Hello, I'm new here, I read through this entire thread yesterday before deciding I should maybe post. Sorry to hear about those of you who have had bad news the last couple of months. I had an appointment at at the GP (although I think I saw a "Physician's Assistant" rather than a GP) on Tuesday as I found a lump on my left breast. Well I say on the breast, it is in a weird place, basically right underneath in the crease, where the breast joins to my chest. It feels firm and I can't tell if it moves or not really, the skin over the top obviously moves and I can't really work out if the lump is moving too. PA said she didn't think it felt like anything nasty but for reassurance has done the urgent referral thing anyway. I had a text Wednesday morning confirming they'd be in touch but as yet, no phone call and I'm feeling so jittery about it all. Trying to keep busy etc but I would just like to know really. I'm 35, and have two young kids. My husband is being good, although is sort of relentlessly positive which I am finding a bit annoying although I know he is just trying to stop me panicking. I haven't told my mum even though I normally tell her everything. I just don't want to worry her unnecessarily. She has lost a lot of people to breast cancer and also is a retired GP so will know more than I do. Anyway, any tips on how to cope with this waiting....? Sorry for long post.

Hi mamabird, sorry you find yourself in the position but we are all here to listen and help, and we’ll done on reading the entire thread haha :)

I am 38 and have 2 young children too so I totally understand where you are coming from. 

I found the waiting the hardest, once I new it was easier. It’s easy for us to sit here and give advice on what to do and what not to do but the reality is that we all worry and stress p out the pending outcome, but what’s nice is that we are here to talk whenever you need to and hopefully it makes the wait a little easier being able to talk to people going through similar.

hopefully your appointment will show nothing suspicious but it’s important you are getting it checked. 

hopefully you won’t have long to wait for your appointment.
