From someone who has anxiety too I’d say do whatever settles your mind. If the second opinion says the same and also says no biopsy needed would this help or would you still feel worried? If you think you would be worried again it may be it’s the anxiety fuelling it. After many weeks of stress it is sometimes hard to switch off. I think go with your gut feeling. Maybe spend the next couple of days chilling and see how you feel XXX

i had a call from the NHS with an appointment on the 7th, first of all i declined and said (very kindly) thank you so much but I have private lined up on the 13th. She convinced me to still go on the 7th, she said use the 13th as a back up if you are not happy with the diagnosis on 7th

i now feel sick and it’s a long way off !

I think I’d still be worried if they said no I didn’t need a biopsy. So I think my anxiety is fuelling this. I can’t help but think “what if”… it’s awful. 

that’s a good idea at least your not loosing out on anything by attending the nhs one. You can get two lots of opinions if need be. It’ll will soon come around and positive your have the answers your looking for. Xxxx

Hello ladies! I agree...i would be trying to think that if these boob symptoms were not consistent, that is it possible it isn't cancer? I would presume that with the orange peel and redness/ itching coming and going, that it wasn't?...it must be an awful game with your thoughts though, when the symptoms come and go like that!xxx

Good morning all! Hope you are all feeling more relaxed . I still don’t know what to do about this NHs appointment next week. I am going to have to call the GP again and ask for bloods for this constant dehydration. I can’t help but worry it’s all connected :(

Hey danni. How you doing? Did you speak to the GP? Did you make a decision on the nhs app? I would still keep it and it’s closer than the other one.xx

Morning! How are you? Do you feel more relaxed? I’m thinking the same, I think I have to go to the NHs one as it’s in a week. I’ve woken up in a bad headspace. The internal itch when I press on the boob or lean on it is giving me great concern. Need to keep my head out of the ICB route and try to stay sane for the week x

Sorry was meant to say bubbles xx 

Morning bubbles. I’m not to bad just struggling with my head. I think I’ve definitely got ocd I can’t stop checking for symptoms it’s really distressing as it’s constant. I’m sorry the hear your not great. Have you got any plans today to keep busy? I truly feel for you because the wait is awful. Sending you love xxxx

Sorry to hear that Nhj91, it really is mental torture isn’t it.

ive lost the plot and called the private clinic. I’ve cancelled the lady specialist who I was waiting for and have now got an appointment on Tuesday afternoon

i can see it looks worse daily and I have a horrible feeling my gut is correct on this one. Terrified
