Im sure you will be fine.

Hormone positive means its oestrogen related it has helped the cancer grow. 

I do have my wobbles and I'm sure will have far worse days but I've got this x

Hi I too have found a lump this week and also noticed my right arm aches. I went to my GP who got me in quickly and he said he would refer me via the 2 week list. Unfortunately I can't be seen until the 2nd June and this has really upset me. I know the NHS is so thorough but I am thinking of spending some savings and getting the diagnosis done privately just to know! What really upsets me is I had the routine mammogram done in February and it came back clear. How could that happen! I have large breasts but you would have thought the mammogram would pick up a lump and certainly anything in my armpit. Are there some very vigorous cancers that can develop in less than three months? 
By the way I had endometrial cancer in 2012. How unlucky is that? I have also had serious neck surgery, a hernia, and a pacemaker fitted all in the last 10 years. It is hard for people,to understand how dreadful it all feels when most people have had so few things go wrong in their life. My lovely husband thinks I should put these things out of my mind until I actually know what I am dealing with. However, he hasn't ever had a major problem so far.

Hi big hugs to you,

I too have recently found a lump as well. I'm 38 and have 3 young children. I saw GP and she has put me in for the referral to the breast clinic.

Trying to remain positive but it is difficult isn't it? 

Anyhow just wanted to send you a massive hug and to let you know that you are not alone x 

Hi to All of you above,

I notice that you are all either at the investigative or in the early stages of your cancer journeys and I  just want to reassure you that this is one of the most worrying stages, as there are so many unknowns. It is a fact that only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis, as not all lumps are cancerous. Many people have naturally lumpy breasts, benign cysts or fibrotic changes.

I was one of the unlucky ones 11 years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like you, I had all sorts of dark thoughts. I had a lumpectomy, followed by Tamoxifen. A year later I discovered another lump in the same breast and had a double mastectomy, followed by 6½ years of Letrozole.

Surgery and treatment are all 'doable' and I continue to live a busy and fulfilled life. I have also seen my 2 children leave school, go to university, graduate, find gainful employment and have families of their own. I guess what I'm saying is that there is still light at the end of the tunnel, even when you get the news that nobody wants to hear, so please dont give up hope.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
