  • Hello Phayes

    I'm sorry to hear that a recent lung check-up has raised some concerns about your breast health. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. Have you now been referred to the breast clinic? Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your appointment. 

    We do have some information on our website about symptoms of breast cancer but I'd say that it's important to remember that breast changes to do always mean cancer and there could be many reasons for the other health concerns that you have. 

    In the meantime, I'd suggest giving our team of nurses a call to talk things through with them. I'm sure they will be happy to listen and offer any support. advice and information they can ahead of your appointment. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Phayes and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
