Large lump on breast and smaller lump under arm

Hello

last week I found a largish lump in my breast, which I'm almost sure  wasn't there a month ago, I made and appointment to see the gp who examined me and also found a lump under my arm and is now urgently referring me to the breast clinic 

I'm absolutely beside myself with worry, I know it can be loads of different things and not necessarily cancer, but can't stop thinking about it. Just feel like crying all the time but not wanting my family to worry

dont even know why I've posted I haven't really got a question

  • It is scary but you are doing the right thing to get it checked quickly. Most lumps are not cancer but even when they do turn out to be cancer, the sooner they are treated the better your chances and the less treatment needed. It is awfully scary I know as I went through this 5 years ago. It was cancer, they dealt with it quickly and efficiently and although it was a scary journey I am now fit and well.
