Hi guys, 

I don't really know what to say but I guess I'm just here because I feel alone and really scared. 
 

I found a hard immobile lump in my breast and it's an odd shape. Went to the GP and he said whilst it's likely to be fibroadenoma (as I also have pain) that he is concerned about it so he's given me an urgent referral to the breast clinic for tests. I've been researching like a mad woman so I know what to expect, but my boyfriend and I were so hoping the GP would tell me it was nothing to worry about and when he didn't we both just burst into tears in the car. 
 

im 30 years old and I haven't had babies yet but we both desperately want them. I'm also 8 months away from finalising a career change and qualifying as a mental health therapist. The placement I'm on is counselling those bereaved by cancer and I'm just terrified. 

i can't sleep, can't think of anything else. My partner has been incredible, but he is terrified too - he said whatever it is we will deal with it as a team, but I can see it in his eyes how scared he is.

i know none of you will have answers for me, but I don't want to feel alone with this. 
 

wishing luck to all of you going through similar worries right now xx
