Breast cancer

Have been referred to breast clinic after finding lump in left breast and abnormal shape and pain. My appointment is this Wednesday. I am worried about it and as always assuming the worst. Have read about it and lots of reasons other than cancer for my symptoms. Here's hoping.

  • Hi,

    I'm at the same stage as you albeit I haven't had the appointment letter yet. My GP appointment was 2 weeks ago and they said to chase if I hadn't heard after 2 weeks so I called today. Somehow I managed to speak to the consultant when I rang the clinic as they were clearly passing the phone and she was lovely. Confirmed they had my referral and said they are behind but she'll make sure it gets through soon. 
    I've been ok with the waiting until today. 2 weeks of waiting feels like ages when I already had to wait 4 days from finding the lump to getting to see the GP (and I don't check that often)
    I know I shouldn't but I've turned to Dr google and now I'm starting to think I've got pagets on my nipple too ‍♀️
     

    Beat of luck to you for Weds, I'll cross my fingers for you x

  • Google symptoms etc is the worse thing to do but I've done it as well, and it hasn't helped. The waiting is torture. I got my appointment 3 days after seeing my doc. Have swelling under my arm as well and a got burning type of sensation in my upper arm along with the lumps and abnormal shape. What symptoms do you have if you don't mind me asking? Xx

  • Sorry for jumping in on this chat . I'm new to this chat room. I'm going for a triple asssessment tomorrow afternoon. Two weeks ago, I thought the underwire in my bra was digging into me. Pain got worse . Found a lump. I'm so much pain . My appointment is at 2.30 tomorrow. I've never felt as bad as this. Shaking , crying, not eating , knots in stomach . I can't stop googling!! 
    I feel sorry for all of us going through this torture. Xxxx 

  • It would be the first thing I would say to anyone else, but know I'd do it myself (and clearly did) ‍♀️ ️ 
    ive got a decent sized lump (a good blueberry) in right breast with some shooting pains towards my nipple. Since googling I've noticed that I have quite a lot of scaly dry skin on my nipples. Mainly right one with a lot of itching which is making me think of pagets. 
    I have a skin condition (HS) which gives me lesions and lumps from boils a lot of which are in my arm pits at the moment. I'm not concerned about them but it's always in the back of my mind about them. 
     

    a 3 day turn around is amazing! So pleased that you did x
