Hiya there!

on Thursday, 07/05, I was referred to the breast clinic, right breast is quite a lot bigger than left, nipple burns and hurts on and off, the little glands on the Areola are sore and there’s a lump in the upper right quadrant.

im obviously reeeeally anxious and I know it differs for so many people but I was wondering how long it was until you received your letter and when you’re appointmeant was(or how many days from initial referral from doctor).

im even more anxious as my partner couldn’t care less and I’m so scared and I have no support It’s not bothered him in the slightest which is just causing more worry.

 

thank you for any help

    Ughh, the wait is awful isn’t it?! I hope yours goes well.

    its crazy how you read that lots of men are beside themselves and then others are just like whatever! Then again mine thought I was over reacting when I was a n labour and asked me if I really had to scream like that lol

    I had a telephone call to arrange the appointment so be sure to leave your phone on loud :) 

    They explained an examination will be done and possibly other tests on the same day.

    I asked if I could bring my husband ( not that he would come with me ) but they said no anyway due to covid regulations.

    Everyday feels like a year to me, I hope you will be ok :) 

    We will both get through it I'm sure :) x
