Hi everyone I'm new here, and I'm also a nervous wreck! I've read a few posts on here that have reassured me already. And I'm probably sure this question has been asked and answered a lot already so please excuse me if it has.
i recently turned 28 on the 22/08/20, I've had a lump in my right breast (almost bumpy if I can describe it like that) for over a month now, and at first I thought it was down to my HRT (Premarin) as I had a hysterectomy in January (this year) for endometriosis stage 4 and early stages cervical cancer where they removed the remaining of my cervix that was left from when they removed half when I was 25. Turns out as my GP Stopped my HRT and this lump and slight pain, itchy nipple and discharge was still there it wasn't the HRT. I finally got an appointment with her at the GP Surgery thanks to covid yesterday (27/08) and she referred me to the breast clinic almost immediately! She was extremely concerned because of my history, age and the clinical features of my breast. Which made me even more anxious than what I already was. I received a phone call today from the breast clinic and they've booked me in for the 3rd of September (less than a week away and I'm freaking out even more!)
can someone explain to me what happens? As the only downside to my gp appointment is that she didn't give me any leaflets or information, just referred me immediately and sent me on my way.
I'm terrified I may have cancer now in my breasts as I've already been through cervical cancer, and of course because of my age. My husband is scared stiff to touch me as I'm still recovering from my hysterectomy 7 months ago. And now this I can't talk to anyone because I don't have an official diagnosis, my main family have been informed (purely because of history) and they're freaking out which isn't helping and now I feel guilty for telling them.
many thanks x
