Thank you, I really appreciate your reply. I just think I'll feel like an idiot and they'll be annoyed if they too, can find a lump.

I feel so guilty either way.

I know I need to go, but feel awful wasting their time.

They really won't think that.... honestly and they will probably check both and your armpits while you are there so you will know everythings ok.

I hope so. I just have visions of walking in, them saying they can't feel anything and then saying bye.

What time do you go?

Everyone who visits there hopes for that.

So if they do that, you have only taken up 5 minutes of their time anyway.

15:30. I'm stressing myself stupid. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me, it means so much xx 

Wish I could go with you for support.

Any hospital appointment is stressful but at least it hasn't grown alot and then you would be much worse.

I've been through the cancer hell and it was found quite early the first time so treatment was easier.

My motto is if it's there find it early and the chance of being cured is so much better.

I'm sure you won't be in that situation... but just in case x

Oh bless you, I'm sorry to hear your situation. Here I am stressing about attending an appointment when I know I'm fine, I should thinking of the people who are stressing that they're not, or worse. 

I hope you are on the road to recovery and thank you for sharing. It has put things into perspective for me xx

I have met quite a few breast cancer survivors since my diagnosis, at coffee mornings and pilates cancer rehab class, all would tell you to go and get checked.

Mine was bowel cancer, as far as I know I am ok now but you can see why I think everyone with the least symptom should get checked xx

Absolutely. I'm glad things are looking positive for you.

I'll let you know how I get on xx
