I have my 2 week referral breast cancer appointment tomorrow. Feeling really nervous

I  have my  urgent 2 breast referral appointment tomorrow - I found a lump on my breast 4 weeks ago .I had a clear mammogram in January this year and the lump seemed to have appeared from nowhere - it’s tender to touch and my armpit aches too.

Im really nervous about my appointment. What are the chances of it being breast cancer ? Would it have shown in my mammogram which was only 23 weeks ago ? Amy help or advice appreciated x

  • Hello Dixiedot.  I don't really think that anyone can tell you what the chances are that it is cancer or not, but what I can tell you is that a lot of the time, breast lumps are harmless and non malignant.  I think that everyone instinctively thinks 'cancer' when they find a breast lump, but very often, that is not the case.  Good luck for tomorrow.
