Hi!! Literally just joined to reply to you as im currently going through very similar and am really struggling to deal with it! Like you i have a history of breast lumps, and in the past have been reffered to the breast clinic for tests to be told i have fibroadenomas. I am 27 by the way and also have two boys, just turned one and my eldest is five in feb! I noticed a burning/achey feeling in right armpit in around September 2018, and ignored it for a while as just thought it was an ingrown hair etc etc, but the pain never went away and here we are in january and noticed a couple of breast lumps, went to docs and have been reffered to breast clinic for appt on monday the 21st. I am so so worried about having breast cancer, i feel physically sick thinking about it and when i look at my sweet little boys all i want to do is cry as I don’t want to get ill and ever ever leave them!! So just wanted to say you’re not alone and i truly hope we are both ok, best of luck at your appointment sweet heart, im struggling to cope with the worry of it all so can really relate to you x 

Wow r lifes sound very similar my little boy turns one on thursday and my eldest 5 in april ive broke down so many times looking at my youngest carnt for my 4 year old he will worry , best of luck with your appointment lets pray were both ok . So hard not to think thr worst n diagnose your self with all sorts isnt it . X

I was like that, work was a place I could escape from my thoughts and over thinking. Once people knew what was going on they said they knew something wasn’t quite right with me but didn’t know what. We have many masks that hide a lot. It’s when we get home and take off the mask that it all comes to a head and tears and mind wandering happening. It is so true you don’t feel it but we are stronger than we think. So much support on here though and that’s what sees us through it because it’s from people who have gone through it  x 

Hi Beachbabe, I definitely know what you mean about work I'm just finished and had no thinking time. I'm in a good place at the moment for my apt Friday, actually not even worrying which is exceptional! To be honest there are so many scenarios in my life that I'm scared of but when it comes I cope this scenario is no different. It makes us the people we are today, to be fair it restores my faith in humanity to know there's so many caring people out there. That we can all support each other without even knowing one another it truly is amazing! Ali - I hope everything went well today, do let us know how you got on. Jo x

Must admit the ladies on the thread The good and the bad are amazing ladies definitely worth you dropping in on them! They helped me so much and like you say don’t really know them but in time you do and that’s another reason why I stayed on here to keep in touch with people and find out how they are getting on! 

Ali hope your ok please let us know x 

HI Ali,

I hope that your appointment at the clinic went well today. Did you have some tests done and, did your consultant give you any indication of your diagnosis?

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Everyone, 

The clinic went well first of all I had an examination by two nurses, who advised they believed it was a Fibroadenoma.  Sent away for an ultrasound, who said it looked to be breast tissue all good.  

Then came back for the results and got asked to remove my jumper again, less smiles which was alarming after checking she went to get a consultant they came in and examined me - all clear .   Turns out my breasts are lumpy, and the nurse just wanted another opinion to ensure all was well.

I hope everyone else gets positive news, thanks everyone for the well wishes and support.

Hi Jo,

This is fantastic news. It was great to get your results straight away, without the additional worry of another week's wait for results.

I only wish that everyone could get positive news too.

Take care and don't forget to check your breasts routinely for changes.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
