Welcome to the forum, Mamabear8.

I'm sorry to hear that you found these lumps in your breast. It sounds incredibly stressful and scary, especially with the changes you’re noticing so it's understandable to feel frightened while waiting for your referral and answers.

On the postive side, I’m glad to see you’re already communicating with others on the forum. Many of our members have experienced similar anxieties and sharing your thoughts can sometimes help ease the worry a little bit.

While I can't offer medical advice, if you feel like things are changing rapidly, it might be worth contacting your GP again to update them on the new developments to see if they can expedite your referral or provide further guidance.

Hang in there, Mamabear8 and please keep us posted on how things go. 

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi and thankyou for the welcome x I have my appointment it’s for next Friday and I’m trying so hard to distract myself but it’s not really working x I will definitely update after the appointment xx feel like a fraud really as I don’t really know what’s going on with me when everyone else on here is suffering but I know only the people on here would know how I’m feeling x

Please don't feel like a fraud Mamabear8. You have lumps and are worried and that is completely understandable and something so many have been through so we get it.  I am glad you have your appointment for next week which will hopefully give you some answers.  It is such a difficult time and feels so far away but try to keep distracted and don't be too hard on yourself x

Thankyou lovely xx been sat here all day wondering if it is cancer how do I tell my little ones? How much do they need to know? Their father walked away will be 2 years in November so they only have me. They finish school for 6 weeks tomorrow so won’t really have any time one my own to process everything. They are pretty full on anyway because of their disabilities they need me to be strong. I keep feeling the lump hoping it will all of a sudden go squishy or shrink and disappear but it doesn’t x I read what everyone is going through and think of my life so far which has been full of all kinds of trauma from start to now that I have had to be so strong to get through and survive and I’m only now being referrrd to the right places to process and deal with everything so far. I finally feel like there is a light at the end and I am strong enough. And then this lump and I with all my heart don’t know if I am strong enough to fight cancer too, I just don’t x all you fighters on here are truely amazing strong people and I am serious in awe of you all x
