Can’t tell anyone

Hi there,

I found a lump in my armpit a couple of weeks ago and went to the GP. He found a lump in my left breast and he's referred me to the breast clinic on 24th August. The wait is agonising. 
My husband is the only one who knows as I don't want to tell anyone as I don't want people to worry. 
Friends and family are asking to make plans which we are, but it's killing me that I have to go along with everything despite feeling so desperate. 
Has anyone else felt like this? 
I'm hoping that Tuesday will give me some answers and then I won't feel like this. I'm petrified. 
Thanks in advance

    Hi I'm the same as you. Go for my Breast Appt day before you and I'm so scared. Only mentioned to husband who I don't think has really taking it in. Trying to stay strong during the past 2 weeks but it's so hard. Doctor found 2 lumps in left breast which worry's me even more. 
    I hope and pray we both get on okay

    Hey Abby,

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, my husband is similar - he's quite calm and hasn't really mentioned much. But it's good he's calm aswell.

    Sorry to hear you're in the same boat - the wait is the worst. Knowing what I'm dealing with will make me feel better. 
     

    I'm glad your appointment is soon. 3 days to go and hopefully you will get some answers. 
     

    Sending positive vibes your way x

    Hi Sami I hope your appt went well. 
    I had an mammogram , ultrasound and biopsy's as they found the lumps were suspicious. 
    I'm now waiting for the results so they can decide on course of treatment.

    I don't really know if it's sunk in yet. I feel I living in a dream. 

    Thinking of you also 

    love and hugs
