Waiting for breast clinic appointment

Hi. Ive spoken to my doctor today about my breast problems. Its hard and has a dent at the bottom. My doctor said she would send me for a breast clinic appointment straightaway instead of seeing her first. I feel slightly better now i've taken the first step. I am worrying about a lot of other things too. Results, going to the hospital alone. I've had an ultrasound and biopsy done on my other breast 2 years ago, so im ok about them, but am nervous about other tests.

  • 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

  • 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? 

  • 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?
