currently my thought process. I second guess myself all the time. Has it been there ages? Is the fact that it’s big mean that it’s incurable?  Have I completely missed this lump, is it bigger? Is it smaller which then gives me slight hope but I ALWAYS return to the negative and google. I have lost half a stone in a week because I can’t eat.

You can write anything hete we are here to listen and chat we have been there the thought process is normal , I thought my  life was over however it’s the complete opposite it’s only been one year I feel like it never happened.

 laraj  please can I ask the nature of your lump. Size? where in your breast it was? Small/hard? Smooth/moveable? And what grade your cancer was? 
apologies if this is too personal but it might help me. 

Chel 

I never felt any lump , I felt a heaviness and my dog jumped on me and it hurt so that took me to breast clinic , lots day of it’s painfully it’s not cancer in my case mine felt bruised of pressed against .

so when I went to the breast clinic I was told there was a suspicious lump and I sort of knew from the atmosphere in the room they had found something nasty .

biopsy co formed a week later invasive ductal grade 2 her2 negative . The lump when was marked out to me felt hard non moveable it was on left side on bottom side 

These questions are not to personal I’m happy to share anything I can help with xx
