Feeling terrified

Hi there

New to this posting stuff. I recently found a lump in my underarm. Went to see nurse practioner who then referred me to GP as some of my symptoms were concerning. I knew I had 2 cysts in my right breast but when GP checked me over she found multiple lumps in right breast and a couple in left breast. My right breast is really small, painful all the time and I have itchy nipples which appear swollen. My breast also looks odd apparently. I still have 2 weeks wait to see the hospital. Thanks

  • Hi Karen -11 I can totally understand how you are feeling. I was nervous and anxious before going to the breast clinic in November last year. I found writing down my feelings helped in a journal. Keeping busy with things I love to do. I liked doing art and watching funny movies helped. I know it's at the back of your mind and I did have a few nights were I didn't sleep as well as normal. Sharing you feelings with family and friends helps as well. The waiting is the worse bit. Thinking of you Lesley
