Hi 

I Am sorry to hear this, I also found out yesterday that I have 2 lumps in my right breast. I am terrified as I could feel one but she said there was 2 and this one is quite big alhough I can't feel it at all and it's driving me insane. The doctor has referred me as urgent which scared the hell out of me and now I'm awake thinking the worse as I have a little girl and trying not to panic but totally are. I feel the same and it's horrible you try and think of others things but can't and I am constantly trying to find this lump. 

Hi I'm sorry your going through this.   I went to the gp yesterday due to my one boob swelling.   She said my boob is "lumpy" so been referred also.  I have swelling in my armpit area due to a possible infection also.   I have three kids and just worried out my mind xx 

Hi,

Same here, I started with itching in 1 nipple a few weeks back and my doctor found a lump in my breast yesterday. I have been referred with the 2 week wait but feel worried sick and don't know how I am going to get through this wait. I am so scared it's cancer as have the itching and strange feeling in breast. Finding it hard to eat or sleep with worry. I have a yound son age 8.

I am so sorry to hear you are in the same boat, I actually feel shocked that there are so many of us experiencing this and how naive I was about how many people are suffering this anxiety every day.  I completely understand you not wanting to tell you daughter.  My youngest is 8 and also a big worrier so I havent told her or my older daughter, they just know I'm waiting for an important phone call and I'm a 'bit

 on edge but I feel like i'm just being so grumpy and trying not to spoil their easter break. I get also you trying to find the new lump and how worried you are.  I keep checking mine in the hope that is will have disappeared and that I'm just imagining it but its still there............

Sending you all the best and I hope you dont have too long to wait for your appointment x

Hi, 

I am so sorry you are going through this too and this 2 week wait feels like the longest time..... I really hope you dont have to wait too long.  I'm a nervous wreck each time the phone rings in case it is about the appointment.  My 2 girls must know there is something up with me but if anything I'm trying to be more patient with them and giving them as many hugs as I can, without them getting fed up with me.  I feel like now I've founf the lump I am more aware of every sensation I have in my breast and I feel like it aches and also under my arm pit too, have you experienced anything like that?

I'm sending you possitive thoughts and hope that being able to vent on here may help a little x

This is just such a hard thing to be going through and I'm so sorry you are going through this too.  I have an aching under my arm pit too so wonder if it is something similar but I feel hyper aware of any new sensations at the moment.  this 2 week wait is feeling like the longest time of my life and i just feel all churned up.  I have 2  girls and just keep hugging them when I can for comfort.  I hope you get your referral through soon x

Hi Lindsay, I am so sorry your are going through this difficult time and I am sending you all the best wishes for your appointment on the 22nd.  I understand you not wanting to tell your daughter, I havent told my girls about me as I think there is no point in worrying them.  I wish I could answer your question too but I have no experience of your symptoms but hope fully someone on here can help and ease your mind abit.  

Totally empathise with your anxiety, its something I suffer with too and this is one of the hardest things to manage my feelings about right now.

It would be great to keep in touch and I'm sending you all best wishes x
