Breast Clinic

Hello, 

An out of hours GP confirmed that there's a lump in my left breast. I'm going to call my GP tomorrow and ask them for the referral.

I'm 26 years old and suffer from anxiety. I haven't been able to keep a positive mind. 

Any ideas how long it may take for the breast clinic to see me? Also the GP didn't say much on what the lump might, just that there's 'something' there. 

Am I overreacting?

  • Hi there

    It's alway worrying when we find something wrong with our health so understandable that you'll be anxious. Good that you're going to see your GP who'll also examine and refer to breast clinic. The breast clinic is great and has all the technology to find out what's going on with your breast. It could simply something like a cyst or fibroid issue so try not to jump straight to cancer as it's rare to have breast cancer at your age

    A breast clinic referral can take several weeks to months. Try not to worry too much. Keep in touch and hope everything turns out fine x
