Referal to breast clinic

Hey... anxious mess here :( 

I went to the doctors on Friday 28th of August and for my boobie... I was hoping theyd say I'd have a fat  boobie as the only way I can describe it is cellulite on my boob... I have dimples in it and there are a few lumps but they move and I've always had quite bumpy boobs no pain or anything 

But because I have a 20 month old baby, I've become health conscious and went to see them... they asked me about my history and both nana's  have had cancer and died of breast cancer at a young age (one at 55 and the other I think 50) my aunty on my dad's side has it too... 

So the doctor felt something that I didn't... and still can't because she said 'is this where it is'... I have an appointment for the breast clinic on Wednesday... but I had to call them to rearrange because of child care... and given the circumstances, I don't really want to take him to the hospital with me or for him to see me upset during or after... so I've booked it for the next Monday when he's at nursary but they said they needed to see me on that day and they can't wait any longer 

I'm just so scared... I can't stop thinking about it, it's consuming... has anyone else had cellulite boobies and they're just going to tell me it's fine? Or has anyone thought they had fat boobies and was diagnosed with cancer? Is it normal for an urgent referal to be put through? I have a baby at home and I need to be here for him! Xxx 

  • Hi Greatergood, 

     

    I'm in a similar position and am worried sick. I suffer with anxiety anyway so really feeling it right now. 
     

    I have an urgent 2 week referral and my appointment is at the clinic next Wednesday. I have a large mass deep in my left breast. It's in the same spot that I had a small lump removed from 10 yrs ago. I also lost my mum to breast cancer when she was 54. I'm usually really vigilant with checking but this year has been crazy and it's just not been on my mind. I started getting some shoulder pain a couple of months ago which prompted me to check. 
     

    I've got a 5yr old and 3yr old at home and am convinced something bad is going to happen to me. I can't even bear to imagine not being here for them - it was hard enough losing my mum in my 20's; I don't want them to experience such a loss. 
     

    I know 90% of lumps are not cancerous but I can't shake this feeling off. The unknown is killing me. 
     

    I really hope you have a positive result; I will have everything crossed for you. Sending love xx
