Hello, I've just posted on another part of the forum as I'm terrified. It's so easy for us to convince ourselves of the worst. It's wierdly reassuring to read others feel like I do. Let us all stick together on here and get strength from each other xx

Hi blossoms. 
 

thank you for replying. I've read so much on google, which I know is a HUGE mistake. I've pretty much diagnosed myself, probably incorrectly too. I think it's just human nature to fear the worst. I hope you are ok, have you got an appointment soon? X

Good luck for Monday. Hope you are ok. I'm here if you need to talk xx

Thank you and same for you x

You should complain about first doctor for not examining you. I know it's really hard but try to stay distracted till next appointment and they do mammograms etc. If it is bad news I can only say they have good treatments now I had her 2 BC 13years ago and I'm still here it was in my lymph nodes to. I really understand how scared you are it's such a horrible feeling and having to wait and it is normal to think the worse. What ever the result you will get through this. I doubt whether the lump has grown in that short time they can develop slowly. Focus on what makes you happy talk to friends because it's horrible when your holding everything in. Don't google anymore I really hope it's not bad news remember breasts can have cysts and lumpy areas especially around your period good luck for appointment! 

Thank you so much for your reply. I just can't seem to calm down. The hospital have rang and asked if I would like a cancellation appointment, so I'm being seen Wednesday now. So one less day to wait. Can I ask, did you have any other symptoms when you were diagnosed? Glad to hear you are doing well, and thanks so much for the words of encouragement.

I know it's the hardest thing I'm stressing about my bowels I keep telling myself to stop but my brain keeps going over and over I'm even planning my funeral you got to try and laugh I've got mental health as well so my head doesn't shut up. Try and keep busy I always distract myself with other people's problems I find that helps. With me I had no lump just a little ridge or something but I kept getting drawn to don't even think it was connected but I kept touching it. On mammograms nothing or ultrasound. Then I started having a sticky discharge then after months that turned to blood coming out of my nipple still hospital kept saying nothing wrong just something to do with my ducts they were really dismissive. That were my symptoms it's a long story but I wouldn't give up in the end they took a duct out and I had duct all carcinoma 3 operations later they found the cancer. It's a horrible place to be in it really is and all the waiting etc to be honest I partied all through my cancer I was 39 hadn't had a life was in DV relationship for an eternity had four kids to bring up on my own. I think you have to think right this could be bad so I would prepare myself for the worst and how will I deal with it. Try not to be scared it could be something simple and if it's bad you can deal with it if I could you can !!! Us women tend to have lumpy breasts and pain especially before period. If it is bad news just do what I did I had a coming out bald party I lapped up all the attention I tried not to think of worst outcome because being scared is what will make you ill stressing about the future etc read positive stories, cut out meat and dairy apparently cancer can't survive in alkaline. Try and stay in the present right now and think I'll worry if I get a bad diagnosis and if it comes too that you will deal with it !!! I will support you if I can treatments aren't like the old days like I said I had it at 39 I'm 53 now there are lots of positive stories and they are close to finding a cure there are new treatments now was reading last week. Focus on the positive if you have it see it as a challenge say bring it on and smash it say I'm going to beat this . I really hope it isn't I really do but if it is we will support you thru it. Your young they will give you best treatments!!! I hope I haven't made you feel worse I just don't want you to be scared because stressing will make everything feel worse. I'm planning a holiday in my head I just keep visualising myself on a beach give yourself something positive to hope for. Please keep me updated all the best for your appointment I've got one Wednesday as well fingers crossed we will both be ok x

Hi, and first things first, you've done all the right things by persisting to get advice and now a referral.  Im hoping that someone tells that first GP to reconsider how they respond to women presenting with lumps. Im wishing you well for your visit on referral. I persisted in getting my lump checked out, and got mammogram, ultrasound to take it further, then was offerred biopsy on same visit. It was a lot to take in, but so worthwhile as I went on to get my surgery fast  and am now recovering, and will start anastrazole oestrogen blocking meds once I get rid of a chest infection I picked up whilst run down due to stress of my diagnosis. Really hope you have a good clinic visit, and get good advice whichever way it turns out. Yes we all stress and fret, but this is a brilliant place to come and  chat with others, even when you feel its all coming on top of you, someone usually has something helpful to throw into the mix to bring you through it - all best x

Hi, thank you for your message. I have never experienced anything with my breasts before medically, so wasn't sure if it was common place to examine them or not, but I absolutely should complain, I'm going to get the diagnosis over with first I think as I can't concentrate. He was really dismissive and barley looked at me during the appointment. 
mom so sorry to hear you are having a rough time of it. I'm sending you all the love in the world. 
mill keep you posted with my results. Thank you x
