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.

    Waiting for initial appointments and results is one of the worst experiences ad you just don't know what you are dealing with. So many posts on here are about waiting. Finally you have a date for the consultant and biopsy which is a step forward. I'm sorry to tell you that there will be about another weeks wait for the results. 

    Once you know what you're dealing with good or bad can at least stop you from going off on a tangent to places in your mind that scare the heck out of you. 

    Just know that there are a whole load of ladies here to support you. You can do it. Others have and I'm doing it now....about to move to radiotherapy so the end of active treatment is in sight. 

    Please keep us updated and of course come and chat if you need or want to speak to us here x
