Hello, 10 years ago I had Breast implants, after this time my mum, grandma and two aunties have had breast cancer! Last Wednesday I started feeling pain in my left breast and I found a lump. The pain has spread to my armpit and is really really sore! My doctor found the lump straight away and send me for an urgent referral which is tomorrow. On the referral she wrote suspected cancer which as you can imagine was really upsetting. However I am really grateful that I got my appointment so fast.
What I wanted to ask is has anyone attended the breast clinic with implants and does this differ to a lady without them? What actually happens at these appointments?
I’m obviously really scared and I’m not sleeping at all. Everyone keeps telling me it will be fine however I feel like this almost invalidates how I feel.
thank you so much for listening x
