So i went to the breast clinic yesterday and 2 deep lumps were found on my mammogram, the doctors said they expect the result to be cancer. What are survival rates im scared as i didn't even know they were there i found a movable lump in my armpit and every one said they weren't concerned, so to hear ive probably got breast cancer floored me. Im so scared im going to die now and that its spread. Ive to waut a week before i get the results back

  • Hello Waite40 and welcome to the forum. 
    I'm sorry that you've recently needed to go back to breast clinic after your mammogram picked up some areas of concern. 

    We know that this period of waiting for test results can be really difficult and it's natural to feel scared and worried about what happens next. I know it's easeier said than done but try to take things a day at a time and not look too far ahead as this will only make you feel more anxious. 

    Here at Cancer Research UK we have a team of nurses available for you to call and I'm sure that if you give them a ring they'll be able to offer you some advice and support ahead of your results. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays). Please do give them a call. 

    I hope that you have some news soon. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
