Day one - found lump, referred to breast clinic

This morning has been a roller coaster. Couple of days ago I found a lump.... was it real  ? Maybe not...maybe it wont be there tomorrow ( monday) crack on..keep your mind occupied..dont think about it. Monday...still there.... and now looking in the mirror theres a crease in the skin...ish... This isnt going to go away is it...  Tuesday...... right Stop being a coward..it might not be the big C.... but do you honestly think a) it's going to go away on it's own? b) you can carry on knowing it's there? ...

Wednesday: 9am emailed the surgery on their askmygp app.

Typed in " I've found a lump in my breast " ..cue tears...

Couple of hours pass while I try and concentrate on nothing much.

Call from clinician at the surgery..lots of questions about where it is, how big it is, does it move, is it attached, any redness, any discharge. 

Referred to breast clinic. Usually two weeks but because of COVID...they are a bit behind ..could be 3 weeks.... . Be prepared they will probably do an ultra sound scan and a biopsy there and then. 

Im not concerned about what they do ...liar... but the

.sooner the better. I just need to know what this is!! And hope it isnt what I think it is. No family history of BC..... everything crossed.

    I'm the one that if it's going to go wrong it will!!

    So far I've had a change if consultant because mine is ill....so surgery should have been Nov 9th at a hospital in Grantham...... that's changed location too. Now going to be at a different hospital.  And because of this damned Covid no hubby allowed to support me by being there. 

    I'm scared too....... up and down like a yoyo. Alright one minute and balling my eyes out the next 

    I started this journey 29th Sept, booked in for surgery Nov 11th.  

    How in Gods name I am  going to walk into that hospital alone next Wednesday us anyones guess. 

     

    Stay strong.
