Found a lump

Hi everyone, I found a lump a few weeks ago in my breast and put off going to the doctors for about a week as I was scared. U went and felt nervous as to what they would say, yes he felt lump and when I said I have also had fluid leak from my nipple, he asked for me to have a urgent 2 week referral appointment, which I have this Monday 1/4/19.  Im very nervous about going and have not really thought about anything else, I’ve tried to keep myself busy which is fine until I stop.

Ive only told my partner, and even then that was about 2 weeks after I found the lump and got the referral, as didn’t want him to worry. It’s so hard being alone and not having a real person to talk to, I mean my partner says positive things all the time but it doesn’t help, bless him. I would rather think negative and be told positive news then think positive and be told bad news, it that strange. I guess that’s just how my mind works. 

  • Thank you for the welcome xx

    I feel close to a panic attack about 3 times a day at the moment, I really need to take control of this anxiety.

    And yes Dr Google is no help whatsoever in putting my mind at rest!!

    Kind of dreading tomorrow but know the ball has to get rolling ASAP.

    Will update tomorrow,

    And thank you again xx

  • I found a lump about a week ago, right breast.  I have breast clinic appointment on the 12th.  I've told a couple of friends who have had the same experience but I can't bring myself to tell my Mum or Son yet, they will worry so much and my mum isn't the most positive of people. I'm probably driving myself insane with Google. Nice to find this site and and know I'm not on my own in my thinking.

    Majority of the time I'm thinking positive but have a few wobbles!

    best of luck ladies xx

     

  • Hi OurLou

    i have had issues a few times this year. No lumps but thickened tissue and nipple changes. I've been to the one stop breast clinic on two separate occasions now and have had the all clear! 
    I know it's easier said than done but please focus on the fact that almost all lumps and bumps are benign so the stats are in your favour. Don't make the mistake that I did on both occasions and Google ! I made myself ill with worry so until you are in the hands of the experts you will only torture yourself. 
    I wish you all the very best and please let us know how you get on at your appointment x

  • Thank you so much for your reply, made me smile and made me cry all at once!! Plus I was on Google. Thank you for your well wishes and distracting me. 

  • I'll be thinking of you so please stay positive. Now No googling ok!!!
