Hi all, I'm Toni I'm 36 years old mom of 2.
A few weeks ago i noticed a pain in my left boob everytime i put pressure on it, i didnt think much of it as i know i suffer "achy boob" during my cycle. A week after i noticed my right boob had the achy feeling but my left now felt brusied and hurt to even touch it. So booked a appointment in with the doctors, during the appointment the nurse found a lump right where it hurts my heart stoppped and a thousand thoughts went through my head. 1st was no way i have tiny boobs so theres no way theres a lump and i havent noticed. the nurse showed me exactly where and sure enough a pea size lump. Got started with a course of anitbiotics and was told to wait for a call for the breast clinic. That was exactly a week ago and im freaking out big time. I understand the NHS have been under unbelievable pressure and theyre doing a wonderful job but its hard to sit and wait.
I have a family history of cancer from both sides, my nanna (mums mum) died 67 breast cancer and both my grandads with cancer and my dad passed away 3 years ago from cancer and he was only 57. With all that racing through my head i cant help but to freak out.
