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.

  • I have found a lump in my right breast after 3-4 months of on and off swelling and pain. Just thought it was due to my periods despite it not being around that time exactly. But this morning I also noticed the dimpling that I had ignored as being "cellulite" on that same boob. 
     

    I saw my dr last Tuesday and he has refered me for a mammogram but I'm so scared. I'm 30 no kids and I live 200 miles from my nearest family. Feel so lost and adamant I have cancer I feel like I just need confirmation so I can deal with it. 
     

    sorry to hear so many others are in the same boat I feel like I can't think straight and I'm easy to start crying I just feel so scared. 

  • Thinking of you Panic 1990, I have been very tearful too, it is very scary. I hope you get to hear about your appointment soon.  Be kind to yourself and stay in touch x
