Breast clinic referral

Hi 

I have an appointment on 14th July to get my breast checked I am really struggling I can't get it out of my head that I am going to get the worst news possible I am so anxious I can't eat I feel ill and am constantly checking for changes to my breast I feel like I want to scream like I am going mad would be nice to hear from people feeling like I do knowing I'm not alone x

  • Hi I'm awaiting an appt on the 13th. I too feel sick to my stomach and constantly imagining the worst case scenario. I have an 8 month old son. You're not alone x 

  • Hi

    Im sorry to hear your in a similar  situation I hope everything comes out okay for you x

     

    it's an awful time waiting and wondering but I think what is more scary is if it is bad news it is going through the waiting and wondering again of how bad things are please keep in touch and let me know how you get on xx

     

    Im sorry if I sound very negative but it is how I feel and finding it really difficult to snap out of it x

     

  • I too have been referred, yet to recieve my appointmemt but i only saw my gp yesterday. I am a bloody nervous wreck though. Have 2 children who i am trying to home school. But am in bits just waiting.x

  • Hi, 

     

    I am in the same boat then you ladies. My app is on the 14th too. Found a lump last week saw the GP yesterday. Absolutely petrified as i also have young children. Actually finished feeding the youngest 5 weeks ago. The last months have hit me really hard and I have not been feeling myself. 

     

    Its so terrifying this waiting isnt it. I have to say my GP even though she felt the lump she really thought its nothing to worry about and just send me for my own reassurance. But what if ... 

     

    I am unable to really function and look after the kids properly .... shocking... luckily my husband is very supportive 

     

    Sending hugs to you all ladies

     

     

     

  • I'm feeling you. I woke up in shock this morning and knew straight away that not much school work was going to be achieved. 

    I had a cry with my husband this evening,  really feel like my body just repeatedly lets me down. 

  • Could not agree more. 

    Since easter I have been off. Thought my bowl was troubling me so had a colonoscopy which came back fine. Twisted my ankle which is now fineish. Husband and me had a really bad stomach bug last last week wereas we could not move now recovering and then a bloody lump in my boob (after a total of 5 years of breastfeeding!) Its just scary and shocking. 

     

    Lets keep our fingers crossed they turn out to be fine. The wait is horrendous... i managed better with the colonoscopy as i didnt feel a lump. 

     

    Will get through it ... i keep ringing the hospital to bring the app foward but there are no cancellations ..

     Babbling on here 

  • Babble away!  I could do with a good babble to distract me. X

  • Lol

     

    Did your GP give you any indication of what she thinks it might be?

     

    I have been prodding myself so much the boob now hurts :( and i think i have started imagining lumps and pains in the surrounding area ... 

     

    Just wish i could put it in a box and leave it there 

  • I wrote out a long reply and it then disappeared. 

     

    I have 2 dimples under my left breast, swellinh and had slight burning sensation for a few momths but put it down to hormone changes. My gp is great but she wasnt very reassuring, she made idle small talk once she was feelimg my breast. said i should hear from the hospital within 2 weeks and that she hopes it turns out to be nothing. In my head i think its most likely nothing, but you cant help think about the worst case. 

     

    How do you feel about going to the appointment alone? I am quite a confident person but really dont want to do this alone. X

  • I think its perfectly normal to suddenly be hyper aware of your body when waiting this sort of wait. X
