Hello, I am new here too and waiting for my referral to the breast clinic within 2 weeks.

I'm 27 with a young baby and breastfeeding. I have had a fibroadenoma for 10 years but have recently found a new, very different lump on my breast bone. Completely solid and doesn't move.

I can't help but feel more worried as every day passes! 

Hope everyone is doing okay waiting for appointments and/or results.

Sending hugs x

That is frustrating janedoe I hope you get your appointment through soon, did they put it as a 2 week referral my dr said you have to be seen within 2 weeks. Nightmare for you. 
 

I feel torn wishing tomorrow would arrive and at the same time scared for it. I guess it's better to know just such a scary time. I keep looking at my little boy thinking please god no. 
 

hello to new ladies I'm so sorry we are all going through this torturous waiting game and hope we all get good news. Thinking of all of you xx

Hi everyone,

a little update from me after my appointment. The first consultant was so nice who did the exam. He felt armpit lump and found nothing else in my breasts etc. He said he felt like it was a cyst or tissue that wasn't presenting as sinister but needed the ultrasound to be sure. 
 

The ultrasound actually showed up that it was in fact a lympnode, they said it was a little bigger than they would like and they wanted to take a biopsy. She asked if I'd had the covid vaccine which I have as I am a carer and asked if it was the same arm but I honestly can't remember as she said that sometimes vaccine can cause swollen lymph nodes. They said I would have to come in for an appointment for results which made alarm bells ring, they really don't give a lot away in there it it honestly all feels like doom a gloom. 
 

I then had a follow up appointment with the original consultant who was so nice, he said he can see on my drs notes that I suffer with anxiety. He said he wanted to tell me that yes the lymph node is enlarged but that it is only just borderline where they would take a biopsy so he said I hope you can take a little reassurance from that, he then went in to say that they didn't find anything in my breasts to concern them and that none of my lymphnodes in other areas are enlarged such as neck, other armpit, groin etc so that is a positive, he said that it has also responded well to antibiotics so that again suggests it's not a tumour as it wouldn't generally respond to antibiotics. He said it could just be the lymph node responding how it should after the vaccine so he said as a doctor of course I cannot say you are fine there is always that small chance but I hope what I have told you has made you feel a little less anxious - which I do thankfully. 
 

I have a telephone call booked for 6th April now for results so it's just a waiting game now which is definitely the worst part for me. Have to just try and stay positive, keep his sensible words in mind and try and stay busy. I'm glad it's actually a telephone call and not a face to face appointment as it makes me feel less worried. 
 

Sending love to everyone xx

Fingers crossed for you Rachel1988 x

ive still not had an appointment. 21 days today from my referral. I called (that's a whole other story with how many pillars I got passed around) only to be told I'd get an appointment on a Tuesday in April.
I. Kid. You. Not. 

I can't quite believe it! I phoned my gp surgery who arranged a call from the gp who said it was expected. She was so lovely, but I can't help feeling like I've got a ticking time bomb!

hugest hugs to all of you still.  Ejane, I feel we've hijacked your post and although everyone has got something from it, I hope you are ok xx
