Hi, I've found this thread while googling. It sounds like I've got the same problems as you but with shooting pains in my nipple. I've got an appointment at the breast clinic on 1st March and I feel like my life has slowed down. I'm permanently on the verge of tears and am constantly aware of the lumpy area in my breast.reading people's Comments on her has been reassuring though x

Hi Lizzielou,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sure that you have already found out by reading some of the posts here, that the way you are feeling is perfectly normal. This is an anxious time and the unknown is always difficult to cope with.

I am glad to hear that your appointment is not too far away and you will soon know what is causing your problems. Irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better once you know. I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you next Tuesday.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you.

Do please. We are always here for you.

Hi Lizzie,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing similar symptoms to a lot of us on this particular thread. 

As Jolamine has already said, it's a very scary and anxious time and it's at times like these that this forum really offered the support I know I needed and hopefully will be helpful for yourself also. 

I want to say try not to think about it too much as the worrying doesn't help, however as a constant worrier myself (my parents nickname for me is "the what if child") I know that it is much easier said than done. 

Hopefully you will also have a similar outcome and that it will be something quite normal like a cyst, but if it is anything else, the support from the lovely people on this forum will help you through the rough times.

Hope your appointment on the 1st goes okay and please do let us know how you get on.

Hi Lizzielou,

This must be very difficult for you. Do you have a friend that you can confide in? As I said before, we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

I am so pleased to have found these posts as they describe my own symptoms exactly and I found the forum by googling. I was due to have an excision biopsy last week but it has been delayed until 23/3 because I caught covid.

I think the waiting is the worst part but finding this community is really helpful

Hi Lizzielou,

I am so pleased to hear that you got the all clear yesterday. This must be a tremendous relief for you.

Kind regards,
