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

  • I'm sorry to hear that, so glad you've got your appointment I'm just waiting to be contacted for mine! 
    oh gosh I'm so sorry :(  it's a horrific feeling wouldn't wish it on my enemy! I just keep staring at him and hugging him, think I'm starting to get on his nerves now haha! Will you please let me know how you get on? Wishing you all the best. That's a good way to look at it, we've come so far in treatments now!
