Referred under 2 week wait

Last week I found a lump in my left breast, quite by accident, as even though you are supposed to check i never knew what I was really checking for until I found it. Now I feel like my world has stopped and I'm struggling to function. I'm trying to keep busy and take my mind off it.  The GP said he was going to refer me under the fast track referral but this might be delayed due to Easter weekend and due to Covid.  I can't sleep I'm so worried. I'm a carer for my husband who has severe fibromyalgia and I have 2 girls. All I can think of is who will look after everyone if I have cancer.

    Hi Avapoppy,

    A very warm welcome to our forum,

    I am sorry to hear that they couldn't complete your smear test due to a polyp. I am not a doctor, but I understand that many polyps are benign, although they may have to be removed due to size. I sincerely hope that this is the case with you. It is common for them to bleed.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
