Mammogram on Wed

Hi everyone,

I have a lump in my breast of about 2cm. I don't smoke, I drink very little and I am reasonably fit but I am so scared that I have cancer. I have my tests on Wednesday. 

I guess I'm just after a little bit of comefort as all my family is in Manchester but I live in London so I'm a bit alone. My family are so loving and caring but they are just so far away. I'm really scared that depite living a healthy life, I'm just unlucky and I have no idea how long I have had the lump. So if it is cancer, I'm scared it will be at a late stage. I'm 34.and I have no symptoms apart from the lump as of yet.

For anyone else going through this, I wish you all so much love. This is one of the scariest times of my life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Thanks all,

Mancgirl
