Breast lump found on right breast , some skin dimpling referred to breast clinic and the wait is the worse part. Breast is very tender and heavy on one side. Looking on here is very re assuring rather than tell family that you are waiting
We all find the wait to be seen challenging. You will usually get an appointment through for the breast clinic within 2 weeks from the date of referral. You have done the right thing by getting this investigated. As Lara said, the majority of people referred to the clinic will not get a cancer diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be cysts or fibrous changes. Even if it is cancer, it is treatable and treatments have improved dramatically in the past few years.
Lara is a year post-surgery and I have had 2 bouts in the past 14 years. Despite this we both now live life to the full.
Please keep in touch and let us know when your appointment comes through. We are always here for you.
Many thanks for the update. This is fantastic news. Did they make any comment about what they thought that the lump was? Don't forget to keep checking your breasts regularly.

There's no need at all to feel embarrassed. We are always told to get any concerns checked out. It's far better to be given the all clear instead of being toldthat you should have come earlier.
