2 week urgent referral - Breast

I have found a small lump in breast and GP sent me for 2 week urgent referral.  I am now in a waiting game for the appointment but I am so worried and it seems to have taken over my thoughts and struggling go not just curl up and cry.

how do people cope, I have told my husband but will not tell anyone else until I know more. 

sorry about posting but just wanted some where to ask what I should expect on the appointment, will they tell me anything in the appointment or will it be more waiting.

  • I went to my appointment on Christmas Eve. It’s nerve wrecking I won’t lie. My manager had done it last year and she advised me to bring someone with me to the appointment for support which I’m glad I did. You will first get to see a consultant and they’ll ask you questions and do breast examination then they’ll send you to the radiology department for mammogram and ultrasound. They will discharge you on the same day if they don’t find anything to worry about. There is a chance they will do a biopsy during the ultrasound and you’ll have to wait for the result to come back. Your consultant will book a follow up appointment for you. I’ll get my biopsy result tomorrow and I’m very worry and it’s natural to be. Do not google anything it will spike up your anxiety 10 times! Hope you get your appointment soon I got mine within a week of seeing my GP.
