Welcome to the forum Kate although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

As you say, finding unexplained lumps and bumps can be scary, but you're taking the right course of action and I hope it won't be long before you can speak to your doctor about this.

Many of our members have also been through this so will know what you're going through at the moment and will hopefully stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

We're here for you Kate and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

Kind regards,

Hi 

I hope you don't mind me messaging. I've had a pea size lump under my arm for a couple of months now. I was waiting for a scan under my old gp and they appointment never came when I chased it up the referral had been rejected but no reason why. I have changed gp and was seen yesterday and the gp could feel the lump but also said she could feel something in my breast that felt more firmer than she would expect, I've been having pain/ache in the side of my breast and under my arm round the side in to my shoulder. She's referred me under the 2 week rule but I have got myself worried sick. I can't eat or sleep I've got two young babies and I just don't know what to do. I'm terrified it is cancer and it's spread everywhere.I'm so scared
