Referred to 2 Week Wait clinic - Breast Cancer - scared!

Hi everyone!

On Friday evening I noticed a swelling/thickening around the top of my right breast next to my armpit crease, I thought it would go away over the weekend but hasn't so I booked to see my GP this afternoon (Monday) and she's referred me to the 2 week wait clinic, she said she's 'hopeful it's not but just to rule it out) I'm absolutely frightened, automatically think the worst and I have a 2 year old son I cannot bear to leave behind, I burst into tears at the thought. I'm 25
has anyone had similar symptoms, my right nipple has also gone tingly this evening. 
Any reassurance would be welcome. 
thanks!

  • Hi, 

    I can't help much but I'm in the exact same place as you. Saw my Dr last Thursday and I have an appointment with the breast clinic on the 9th.

    My little boys 15 months and its a horrific feeling isn't it :(

    I've had pain in my right breast for just over a month and found a lump underneath where your bra wire sits etc and now I have pain at the top of my breast where it meets my chest. Almost feels bruised

    I just keep thinking of age and how cancer doesn't always have to end in the worst etc and its not always cancer related xx
