Hi, 

Just read your message and I couldn't not reply. I found a lump too about 6 weeks ago but only went to my GP on Monday. I have also been referred and they've said it will be 4-6 weeks before I get an appointment which seems like an eternity, really wish I had gone sooner now but I thought it may have been hormonal so I waited for a full cycle.

It's completely natural to think the worst, we're all human but there really is nothing you can do until you've had the results. Sorry to hear that your Sister has had to have treatment but it's amazing news that she is now recovering. I'm trying to switch my brain off a bit and focus on other things, easier said than done though I know! I was going to find myself a good book or podcast to listen to every night just to try and stop the endless thoughts and internet research. 

There's no easy way to get through waiting but I just wanted to say you're not alone and I'm thinking of you. I'm sure your Sister would be happy to talk it through with you too.

Take care of yourself x

Thank you for your reply means a lot. It's horrible isn't it I'm a nursing student on placement at the minute and all I keep thinking when I go in is what's the point in me being here when I can't finish the course. I can't get my mind off thinking the worst of stop googling it and convincing myself it's cancer. I look at my little girl and just cry at the thought of her being without me. Don't know how to get through the wait for the appointment! I hope you're doing ok xx
