Hello there everyone,

I know a lot of people post here with the same kind of issues, but I can't freak out anymore to myself. I am 27 (my mother had breast cancer in her early 30's) - and I found two painful lumps on my monthly normal check in the same breast, so got an in-person appointment with my GP. She felt over and found them as well, putting me in as an urgent appointment for the breast clinic while giving me antibiotics.

The antibiotics seemed to do something but I have no idea if this was really anything happening or me wanting something to happen.
 

About a week later, the doctor contacted me again and told me that the clinic had said that my age makes it impossible for me to be an urgent appointment, so they put me in as a routine. This was back on the 7th of May and recently found that the shape of my breast has changed around the lump around the bottom half of my nipple.

That triggered a panic attack and I've only just gotten out of it but I can't keep thinking in circles. I'm in Scotland and I don't know how long routine appointments take to get around here. I suppose I just want to know how long I will be waiting and if I should just go get private care. I don't want to phone the clinic in case they're already too over limit.

Sorry for ranting but really any conversation would help right now. Thank you
