Breast lump & referral to breast clinic - worried ☹︎

Hi all, 

Just writing on here as I know some of you will be feeling the same as me at the moment! Found a lump whilst showering on Xmas day, went to the Doctors today who felt it and said it wasn’t mobile (which I don’t think is a good sign) and has referred me to Breast Clinic! 
Petrified, I have a 9 year old daughter and keep thinking what if it’s breast cancer, what if I die, I’m terrified for her ️ ️ . I know I need to keep busy and positive as I don’t know anything yet, but it’s such a worrying time! My Mum literally got diagnosed with breast cancer around 4 months ago too. Don’t really know why I am posting on here just know that people will understand x

    So sorry to hear this. 

    I too am absolutely petrified as I noticed some nipple discharge on Xnas eve and have been referred to the breast clinic by my GP yesterday. (Just received a letter this morning for an apt on the 10th), I"m not sure how I will cope due to constantly worrying about what it might be as I have three boys that are my world.

    I am trying to stay positive and not use Dr Google, but it's so hard, I totally appreciate where you are coming from.

    Xx

    Hi TracyM81

    i totally know how you feel, it’s positive that you have an appointment through at least you know that you are going fairly soon and will have answers, I’m sure it will be nothing to worry about but I know that is easier said than done! Try to keep busy, that’s what I am trying to do as my mind wonders if I don’t. 
    Please let us know how you get on, have everything crossed it will be positive news for you x
