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

  • Hi Mancgirl and welcome to the forum.

    I'm not sure what time you're having your mammogram today but I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck and let you know we're thinking of you.

    So many of our members have been where you are now, so you are not alone Mancgirl, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    I'm not sure from your post if you have had this done before but if not, I hope this information we have about mammograms will prove useful.

    If you have any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss with one of our cancer nurses after you've had your appointment, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to support you and provide you with any other information or insight you may be seeking at this time.

    If you feel up to it in a few days time, do let us know how you get on. We'll have our fingers crossed everything for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
