I think it's normal but it's very worrying I worrying my self sick I have my fingers crossed for you xxx

Hi

I'm in the same boat as you, I've been getting pain in my left armpit and around the same the breast, I've had an enlarged lymph node in my neck to,  I went to the gp who referred me on the 2 week pathway and my appointment is the 2nd December. I'm a mum to 6 the youngest being just 6months old, all my health issues started after the birth of my youngest and I'm absolutely terrified its going to be cancer. I haven't told anyone whats going on, not even my husband as I don't want to worry anyone, I thought i would wait and see what the outcome is and then if I need to tell people I will, I don't want to worry everyone unnecessarily. I have a family history of cancer which is putting me more on edge, my mum recently got diagnosed with bowel cancer just before the first lockdown, and my auntie (mothers sister) had breast cancer, my mind is in overdrive. I've also been experiencing a sore throat, ear pain and chest discomfort which is making me fear the worse and jump to the worst case of it being breast cancer which has spread to my lungs/neck/throat. I'm so worried and keep thinking of how young and small my kids are, and how they still need me. I've been trying to remain positive but sometimes when the house is quiet and the kids are busy the dark thoughts creep in and I'm consumed by fear and what ifs. My appointment seems a lifetime away when in reality its little over a week, but that week is going to be the longest wait I've had to go through. I no exactly how your feeling and what your going through. Have you recieved your appointment through yet?

It's a very scary thing I've been feeling pain in other places but don't no if it's just because my minds going over time over thinking things! I hope all goes okay for you thinking of you. I've not had my appointment yet I hate the waiting game Xxx

Hello, 

I'm in a very similar postion 26 with a lump in my armpit and breast waiting for my appointment. 

My minds in total over drive. Some days I'm like it will be nothing then other days I've convinced myself it's the worst. I have a young daughter and just keep thinking of her it's awful.

I hope you get your appointment soon and wish you all the best. 

I no it's an awful feeling isn't it I'm the exact same I just keep thinking of my children xxx 

Hope you get the all clear xxxx

Hi just wondering if you got your appointment yet. 

I had mine on Friday and after a breast exam, 2 mammograms, an ultra sound and a fine needle test, they decided they needed to do a biopsy. I'm now having to wait on those results which I'm even more anxious about as I had hoped the one appointment would have cleared everything up and I'd be told it was nothjng to worry about. 

Fingers crossed everything is OK with you.
