Trying not to worry

So on the 18th of August I saw my GP as I found a lump in my boob, referral done under 2 week rule or so I thought, it appears the clinic didn't get my referral until today, funny that I called my surgery to chase it.

The lovely lady at the clinic told me not to worry but sadly it will be a further 2 weeks as it's taken from time referral came in.

I am fuming mad but also nervous of the result and just want the wait over. Also I had a blood test last Thursday to check for Tumour markers, they are seemingly negative, I assume it's a good sign?

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a lump and are waiting on an appointment at breast clinic. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about the situation and I know most of our members here will have felt the same. 

    Sometimes it can help to talk things through with someone. If you'd like to chat to one of our nurses you're welcome to call them. I'm sure that they will be able to offer some advice and support. They're back i nthe office after the bank holiday on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm).

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
