Breast Cancer , very scared waiting for referral

Hi Everyone,

I am very new to this and also very scared. I have noticed on the lower side of my left breast there are 2 patches where it looks like my breast is being pulled inwards. If i stand with my arm above my head it is very noticable and it never used to look like this. My nipple on this side also leaks at times and quiet often feels sticky. I got my husband to have a look to check i wasnt imagining it and he spotted it straight away.

I went to the doctors yesterday and she also spotted it straight away. She has refrered me to the breast clinic on the 2 week wait system and all she could say was try not to worry but she doesnt have xray vision which i understand.

I am so scared has anyone else had this kind of systems and it urned ot to all be fine.

    Could this week go any slower. I can’t sleep and spend half my time looking at and prodding my breast around in the vain hope it will have all gone away.

    I was like that when I found my lump night before Good Friday. Kept feeling to see if it was there or if I had dreamt it. Totally agree with the lovely ladies on here the waiting is the worse. Think I have been through every emotion going from crying to why me? I had an appointment yesterday to “find out my results” only to be told inconclusive so now need to take lump out. On the positive note may not be anything nasty and that’s the hope I am clinging on to. Try and keep positive but I know it’s hard x
