Breast lump now swollen lymph nodes on neck & base of skull

I noticed a lump at Christmas in my right breast. Went to GP mid January and have been referred to breast clinic for tests. My appointment isn't until 14th Feb and the wait is very difficult. I have a stressful job and have been feeling really anxious. This afternoon I noticed a raised lymph node on my neck (left) and have an achy pain in the surrounding area. There is also quite a solid feeling lump on the lower part of my skull at the back, again on left hand side.

I am now panicking that this is cancer and it is spreading. Anyone else has similar?

 

  • any prospect of ringing the secretary for the people you are due to see at the clinic to explain the change and ask about appointment being brought forward, also asking your GP to push for that as it sounds like you are noticing new symptoms= unless they were there before but you hadnt realised.  Wishing you all the best, and let us know how it goes.
