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, im 54, dont have menstrual cycle anymore not have for about 25 years,  that was another problem. But for or 3 weeks i have been having like a buring pain down the side of my right breast, I also have bad pain in my nipple and back of my shoulder, I finally plucked up courage to see my gp, who said she can feel my what she thinks is my glad and its swollen and will refer me to hospital, the next day they contacted me and I have a appointment for next Thursday, is all been done really quickly. Just worried about the outcome .

    I know how you are feeling, it's scary & a v worrying time. Try to be positive tho, chances are it's not anything sinister. Just take 1 step at a time. It's fantastic that you are being seen so quickly & the breast clinic will take the very best care of you. Sending you positive vibes.
