Hi Nails,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that you have already seen your GP about this. Has he referred you to the breast clinic? Many of us have naturally lumpy breasts, which can make it hard to detect lumps. Try not to keep feeling for the lump, as this will only make the area sore. GPs tend to say things as they are and  they don't tend to hide the facts, so this sounds like good news. 

Of all the people referred to the clinic, only 20% will get a breast cancer diagnosis and not all lumps are cancerous. Most lumps turn out to be benign cysts, or due to fibrous or hormonal changes.

I sincerely hope that your GP is correct and that all turns out to be alright for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi thank you for your reply, he has referred me just to be certain....its a worrying time 

Hi Nails,

It's just as well that he has referred you, as you'd never be happy that he was right otherwise. You should normally get your appointment within 2 weeks from the date of referral. Most of us find this one of the hardest parts of our cancer journeys. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found, but do please let us know. Remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,
