Hi, I know how you feel. I've had a lump for over 6 months before I saw help . Previous experience at breast clinic put me off going. Mine feels quite large deep and back of breast. Had breast clinic appointment last Thursday. Mammogram done and then ultrasound. Mass with calcification found and lymph nodes swollen so core biopsy taken in both areas . Was told it was highly suspicious so am expecting the worse . Have appointment this Thursday and was told to bring someone with me. Now my mind is playing tricks on me . Feel sick ,everything hurts now! Worried what with Christmas and Covid treatment will be delayed. Just want to get treated. Think the waiting is the worse. Hopefully you will get seen soon . X

Hi selinab, sorry about your situation, it's so worrying isn't it but fingers crossed you will get some good news! I know what you mean about everything hurting, I'm the same now and pointing every symptom at breast cancer, I'm a nervous reck. The covid situation has crossed my mind too if did need treatment I'm worried I won't get the care I need. I'm so scared. Lots of luck for your appointment on Thursday xxx

Hi,  I don't have any advice but I also found a big lump in my breast with a lump on my collar bone also, so I'm right there with you.  I've a triple breast assessment tomorrow and waiting for result from a biopsy on the collarbone. I'm in ireland but i had to pay privately to be seen quickly  .if this is an option for you, but f not try your best  to distract yourself for your wait time   .

I'm also a mum so I understand that brings a whole entirely different element to everything. Much love to you xx

Thanks. Lucky I was seen quickly . Just hoping the news is the best type of news it can be and not the worse case cenerio. Doesn't help that it's on my sons birthday . Not sure how to deal with telling them all as I know I won't be able to eat and they already wondering why I'm not eating much or having my usual glass of wine! Can't think of anything but results! I hope that you will be seen quickly . Just can't stop feeling it trying to guess how big it is as just feels like lump on a hard mass. Good luck for you up coming appointment. Sending hugs and luck. X

Good luck with tests tomorrow. Sending hugs and love xx

Hi lou, good luck for your assessment tomorrow, hope everything turns out good for you, let me know how it goes. Yes I have tried to go private aswel but couldn't get a scan til Jan. I can get an examination this week though, I'm thinking a specialist may have an idea of what it could be as gp didn't really know. I just want some reassurance as waiting til Dec 22nd feels like forever away. Trying to be excited with the kids for Christmas but just want to cry. Sending love and lots of luck to you Xxxx

Aww, there is no good time but such a shame you have to go through it on your sons birthday.. Really hope you get some good news. I'm the same I keep feeling it trying to judge the size, texture etc. I've googled non stop since I found it. Here if you need a chat any time. Send love and good luck xxx

Very strange reading your post as I've just posted one pretty similar.. & my appointment at the breast clinic is the 21st! I am also a mum & I just can't help but worry now the time for the appointment is coming closer.. the lump is also in my left lower breast but I dont have swelling in the lympth nodes. I seen the gp at the beginning of September so it's been a very long wait so far.. now panicking that  they will carry out futher tests meaning I just won't be able to relax/enjoy Christmas with my son. Hope your appointment goes well & I will be thinking of you also as the day approaches xx
