Hi, I'm so sorry your partner has left now, that must be awful for you. I am also waiting for a breast clinic appointment with similar symptoms, saw my GP yesterday so waiting on appointment letter. I can't offer any advice having never been through this before but I'm here with a virtual hand hold while we go through this

Hi Wendywoo1973
 

Im so sorry you are going through this alone. I have also been referred to the breast clinic (my appointment is Monday) but for slightly different reasons. I also have shoulder and arm pain along with breast pain and this morning my nipple was inverted. I'm also tired all the time. 

Just wanted to say Hi and that I'm here if you want to talk, rant, cry etc. Please don't feel alone we can along with Scarlett79 hold each other's hands through this horrid time. 
 

sending love and hugs 

Sarah

Thankyou so much is such a worrying time so hard not to let anxiety overwhelm. I got my appointment through by telephone two days after seeing GP then 12 day wait for appointment so you should hear soon. 
such I strange feeling I can't stop myself feeling lump. 
How are you managing? X

Thankyou Scarlett and vis versa I'm here for you too. Don't think I've ever felt so scared but I guess need to remain positive and probability is we will be ok xx

I'm honestly not sure how I feel, alternating between forgetting all about it, feeling very matter of fact about it all and expecting the very worst case scenario and panicking that I won't see my children grow up. I know the last one is irrational and that even if it is cancer the chances are that it will be ok. It's all normal responses I guess

So reassuring to hear you say that as I'm exactly the same. I am have similar thoughts to yourself and then give myself a hard time as I thinking that way. You are absolutely  right it is a normal response we need to be kind to ourselves. ️. 

Hi both, 

Im so stressed with everything I've called in sick to work for the 1st time ever. Haven't managed to get out of bed all day. My mind keeps going to worse case. I have managed to change my appointment so it's now tomorrow but I didn't sleep at all last night. 
 

Feel so out of control ️

Sarah totally understand that's good you managed to bring your appointment forward as time really does go slowly. I'm in work but my mind not really not focused . It's so hard not to catatrophise. We  just got to do what we can if that means staying in bed that's ok. 
my emotions are all over the place. Keep just thinking just get to appointment. 
Thinking of you hope you manage to get some rest today. 

Hi Wendy woo sorry to hear your going through such a hard time hopefully it is cysts . I have had cysts and abscess very sore try to stay positive and if your partner of 3yrs chose to leave you at this worrying time then I think you probably better without him I wish the best and hear if you need to talk .

Thankyou he has been back in contact now full of apologies same on cycle making out I'm taking my stress out on him !!! Not really the support I need but Im just focussing on Fridays appointment. The lumps do feel very tender was that your experience of a cyst/ abscess? One feels very big approx 6/ 7cm hasn't gone down following my period. Pain in my shoulder is bad can't lift up my arm and hurt when putting clothes on and has been like that for few months and doctor put down to rotary cuff injury but that was prior to finding the lump. Can't see how I would of not felt a lump that size before so hopefully issues aren't linked. I think I have scared myself by googling !!
