Hi Mel! 

I know, that worrying feeling is absolutely awful isn’t it! But yes, please stay away from google! I should try to take my own advice really as google and I are baisically best friends the amount I use it. It helped me a lot when I read that the vast majority of lumps are benign and nothing to worry about and that developing cancer in pregnancy is so rare. Nevertheless, until you have someone confirm that it’s nothing to worry about - we still worry don’t we. My check up appointment is Friday 15th November and it’s with my GP. It’s good that your GP has referred you to be on the safe side. But don’t worry as worrying does nothing (easier said that done, I know). Did your GP say anything in terms of what it perhaps could be? Chances are - you’ll be absolutely fine! But keep me posted.

Hi Phoebe, 

Thanks so much for your message! I'm sorry to hear you're going through this as well as I know exactly how you must feel. The waiting makes it worse, doesn't it? Glad to hear you got your GP appointment though, hopefully yours will be able to explain a bit more as mine didn't really say much other than it's related to my breast and yes, there can be a more serious condition...and left me leaving the surgery with a 100 thoughts all of a sudden and about one million questions unanswered. I wish at least she would have said things like "there could be other things, not so serious" but she didn't...hence my panic. But I guess the GP's job is to refer us to specialists if they cannot put a diagnostic themselves which is fair I guess. But the way we wait for that letter changes everything...it did in my case especially. I'm quite hormonal at the moment and sensitive to everything so this thing is just too much to handle...we tenf to worry a lot especially when we have this dark prospect of things, just puts everything else into a different light.

Please let me know how your GP appointment went and let's hope for the best, is the only thing we can do right now. Strong and patient! 
 

Lots of hugs xx
