Breast cancer worry

Hi everyone,

I've seen a few posts here about the anxiousness and worry to get results, the ones I've been looking at is breast cancer. But I've noticed that not many people have mentioned if someone in their family has had it before. 

I don't have any family history for cancer, yet I've noticed a small lump on my left breast. After seeing the doctor he referred me to the breast clinic, I've yet to receive an appointment.

The only thing that is keeping me positive is remembering that we haven't had any cancer in my immediate family. But I just read that it's still possible. 

I'm 40 years old, and I've not had any scares or hormonal problems. 

Any advice or stories, please.would be very appreciated.

    Hi, I’m 38 and have a lump in my left breast, I have also been referred and awaiting my appointment. I also have no family history or any cancers, at least that I’m aware of, I hate all of the waiting but did get a letter from the breast clinic today saying I should receive my appointment by 11th, which is Monday so that will remain to be seen.
