Hi there, 

So sorry to hear you are going through this. I would suggest you contact the GP again especially considering you are experiencing other symptoms. I’m 21 myself and I’ve just had my appointment at the breast clinic today, I had an urgent 2 week referral and I’m young myself so please be persistent with your doctor. Breast lumps as well as any other symptoms should be investigated by specialist at the breast clinic.

if you don’t mind me asking did your doctor tell you how long you’d be waiting for your appointment to come through? I was referred on a ‘suspected’ cancer pathway so received an appointment within 2 weeks and symptoms were a breast lump, pain and slightly thickened tissue. The best advice I could give you would be to contact the GP and request another appointment since you are experiencing new symptoms. 

I hope everything goes well for you xx

Hope you got on ok yesterday xx

i was originally referred under the 2 week wait but somewhere along the line it was triaged back to 12 weeks. 

just really worried at the moment! Must try contact my gp again today thank you. It’s such a disheartening process constantly chasing people to sort all of this 

Hello Shell ,glad you have been see and nothing obvious found on ultrasound too. Phone them in a fortnights time to see if there are any updates .  6 weeks seems a long time . The waiting is awful,I know ,but try and  keep busy and be positive too. 
I would wear baggy tops if you are feeling that it’s obvious . Keep in touch xxx

Ya it is- not sure what I’m waiting for now either. 

have been wearing baggy clothes the last 8 weeks or so just so frustrating when it’s coming to the time of year for going out - never before have I wanted to stay home as much! 
the other thing annoying me is the amount of running I do no matter what the bra isn’t supportive enough on one side or too small and cutting me on the other - all easy for a nurse to say get a bra for the bigger side but almost impossible to do and be comfortable running in it for 2 hours or longer . 

sorry for ranting now I’m just really upset over it all x 

Ranting is good , get it off your chest ! It must be hard ,crikey ,you must be fit running so much . That’s probably helping you too though ,I would think.Keep in touch now xx

Hope ye all are well. Was back to see the consultant today due t the new appaearance of dimpling! Seems never ending at this point. 

from examining today he said nothing looks too serious but is worried about a growth given the dimpling. He has decided to send me for breast mri now as a precaution . He said should be nothing to worry about. But of course yes I’m worrying! 

Such a long process but the consultant was so helpful today in that he reassured me as soon as I’ve any change or worry about something to ring him and he will get back to me. Hope ye are all ok x 

All ok here thanks ,going in for reconstruction on Monday . 
Stay positive now and hope all will be ok ,xxx

Hi Shell,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I am glad to hear that you saw the consultant today and that he has referred you for a mammogram. Did he say how long it was likely to be before you get an appointment? This is always a scary wait, but you have done the right thing by getting it investigated. I am glad to hear that your surgeon sounds approachable, didn't think that anything looked too serious and has left his door open for you to contact him if you need to..

Here's hoping that nothing untoward is found. Fortunately, it is unlikely that it will be anything serious at your age - I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
