Breast lump

Northshouse

Afternoon all,

I've  been referred to the Breast clinic by my GP after finding a lump on my right breast. She said she was pretty positive it's just a cyst and not to worry at all but my minds racing.

My appointment isn't for another week yet and its an urgent referral. I'm trying to take my mind off it but nothings working. 

Thought  I'd pop on here and see how everyone handles the waiting. I'm sure my GP is correct in her evaluation but I can't shake the bad feeling.

    Hi 

    that's a tough one 

    I wish I had the answer 

    all you can do is keep busy 

    if your working that will fill in some of the time 

    please stay off dr google 

    I sorted out every cupboard in the house 

    I decided if I was going to be in trouble at least the house wouldn't need any tidying 

    I had a call back from my routine mammogram 

    never expected it 

    unfortunately the waiting goes with the territory 

    I went for the apt had a biopsy and ultrasound 

    nothing conclusive waited again

    more biopsies waited again 

    I had no symptoms no lump to feel 

    the outcome took about a month large amount dcis and a 4mm stage 1 invasive ductal cancer 

    no lymph nodes involved 

    I needed a mastectomy had reconstruction at the same time 

    I have never been ill or felt ill 

    good recovery no other treatment necessary 

    that was 3 years ago 

    lots of support from my partner 

    but you have to deal with it yourself 

    im a terrible worrier and it's hard but until you know try not to waste your time with what might be wrong
