Breast clinic referral for lump

Hi, I found a lump a week ago, went to drs last Monday & got a breast clinic appointment on Thursday 11th. A 2 week wait sounded quick at the time but I'm finding not in reality! I'm struggling with the wait & everything advises to keep distracted which is pretty difficult being in lockdown from Covid with nothing really to do! Has anyone else felt the same while waiting being in an emotional rollercoaster? I'm okay one day then absolutely freaking out the next. Also nervous that I've got to go alone due to Covid & will be receiving results alone with strangers. I'm feeling an immense pressure to be positive & I want to be but am not feeling it. I'm disappointed in myself not being as strong about this as I thought I would be.

  • Hi there

    i feel your anxiety. I am in exactly the same boat. Went to GP yesterday with golf sized lump in breast discovered after losing weight. I have been fast tracked but now waiting. Feel sick with worry. Trying just to keep myself busy. Like you not looking  forward to going to clinic on my own but I understand why with Covid etc.  The not knowing and waiting is the worst. Sending hug and support to you. We can do this x

  • I am in the same position. Got a referral on Thursday from the clinic nurse and on a two week wait after finding a pea size lump.  Been so busy at work this is the first time I've actually sat down and thought about it, and the more I poke around the bigger this thing is starting to feel (like 2cm+).

    sending support to you and everyone else in our boat!

  • Hi thanks for replying, sorry to hear you've found a lump too -I agree, when I first felt it, thought it was pea sized but the more I feel around it, it's actually more grape sized! Yes it helps knowing we're not alone, & actually talking to someone who know how it feels , sending hugs to you too xxx
