Hi all

Hoping for some words of wisdom and calmness (and from what I've read on this forum, you seem to specialise in such things!).

I went to the doctors last week as I'd found a small lump in my right armpit. It moves around a lot, and is probably half the size of a pea. Doctor said it's just a swollen lymph node, and because I'm pretty skinny, I can feel more than someone bigger than me. As I left, he said did I have any lumps in my breasts, and I said no. I'm usually pretty on it, so assumed not.

When I got home, I had a good feel around and on my right breast, there was a lump (along the outside). I wasn't sure if it was breast tissue or something more sinister, so booked in for another GP appointment to check.

Had the appointment today and the GP said she could feel something, and was fairly sure it was a cyst. However, she's referring me to the breast screening clinic for another examination and an ultrasound. 

She said it's likely to be a 4-6 week wait as I'm under 30 (just! - 28) and have no history of cancer in the family.

I've now just totally lost the plot. I'm scared stiff and can't imagine how I'm going to manage until the next appt. I suffer from health anxiety and general anxiety and I just have no idea what to do or think.

So any thoughts or comments much appreciated.
