Urgent gynecology referral

Hi I am new to all these chat groups but I have been having some unexplained bruising and lost over a stone in 6-8months. I am always tired and then can't sleep at night due sweating and waking most of the night.my doctor has sent 3 urgent referrals 1 for gyne one for breast clinic as he has found a lump in my left breast and he has also sent one off for a haematologist. I had the gyne appointment through the next morning which is tomorrow and have my haematologist appointment Thursday. They have booked my breast clinic for the 20th May. I am really worried as my mom had hormonal type of breast cancer 10yrs ago and they said it could be passed down to her daughters. I'm so nervous and don't want to stress my family out anymore as they have been a god send the past few days a d helped me so much.  

  • Hello Charlotte, 

    I noticed you haven't had a reply to your post just yet so I just wanted to welcome you to the forum and let you know your post has been seen.

    I know it must be rather scary having three urgent referrals but I hope it helps to know that 9 out of 10 people who are referred this way are not diagnosed with cancer. You can find out a bit more about this just here.

    I hope your remaining two appointments go well and you're not waiting too long for the results.

    We're thinking of you Charlotte and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
