Hi Amy, 

I am also in the same boat as you. I'm waiting on a breast clinic appointment too and I'm very nervous about what to expect. I'm only 22 so I've never had any of these tests before, let alone when to a clinic on my own without my mum. My biggest fear is getting bad news and being on my own for it. 
 

I hope you don't have a long wait for your appointment and get good news x 

Hi. Im really sorry you're going though the same too. Its so scary and the covid19 makes it more difficult. Last time i went to the clinic and results, my mum was with me. I dread being alone this time. But honestly, the ultrasound is easy and i didn't feel a thing with the biopsy. Im more nervous this time around because its not a lump, my breast feels and looks different. Thank you for your reply. I really hope you get good news too

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. 

Hi I've also got my appointment for the 25th of June. I'm 20. I had my baby 7 months ago and my symptoms started 3 months ago so I'm hoping it's hormones or even an infection would be better than thinking it's cancer. I have no physical abnormalities but they have pain round the sides and my armpits are having some pinching pains. Also one of my boobs look bigger than the other making my nipples a bit wonky looking.
 

I have my fingers crossed for you and lets hope we both get some good results! 

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. 

How's everything going everyone? My apt is on Wednesday and I'm sick to my stomach, haven't slept in days. I cant wait but I can wait if you know what I mean.

How's everyone feeling?

How's everyone feeling? 

Hi. I feel quite numb today. I had a mini meltdown the other day too! I keep going over the 'what ifs?', my family tell me not to but i can't stop myself. Yeah, im feeling ill too, my life doesn't feel normal now. I know what you mean about the appointment, part of me needs to get it out of the way but at the same time i really don't want to know. I really hope things go well for you on wednesday and puts your mind at ease

My mum keeps telling me not to over think it but how can you not? Don't you think it's a little bit like torture? I am no longer worried about having BC, it's the spread that worries me.

Your apt is Thursday? 

Hey ladies, I've got my fingers crossed for you both this week. I really hope everything goes well. I still haven't got my appointment yet, the wait is absolutely torture, it will be 2 weeks on Wednesday since I've been referred but I'm in Scotland and after a bit of research, we don't have a 2 week wait time frame so I have no idea when I'll receive my appointment. Phoning Wednesday for some clarification. 
 

I totally understand your meltdowns, last weekend was one of my worse days/nights yet. I could not stop crying, telling my mum and boyfriend that I don't want to die, I know that it's BC isn't it obvious and wouldn't take on any positive comments at all. Feeling a bit better this week but I think that's just because I've been busy with work. 

You'll both be in my thoughts this week! Xx
 

Yeah thursday, 9:20. Its defenitly torture, i feel so ill with worry. And i worry about it spreading too. I think ive accepted its likely breast cancer now, but if its treatable. I really don't know how i'll cope if its not. Another worry of mine now, is that it could be inflammatory breast cancer, but will have to wait and see.

I would phone the clinic, thats what i did and they were able to tell me when my appointment is. 

Thinking of you both. I'll let you know how i get on

Definitely chase the appointment up. 

My appointment is at 14.45 tomorrow so I'm thinking tomorrow isn't going to be a good day. My stomach is just twisted and it feels like I have crushing weight on me.

I'm struggling with the normal stuff at the mo, I can't focus on anything else and everyone around me is noticing. 

If I'm this bad now, I don't know how I'm going to be when they tell me what there suspicions are tomorrow. 

Melting down tonight, dreading tomorrow. I wish this wasn't happening.

Awww, i know the feeling. Just take it 1 step at a time. And do breathing exercises, i find they calm me down a bit. Here if you need to chat

Well today's the day and all I can imagine is being handed a death sentence. I really don't know how I will begin to explain to my children and Im pretty sure this worrying is not helping my pregnancy. Scared stiff is an appropriate phrase. Got to wait till this afternoon, have nothing positive left, was hoping the lump would just disappear haha.

Good luck today. I'm praying everything is positive for you. Try remember not all lumps are cancers and many people of here have had positive outcomes after finding a lump. I know how hard it is to remain positive, I'm the biggest negative nelly about!

Deep breaths, you've got this, you are made of strong stuff!! X 

I really appreciate it, just wondering whether it is appropriate top faint when entering the hospital as I feel very light headed.

I cannot believe how much I am dreading this. I think going through life thinking these things happen to other people... Bad bad idea.
