Hi

i I found an indent in my breast a couple of months ago.  It’s an obvious dent when I raise my arm, not there when static.  I can’t feel any lump behind it but my breast tissue feels very ‘broken up’ if that makes sense.  I’m 46, and based in Aberdeen.  Oh and my mother had breast cancer at 50.

i saw the nurse at the gp and she examined me and agreed with above.  So referred me on the 2 week cancer pathway.  This was the end of June.  I received a letter to attend a mammogram, which I did on the 25th July.  I didn’t have any other checks.

I eventually spoke to someone at the breast clinic and they confirmed I’m on their list but have a 13 week wait, so it’ll be end September before I’m seen.

She confirmed that I’d get the results of my mammogram then too.

i am sick with worry. I’ve been through the breast clinic process about 20 years ago when it was a 2 week wait and I was found ti have a benign tumour, this was the other breast.

i feel like I’ve had one escape so this time it’ll be cancer, totally irrational I know.  I also can’t get out of my head that someone has seen my mammogram, knows it’s cancer and I’ve to wait 7 weeks to be seen.  I can’t stop thinking about it.
