Doctors referral says suspected breast cancer

I posted earlier about concerns around Pagets / breast cancer and am struggling to not panic. I have just opened up my doctors app to check my referral letter has been sent and the GP has put me on the urgent 2WW but has written, “suspected breast cancer.”

Now I’m extremely stressed. In this a normal thing for them to write for the two week wait ?

This is all so frightening

  • Hi. Sorry to jump on the post. I'm in the same situation and go to my breast clinic tomorrow, I'm so anxious and would like my partner to be woth me however I also fear I seem "dramatic" needing support over something that may be nothing! X

  • Good luck L Water I really hope you get good news. Your partner will probably have to wait around a bit as it normally takes 2-3 hours with the different tests etc. you could always ask them to bring a big coffee and call them in if you think it’s going to be difficult. When I went previously for breast thickening the surgeon told me instantly that she didn’t think it was anything to worry about but still had all the tests to confirm. This time I don’t think it’s going to be quite so easy. I’ve never felt so frightened . Really hope you get on ok
