Hi,

I had hoped never to be here again. I found a lump in my ‘breast’ 2 weeks ago and my GP has fast tracked as suspected cancer. I used quote marks because I had a mastectomy 13 years ago following a dcis diagnosis, so my ‘breast’ is a reconstruction. I went to the doctors at the weekend hoping they would say it was nothing to worry about but the referral on the NHS app says I should hear in 2 days about a follow up appointment at the breast clinic. I am grateful that they plan to see me so quickly but the speed makes me even more fearful. I haven’t told my husband yet. He is putting my stress down to a difficult situation at work. Feeling scared and alone.
