2 week pathway

I have seen my gp on Tuesday regarding my right breast as it’s tender to touch and is even tender under my armpit and doctor has said it feels fuller then the other one and said she can feel something there that is lump like and has referred me to the breast clinic on the 2 week pathway she can’t say what it is without the breast clinic looking and doing tests but is being referred on the 2 week pathway for an appointment something to be worried about

  • Hello Emma29 and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear what was found during your examination, and for the worry you have about being referred on the 2 week pathway.

    A lot of our members who have been in a similar situation have also been referred this way, so try not to panic or think the worst if you can. Much easier said than done I know, but one of the benefits of being referred this way is that you will be seen sooner and get answers more quickly.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their stories and advice but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Emma29 and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
