Hello, 

I had a sore breast (left) on Friday night, went to the gp (I didn't examine, neither did he) and I was diagnosed with mastitis. 

saturday, in the shower, I thought I'd examine. I found a 1cm lump in the same breast. Further away from the painful site. I'm assuming it's lymph nodes.....anyway. I saw my gp again (a different one) and they examined me and said they could feel nodules and another lump aswell as the one I found. I'm actually freaking out. I've been referred to the breast clinic. 

ive felt my lump again today, and I'm convinced it's bigger, although that could be my imagination. I want somebody else to feel it to confirm but I don't know what to do. 

im a single parent, trying to keep it together for my young girls. But I feel pretty lonely. 

my appointment is next Thursday 6th feb. It can't come soon enough 

thanks for reading
