Waiting for 2 week referral to the breast clinic, so anxious and can't stop crying. I really hope my appointment comes through soon

I found a dent in my left breast last week, I didnt think much of it until I googled it , I feel my breasts regularly but I only noticed the dent after I got out the bath and just happened to spot it in the mirror, it was quite noticeable at 1st but went less noticeable. I managed to get a gp appointment two days later, she was lovely and gave me a examine. She said because of a change I should be sent for the 2 week referral, which I expected. I saw her referral to the breast clinic she said she couldn't feel and could not feel a discreet mass, but breast tissue felt dense but felt as if the skin attached to underlying dense tissue. Which sent me google again, not good. I have been so anxious and filled with so much dread, I haven't been able to stomach more than a couple of bites of food each day since I found it. Nothing usually puts me off my food. I can't stop crying. My partner is so supportive and is telling me to try not to worry but I literally can't help this overwhelming sense of dread and the what ifs. I am only 39 and got a 11 year autistic daughter, the thought of leaving her is so overwhelming. I really hope my appointment comes through soon and I get the results I want.

  • Hi I’m in the same position from visit to my gp this week to an urgent 2 week referral for potentially cancer of the vulva area. I didn’t even know you could get cancer there until I researched. I have not stopped googling to find pics to see if similar to my situation , can’t sleep, silently crying and worrying . I understand the wait is so bad but I hope we will get through it !
