HI, I'm 46, lost alot of close family to cancer so always tend to get referred for the slightest thing. Better safe than sorry i know but always found it to be a pain in the butt and never been worried about it.

This time I feel different about it, I am worried. I have had cysts im my breasts before so lumps arent a new thing for me, but. I found one a couple of months ago, told no one, did nothing, till the other day. It is bigger and harder and it's in my left breast on the outer side and you can see it deformes the outline, slightly. Asked hubby to have a quick check to make sure i'm not just being paranoid. He wasn't very happy I hadn't said anything and to get booked in with gp or he would book me in.

Had phone consult, he asked me to go down see him that afternoon, went, I said to the Dr it's just another cyst right? his reply - to be honest i'm concerned, i'm going to refer you to the hospital. Me -  What??? (not what I expected.) Dr - It's larger than I'd like and quite hard so we need to have a look, you will get seen with in the next 2 weeks. er ok. left feeling a bit shell shocked to be honest. next day get a call from a private number, it was the hospital to book my appointment, following day letter of confirmation.  I was getting worried as all this was so quick. anyway done some lloking on line and found out the seen within 2 weeks is normal so feel a bit better and done a little looking up on cysts and cancer etc. but being careful where i get info from on Dr google. lol. So I go for my apointment on 10th March and understand it's consultation then possibly mammogram if required. Do you get results same day or have to wait as I can find conflicting info on this? I'm now unsure if I am noticing other symptoms now as I was fobbing them off before or whether my mind is playing tricks on me or it's just because i'm stressing over it all. Sorry for the long post. xx
