am i putting my health at risk

found a lump in my breast saw my GP lump around 2cm.  i am going to breast clinic on thursday. I have a once in a  lifetime holiday booked for the weekend my GP told me to cancel my holiday i disagreed and have not cancelled GP horrified kept telling me my health is more important than some holiday, in my mind 2 weeks is not a concern results could come through but nothing going to happen in the 2 weeks i feel i would be sat at home worrying listening to the clock tick by, my idea enjoy my holiday which has been in the planing and booked for 18 months and deal with results when i get back i am worried breast clinic will have the same reaction as my GP. So am i stupid!

  • Hi ya ..

    Well it really has to be your decision ... but I'll just tell you about my journey .. my first 4 call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... the last one , I knew was different.. I was 95 % sure it was cancer .. for personal reasons l never got it checked .. 22 months later got a chest infection and an x ray for that, picked up my breast cancer ...

    It was a grade 3 ... but I was still unsure what I wanted to do, so my surgeon gave me bout 10 days to think about it ... I decided to have the total right masectomy .. thinking I'd probly left it too late ... but that was 2017 and I'm still here nearly two years later ... 

    All I can say, is think very carefully .. you are right appointments for results and tests usually take 2 weeks .. I'm glad I waited , but l had to realise if it had gone the other way .. l would be the only one to blame ... so whatever you chose , don't look back with regret .. make your choice and stick to it ..I'm still doing well ... 

    If you go, have a wonderfull time .. if you stay, don't regret trip ... if you have insurance they should cover your costs for cancer diagnosis... good luck in whatever you choose ... Chrissie x
