Hi all. I am currently waiting for my appointment at the hospital (next Wednesday). I went to the doctor's a week ago, and have an appointment already and have been told I should be told results then too, so it is all being handled quickly, but it doesn't stop me worrying in the meantime! 

 I have a lump that is right where my breast connects to ribcage (?) along my bra line, right where a wire would be. I check my breasts fairly often, however this lump can only be felt when I'm lay down, so I don't know how long I have had it for. I noticed it a few weeks ago because the area was itchy. I decided to keep an eye on it, as I had no idea if it was new/normal. Well, last weekend it was very painful and so I went to the doctor's. He felt it, said he was sure it was nothing to worry about, but was referring me under the 2ww to get it checked (I am 41). 

 It has been less painful, however it is getting to the point now where it is a constant pain that is making me feel sick. All my bras (even ones without wires) push against it, so while it's not bad pain, it is all the time. I have to wear a bra, and even going braless doesn't really help as I can feel the weight of my breast on it. 

 Anyway, I am worried about it, and don't really have anyone to talk to. There has been a death in the family recently due to cancer, so feel like I can't talk to family, my best friends mum has just been given the all clear from cancer, and now her Dad has just been diagnosed with cancer that has spread to his bones and he is in hospital for emergency heart surgery, so I can't talk to her. My parents live in another country, so don't want to worry them until I know more, and my partners way of dealing with it is to not, until we have news next week

 I am still going into work, it is a distraction normally (I work in special education, so don't get much time to think!) but the constant pain is like a constant reminder so now work is not helping me to forget. I know it is more than likely nothing, but I still worry and don't really have anyone, so this is more of a getting it off my chest (excuse the pun) post. Thank you if you managed to read all the way to the end!
