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.

    Hi there,

    I'm in the same position. I went to the GP today as I found a lump a couple of days ago. I'm now waiting for an appointment at the hospital in the next two weeks. 

    My imagination is running away with me.

    Hi Moominmamma,

    I am so sorry to hear that you find yourself in the same position with all the worry that this entails. It is always an anxious time until you know exactly what you are dealing with and this is also when our imaginations play havoc on us all.

    Try to keep yourself as busy as possible to take your mind off what is happening and try to avoid looking things up on the internet.You will only manage to terrify yourself by looking at the worst case scenario and convincing yourself that this pertains to you, but this is most unlikely to be the case.

    Do please let us kow how you get on at your consultation. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
