Hello caitlin

I understand how your feeling, I have no answers for you but I'm having similar issues.

Ive been suffering with deep intense pain in my right breast on and off for several weeks, I did a self examination last Wednesday evening and found a walnut sized lump and what felt like a mass of hard tissue.

I rang my GP on Thursday am and was seen Thursday afternoon, she put me through as urgent cancer pathway clinic and today I received my appointment for Thursday. 

Like you I'm thinking the worst, but try to stay positive so many women receive clear results. 

Hope you get on ok!

Hey Andi, 

Thankyou so much for getting back to me. I'm sorry to hear that you've also found a lump. I'm glad you've been referred quickly, did your GP seem concerned?  
I am trying to stay positive, but just keep finding myself bursting into tears at just the idea of it being something bad. I will let you know how I get on tomorrow at the breast clinic and will be thinking of you aswell on the day! Hopefully we will both be fine, as you said many people go and find out it's nothing serious. Always here for a chat  , cait xx

Hi Cait, 

I had something similar when I was 22 - I was also referred to the breast clinic and my hard lumps turned out to be fibrous tissue. I understand how worrying this can be but just try and remember that most women who attend these appointments do not have cancer. 

Best of luck xxx

Hi cait

Lovely to hear from you, I am worrying and thinking the worst but just keeping it to my self as I dont want to worry my family. 

Fingers crossed we are both ok! Be positive

Let me know how you get on, my app is Thursday 14th tomorrow at 2:30.

I'm 46 years old and mum of two. 

Best wishes Andi x 

Hi Sophie, thanks for replying I really appreciate it! 
That's great news and makes me feel much better about my appointment tomorrow. Did you have an ultrasound or mammogram at the breast clinic? 
Thankyou! I will post an update tomorrow of how I get on, my appointment isn't until 4:15.

Hi Andi, that's completely understandable that you don't want to worry your family, as it could turn out to be nothing, fingers crossed for us!
I feel much better after posting in this forum, as I don't feel so alone now.  My appointment is not until 4:15pm and I'm feeling very anxious about what they're going to say. I just never expected to worry about something like this at 20, so it's really frightened me. Please keep me updated on how your appointment goes and stay positive. Are you taking anybody with you? Cait xx

Hey 

I thought I had posted a reply Cait but it doesn't seemed to have shown!!! 

Anyway start again- Yes my 16 year old daughter is going come with me tomorrow.

Are you taking anyone? 

My partners at work. 

Will keep you posted.

That's good and yes I am, I have my mum coming with me. I will also update tomorrow - praying it will be good news for both of us ️ Speak soon Andi, cait xx 

That's good you have your mum. Try to relax this evening at least we will know more tomorrow.

Best wishes Cait xx Andi 

Hi Andi, sorry I didn't see this reply until now. I'm thinking of you and hoping everything is fine in your appointment. Please let me know, cait xx 

Hi Cait

All good, I had a mammogram and ultra sound scan, no sign of any cancerous tissue apparently I have alot of fibrous tissue close to the surface of my breast which is what I could feel. 

Thinking of you and hope everything is as positive
