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 had my results today and it’s benign! I’m very relieved and just want to say to everyone here that it’s not always bad news but it’s hard not to assume it is. If you find it very difficult ask your GP to prescribe a short term anxiety relief. The support on this forum is amazing and you’ll always find someone to answer your questions or listen to your worries. I hope your result is ok JoJoBlue a lot of women have gone down this path and many are ok so keep busy and be positive xx

  • Hi Tongvb,

    I am delighted to hear that your results were benign and I expect that this is a great relief to you. One interesting fact is that, although most of us go into an emotional tailspin, as soon as we're referred to the breast clinic, only 20% of those who attend get a cancer diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many end up being benign cysts, fibroadenoma or naturally lumpy breasts.

    Kind regards,
