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

  • So I posted anonymously on a local woman's community page. I posted about my concerns and a lady who actually runs the clinic reached out. I messaged her and explained my concerns. She was really lovely. She kindly looked at my images from previous scan and basically said she can’t be 100% but she feels reassured by the images I have a fibroadenoma but to possibly expect a biopsy tomorrow as it common practise as I’m 32. I hope it turns out well girls  how is everyone? Xx

  • Hello lovely. Im so pleased this lovely lady has managed to give you some reassurance. Please take in her words and know that we are all here for you... You are stronger than you think and you can do this. Sending hugs xxx

  • 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 

  • I’m so pleased you’ve got an appointment Tuesday. Please try and remain positive there are other benign issues it could be. I know it probably seems ages away but Tuesday will come around fast. You can do this bubbles xxxx

  • Thank you so much, can’t stop crying today x

  • I’m always here for you. I’m forcing myself to at least go for a drive today. I feel so guilty still feeling down but this has all been underlying for months before this scare. Feel like im going nuts lol xxx

  • Thank you so much, it’s means so much that you are still thinking of me when hopefully you are moving on. Do you have any plans for the weekend? Some normality for you? Xx

  • The wait is horrific and I really feel with you on the wait to get answers. It’s so hard I know but try not to think of the worse as there are more benign causes  than bad. 

    I forced myself out to see a friend and I’m at my mums at the moment with my twin nephews and sister. I’m trying to break the cycle of compulsively checking my boobs which is hard as my brain has made it a routine now. I’ve had my anti deppresents upped so I’m trying to be patient and ride it out. I’ve decided I’m going to wait for the discharge letter from the clinic and decide after that based on her comments and weather she fully acknowledged my previous scan weather to get another opinion. If she acknowledges the image I showed her I will leave it. I’m bloody nuts lol rationally she most probably has and I’m being my usual worrier self. Xx

  • Hi I’m trying to work on my head as I’m really unwell in that respect. How are you doing? Il be thinking of you tomorrow. Let me know how you get on. Sending love.  Xxx

  • So sorry to hear you haven’t had any relief :(

    I’ve had a very bad day. Pretty much written myself off. Panic attacks all day. Boob is worse, constantly tingling and aching, itching and weird. All looks more inflamed than I started with and so my hopes of a positive outcome are pretty low. It’s not good! Thanks for thinking of me xx
