Hi Lisa, the majority of lumps are non malignant I had mine removed and they were benign.  The two week referral is normal as if it is the worst case scenario then things will move quickly.  So don't think that because you are seeing someone faster that it means the worst.  Try and calm down, think positive and keep busy.  My husband has cancer and I ve learnt that worry and panic get you nowhere!!  There's a lot of breast ladies on this forum, I'm sure they will pop by and help you if they can.  Take care, Carol

No advice just your not alone I’m waiting on an appointment for breast screening as I’ve found a pea size lump near my nipple dr thinks it’s just breast tissue or a gland but sending me to be sure I’m scared to but have calmed to a bit last few Days trying to be postive x

Thanks Carol... thanks for that nice to know the two week thing is normal.. 

It’s scared isn’t it... one minute I’ve convinced myself it’s nothing and I’m ok and the next I’m in full blown panic mode...not helped by the fact that my partner refuses to book our cruise until I’ve has results ( just in case) ....when is your appointment? How long did it take to come through?? 

It really is . Try to be positive though. I haven’t even got an appointment yet. I was referred on Tuesday and it’s normally within 2 weeks but my hospital are running behind and it could be longer plus I go on holiday the 15th July just for a week so I bet it’s after my holiday. 

Hi Lisa,

sorry to hear what what you are going through. I am very similar at the moment although my left breast has been quite painful which pushed me to check for lumps, found one the size of a grape which is quite tender. I have been the same as you... calm one minute and all over the place the next assuming the worst! 

Got an appointment at the breast clinic Wednesday which will be 2 weeks to the day since I went to my GP. Hope you’re not left waiting too long for your appt and lots of luck  that everything is fine! 

Thanks for the reply. Today was a bad day.  Struggled to keep going. Cried for most of it.  Feel like my life is over.  Please let me know what happens Wednesday as I’ve no idea what to expect ... do u get results same day?

hi Lisa, this was me two weeks ago.

i spent 15 days crying. I paid then to go private after being told it was 8 weeks waiting list.

the lump I had was fat necrosis which was caused by trauma but the doc said that sometimes you don’t remember bumping it / banging it.

oh the relief.  I too thought my life was over I couldn’t concentrate on anything.

im thinking of you & wishing you good luck I hope you get seen soon x 

I really feel you Lisa, today has been a bad day for me too. I think Sunday’s don’t help. I’m 33 with 3 small children, 2, 4 & 7, and can’t help my mind trail off into scary thoughts. I can tell you though, that over the last 2 weeks I have been on holiday and despite still having these moments I have still spent some lovely, quality time with my family, so despite the day you’ve had today, I am sure you won’t feel like this for the whole 2 weeks. And of course I will let you know what happens Wednesday, I suppose it depends what it is as to whether I get the results the same day or not. My appointment isn’t until the evening. And to top it off my husband goes working away again tomorrow for another 3 months! Typical timing eh! 

Thank you so much Mavis for sharing your results, it spreads hope (and despite my many googling I haven’t actually come across that!). 

good luck Robbo, and please let us know how you get on.
