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

  • Thank you. Im so sorry to hear your worried about bowel cancer. It is so hard isn't it. Google is not helping. Stay away if you can. Please let me know how you get on. Thinking of you xxx
