2 week urgent referral for suspected breast cancer

I found a lump 2 weeks ago in my armpit. My dr has referred me to the urgent suspected cancer team and my appt is next week. I haven't told anyone because it is just before xmas and the lump may be nothing. I don't want to worry everyone over nothing but at the same time i am worried what the 4 hour appt may contain and, if they can not rule it out then and there, can i manage to hide it over xmas? My question is should i tell my family or not? I just don't know what to do for the best. What did others do?

  • Hi, sorry you have this worry. I think it’s important that you tell someone , doesn’t have to be everyone , but you will need some support on the day or if you have to wait for results. You shouldn’t have to do it alone. My friend came with me.  Sending lots of love xx
