Have a lump but have no one I can tell

A couple of months ago I found a lump... I left it as a) I already have enough wrong with me and b) sometimes lumps come and go. 

I got checked out 3 weeks ago and the doctor couldn't feel anything but said she would refer me for an untrasound. I then got a call later than day to day she didn't know she wasn't allowed to refer me directly and to make another appointment in two weeks to get checked again. I've just got home from that appointment and the doctor could feel a lump and has started the referral process.

 

The thing is, I can't tell my other half as he gets so stressed out and would make things worse as I'd be worrying about him all the time, my friends have their own problems, my brother and sister have their own problems and my mum's mum (my grandmother) died of breast cancer so I definitely can't tell my mum.

 

I just don't have anyone I can talk to and need some support from somewhere so thought I'd post on here.

  • My mantra that got me through while waiting for scan results was...." it isn't something until it is something " but I do know how difficult it is to stop the mind reeling out of control. I was lucky, I talked to my husband and a couple of close friends...it helps enormously to talk...and I found this forum a good safe space too....

    Theres a thread on here called The good and the bad....I found that helped too....lots of lovely people ️ 

    you can always come here to chat too....the waiting game is horrible isn't it! 
     

    let me know how you get on love x
