Hey
feel like I'm going crazy, found a lump in my right breast On Thursday, managed to get GP appointment. Early last week . At this point I was a little worried but not really. Urgent 2ww referral made to the clinic and now having to wait until the 14th.
feeling very alone and frightened as I'm 44 I have 2 children in their 20's and 2 younger ones at secondary school. My younger children's father and partner advises not to worry anyone until I have my tests. I don't have a great support network in either friends or family.
I don't want to worry my oldest ones but I do have a sinking feeling and anxiety that it is cancer... not just because of the lump but other ongoing symptoms. The thought of getting a diagnosis and then sharing it with them seems harder than maybe preparing them by sharing it as suspected. I believe they would want to know now rather than after a diagnosis or I am being selfish?
everything online talks about waiting for a diagnosis.
