I finally got the courage to visit the GP for a breast lump that I found in my left breast a few months ago. I kept brushing it off as it being a part of my breast tissue but decided to get it checked anyway and now I have a 2ww referral for the suspected cancer clinic, my appointment is on the 13th. I’m only 18, turning 19 next month and just started my first year at university- I’m very scared and have cried since I got back from the GP. The doctor suspects that it’s just granular breast tissue but she needs a second opinion. I have no history of breast cancer in my immediate family but now I’m terrified, I have a lot of work to do for my course but all I can think about is the worst case scenario.
Is is there anyone in the same position? or had been? I really need some advice on how to deal with the wait.
