Breast Clinic Referral & Blood tests

I’ve had an urgent referral for the breast clinic and have my appointment through for next week. My GP said it wouldn’t be within 2 weeks but it has actually come through for less than 2 weeks after the referral. Which I’m pleased about but of course that’s made my head spin a bit!

I haven’t found a lump, but one breast is abnormally larger than the other, hurts constantly and it feels like there’s more mass in the centre. Plus my GP has asked me to go back for more blood tests.of course that’s added to my concern .

I feel abit like I’m making something out of nothing, but equally I know something isn’t right. I’m not really asking any questions, just wanted a safe space I guess!

  • Hi SummerGirl,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear that you have an appointment soon - I know what you mean about it making you worry more, but try not to read anything into this as it's not possible to do so; it may simply be that they had a cancellation or a shorter waiting list.

    There is some information here about what to expect at the breast clinic, in case this is helpful.

    This is always a safe space to write things down, so I hope it has been a little useful to do so, and I hope the appointment goes OK this week.

    Wishing you all the best,
