I ended up calling the clinic because im so scared and thats when they told me my appointment. I wish i was coping better but i don't know how! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for yours. I think although im terrified i need to know now, even if it is cancer. I then just want to hear its treatable. Sorry, i go on! I feel a bit better talking to others

I might do the same if I don't hear soon as that has now been about 7 days since the GP put the referral in. I am not coping great either, especially when everyone around me keeps saying it will be fine but there is a possibility it won't be so I don't actually want to here it will be fine as that isn't making me feel better I think it's frustrating me more. I know they are just trying to help as best they can. I have been having lots of ups and down, this is the most I've cried all year! 
 

Definitely, I just want to know now. All this uncertainty is too much. I have found this site so helpful as it is great to speak to others who all understand what we are going through. If there is anything you really enjoy doing, e.g., baking then definitely try do that! I found when I was baking I completely forgot all my worries for a few hours. 
 

I'm always here for a chat or a vent whenever you are feeling down or struggling to cope so feel free to message me anytime, as I find talking really does help.

Yeah, one minute i feel ok the next im crying! And to make things worse, my breast is feeling more painful. Same, if you want someone to talk to im always ready to do so lol. 

I would be happy if it was an infection too. I thought it might be mastitis or hormonal at first, but my symptons didn't go. I haven't had kids so my dr ruled out mastitis. I hope we get some good or reasurring news on 25th. Good luck with your appointment

I hope it helps to know I'll be going through the same as you that day. Try and reassure yourself that it's very very unlikely it's cancer especially since we're so young and I think I read somewhere else only 1 in 9 people who go to the clinic get the bad news. Also breast pain is very rarely a symptom. My breasts get worse when I'm stressed or think about it ^^. It's hard to do things you normally love doing when you have this much panic about something but I'm always here for anyone if you need a chat. I gained enough empathy after my son was born aha. 
 

Maybe some hormonal changes happen when you're in your 20s that not many people talk or think about? That's what I'm telling myself to get me through to next week. I'm glad people my age are going through the same thing but at the same time it's very very s***. 

It helps to know im not alone. Yeah, the more i think about it the worse it gets! Im trying to be 'normal' as possible from now til next thursday then suddenly it all comes back. But at least we'll both hopefully have an idea whats going on after next week

Same here. Definitely, if you ever wanna chat before or after the appointment my messages are always open! Do let me know if it's good news! And same to the girls above. Stay strong girlies! 

Hi, 

Sorry for jumping on this thread. I have similar problem. 

I found a lump behind my nipple a few months a go and the doctor asked me to take antibiotics and return in two weeks. Which I did, he then said that as far as he could tell he thought that the lump had gone down. 

The lump has got bigger since so have visited a different gp and she has referred me to the breast clinic and my apt is on Wednesday. 

I am so scared and cannot take me mind off the worst. Since we lost my brother to cancer, I cannot help but fear the worst. I'm 31 with four children under 9.

I have just found out that I am pregnant again, I haven't even told my partner as I'm worried, we decided that four was enough children but contraception isn't always 100%. 

So nervous and I expect the worse. 

Hi. Im sorry you're in the same situation. I went to the clinic 2 years ago with a lump in my other breast. It turned out to be a fibrodema (sorry i can't spell it!). It was beniegn. They say most lumps are non cancerous so hopefuly yours will be the same. Like i said before, im always around for a chat.
