Hey M,

Sorry to hear this. I've just posted as needed to tell someone too, as it feels quite scary doesn't it. I saw the gp Friday after noticing a lump. Yes do call the gp tomorrow morning and get it seen to, I'm sure that will make you feel slightly better. I also have children and am the same age as you so you are not alone xxx

let us know how u get on x

Hi Anna, 

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. It is really scary, more so not knowing what it is, whether it's harmless or not etc. How did it go at the doctors? Have they referred you for a scan or mammogram?

Morning,

They have referred me and she said it would be an ultrasound most likely. I have been referred non urgent though, which I'm stressing about as she said it's smooth and moveable so unlikely to be anything sinister. This hasn't stopped me worrying though as you never know do you!

hope all goes well tomorrow and you get referred too xx

Ah I see. Either way though, it's still worrying isn't it, like you said, you never know. That's the awful thing about it, the fear of the unknown! Thank you, I will of course keep this thread updated. My husband now knows, and he's doing his best to reassure me that it's probably nothing to worry about, but he said he will come with me if he's allowed to - covid and all that - he's also felt it, as I needed to make sure I wasn't just being paranoid. He said I'm definitely not being paranoid as he can feel what I felt. I'll make sure to ring the gp first thing and post here once I've seen the doctor

Hi ladies

​​​​​​I spoke to the doctor today. She asked me a few questions about the lump itself, and the surrounding area. Based on what I told her, she has referred me to the breast clinic. She has also prescribed some antibiotic cream for the area where the lump is, I'm not sure why, as the area is a bit red, but not causing me any pain or discomfort. She said I'll be seen within 2 weeks, and that they will contact me within the next couple of days to arrange the appointment. She also mentioned that they may prefer to take a sample with a needle instead of a mammogram. I have no idea what all of this means, she didn't explain why she'd prescribed the cream and she didn't mention what she thought it could possibly be, or whether this is an urgent referral or not. So I'm still completely in the dark and terrified. 

​​​​​​Thought I'd update anyone following my thread

I'm going through a similar situation. GP referral, told it was urgent, I was told I would be seen within 2 weeks however it took 6 weeks :neutral: 

Went to the breast clinic on Thursday, consultant felt the lump, sent me over to the X-ray department where I had a scan, then I was told to go back a few hours later for a biopsy. They took 5 samples, now just waiting on the results. It's been a long wait and can completely understand how terrified you are!! Hope your ok and get seen quickly! X
