Hi,

I just wished to say you are not alone in how you are feeling. I am currently experiencing a very similar situation to you as I am only 33 years old. I attended a GP appointment today for a possible lump/hardened mass on my right breast and have also been referred to a breast screening clinic for an appointment a week on Friday. Many thoughts have run through my mind. I suffer with severe anxiety and depression. At least you have acted on this in a timely fashion. What websites have you been using to conduct your research? 

Hi there ,

 I'm sorry to hear you are having these problems.  And I hope they see you quickly and hopefully not worry to much . 
 

I to have an enlarged abnormal lymph node in my left armpit . 
I am male and after initially being told it was a cyst by a gp  . Got referred to have it removed . Only to be told by the dr on the day (who happened to be a breast cancer specialist )  it wasn't a cyst and I needed scans and blood work. So urgent referral for that which took two weeks to get bloods  . And my ultra sound come back as abnormal lymph node and there was 3 he could see . So he then referred me a week later for a ct woth contrast where they discovered a mass on my left breast (I am male just for context ) . And a core needle biopsy . Which I had on the 23rd . 
 

im still currently waiting for the results and not once has any doctor examined or been referred to the 2 week breast clinic . So it almost over a month now from first speaking to the go and I'm still waiting . 
 

I appreciate the time of year is not ideal. But having to wait so long is terrible . For mental health. 
 

I hope your results come back clear .

I haven't heard back at all yet regarding an appointment for the breast screening clinic. I'm unfortunately in a part of the country which is really overrun with COVID in the hospitals so I'm worried I'm being pushed down the list.

I appreciate it's a tough time for those in the medical professions but I'm driving myself crazy over here thinking it could be something sinister.
