good morning, 

im brand new to these forums but thought it might help instead of putting it all on my other half as I know this has been majorly worrying him too. 

I’m 28 and a mum of two beautiful girls. I found a hard lump nearly a month ago which came up out of no where, it doesn’t hurt, it’s not able to move. I managed to get an out of hours doctors appointment as by 20 minutes after my doctors has opened all the appointments were taken. Typical. They referred me to the breast clinic. Appointment arrived fairly quickly,, my appointment was with a breast surgeon but was told the correct person to do an ultra sound wasn’t available to had to wait for another appointment. Got my ultrasound appointment again very quickly. The doctor had a quick look and called a nurse in for a second opinion and they took 3 core biopsy’s. They said it doesn’t look like a cyst but for me to try not to worry which I’ve learnt over the last month is a lot easier said than done. This appointment was last week and I got a letter through last Friday saying my appointment was for a week that day (so now tomorrow) is this normal protocol? I’ve spoken to other people who have had similar situations and they recieved their biopsy results in the post as they were all clear. 

I’ve been going out my mind with worry. Was just wondering if someone else has had this happen and what their story is. Can’t be more thankful for the NHS though for how quickly they have handled all of this. 

Sorry for going on, just feels easier to type and get it off my chest as at times this conversation is the elephant in the room which we try to avoid. I feel really scared,
