Hi everyone. I struggle checking my own breasts for various reasons, I do check them but tends to be a quick once over in the shower every couple of weeks its never as in depth as what you get from a gp. I had an appointment for something else and asked my gp to check for me while I was there, she found a lump in my right breast. She described it as 'golf ball' sized, smooth, moveable, hard. On the 2 week pathway and have my appointment on the 30th, I am so so so so anxious. I got sent home from work today because I just wasnt functioning and my manager could see something was wrong, I ended up having a breakdown and spilling it all out to her.
Im just imagining them telling me I have cancer and 3 months to live or something, I know its unlikely im only 34, no family history, non smoker, dont drink, overweight but -4 stone to what i was this time last year (through excercise and healthyish diet) but I always catastrophise and think the worst.
3 young kids and Im really scared.
Any words of encouragement would be very welcome xx
