Lump above breast, first appointment today. Can anyone give me any advice on what to expect?

Hello all,

A while a go I felt a lump above my breast (about 2 inches down from my collar bone) I stupidly never got it checked because the thought of it terrified me. I finally gave in and made an appointment because the thought of it started eating me up. I know I was stupid and should have got it checked straight away, I know this. I have my first appointment today and I'm so scared. Can anyone who has gone through this give me some advice on what to expect? I hate the unexpected as if I don't know what's going to happen, my anxiety goes through the roof..

Thank you

  • It’s a very scary time but everyone I have seen has been so helpful and kind and most of all so positive.  I’m on the last leg of my journey which is treatment.  I too am anxious but we are so lucky to have all these treatments available on the NHS.  Good luck to you.
