Hi all, I have been referred to a breast clinic after my doctor found a lump in my left breast during a routine examination. I live in the US for work so don’t know quite what to expect and whether it will be different from the UK and I don’t have friends or my mum here to go with me as I have in the past so am feeling a little anxious but trying to be sensible. 

I am 39 years old and have been referred to breast clinics twice in the UK earlier in my 30s - the first time I had a mammogram and biopsy which were clear, the second time a mammogram which was clear. 

Am trying to not get overly worrried and be calm but I think being in a new country has made it a bit more stressful.
