Hello, and thanks for being a listening ear as I'm not a talker and keep smiley and positive among family and friends.

I'm 53 and for just over 3 weeks, I've had pain in my left breast. I've checked myself and unsure whether I can feel any lumps or not. I thought I did but went back over the area and then couldn't feel anything. Anyway, as the pain hasn't subsided, I booked to see the GP and she said she thought she may have felt something but went back over it and couldn't feel it again, but she referred me to breast clinic on 2ww.

On the referral form, she ticked the 'fixated lump, skin tethering' box. I have just got my appointment through for the 12th August.

Usually, I have the attitude of don't worry until there is something to worry about ( I had a large lump a few years back that turned out to be a cyst and didn't panic while waiting then) but this time, I'm worrying myself silly. I don't know if it's because I'm in constant pain with this so I can't 'forget' about it as such if that makes sense. 

Anyway, I've waffled on enough but know you will all understand and thanks for reading. 

Much love to all
