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 

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

Hello ,nice to hear from you . Very positive experience,they managed to get 200 ml of Saline into the expanders . Feels tight and a bit bruised , but great . Feel more normal ?! already . Just had my first shower too . Bliss . Can’t do much til the 4. December which I find frustrating but it’s worth it . Having more saline inserted on 19.December .   
Once it’s done ,new bather and back to swimming. 
Onwards and upwards ,xxx

Hi Rumpelstiltskin,

I'm glad to hear that it went well. It's not long till 4th December and with al that goes on at this time of year, it should pass quickly. I'm surprised that you didn't get back to swimming with a prosthesis. I still manage to do this. Definitely onwards and upwards.
