Breast & armpit pain..referred to breast clinic

Hi, I have been reading everyones posts over the last week trying to find some comfort and calm my emotions. Everyone is so lovely. 

Im 34 with 2 children, I had some pain in my breasts and armpits for a about 6/7 weeks. I decided to wait and see if they disappeared after my period which they didn't. So I went to see my GP. He said he couldnt see or feel anything concerning but wanted me to be seen by the breast clinic under a 2 week wait. 

Unfortunately my GP practice is useless and never sent my referral. So when I chased it 8 days later, they realised and it finally got sent off. I received my appointment the next day, its on Monday evening. 

I know my GP said he couldn't feel any lumps but I can! Especially in the shower or using a body oil. I am so scared!! And very emotional googling everything I can think of relating to cancer at any possible chance I get!! 

Whats really pushed me ove the edge is im now getting unusual pains in my hip and ribs. It comes and goes and feels sharp, and quick, like a burning sensation. Today I have started feeling them in my back too. Ive scared myself thats is secondary bone cancer. 

I really dont know how I am going to cope waiting until Monday evening for my appointment. 

 

Much Love Carla

  • Hi Carla, what a horrible and worrying time for you. 

    I have been referred for a colonoscopy under the 2 week wait as I am concerned I might have bowel cancer, I am 33 with 3 children. I understand how you are feeling! I've been reading waiting for diagnosis posts and have realised that a lot of them have happy outcomes! I hope we have the same. 

    Thinking of you! Monday eve will be here before you know it x
