Urgent referral for breast lump

Hi all,

I’m new here, hope you’re all doing ok - thanks for reading my post. 

it’s 2.40am and having real trouble sleeping at the moment as the panic has set in - I’ve been ok up until now.

I noticed some lumpy areas in my left breast and got an appointment last Friday at the docs, who have referred me to the breast clinic under the 2 week period (still awaiting an appointment). 

in 2021, I found a lumpy area in my right breast in the inner lower quadrant and had a ultrasound which revealed it was a lipoma. I mentioned this to the doc last Friday who didn’t examine this breast. I have now realised that what I assumed was the lipoma in the same area is now possibly an additional hard lump and I’m now worrying myself silly - I don’t remember the lipoma feeling so hard but have assumed for a long time it was the original lipoma. 

I know it’s worth awaiting my appointment at the breast clinic  rather than going back to the doctors as they can’t do anything, it’s just trying to manage the anxiety and the horrible spiralling thoughts.

please let me know if you have any tips for handling the worry for anyone else in the same boat - thanks for reading my early morning ramblings!

love to you all x

  • Will be thinking of you ahead of results. Your hubby may not know how to deal with what’s going on and must hate seeing you in such distress and worry. He might be blocking it all out. But you do need some support during this time. Maybe you could ask him for a cuddle? Or perhaps you could sit down over a cup of tea or coffee and just ask what’s going through his mind and explain how you’re feeling. Sending lots of love. Xx
