Hello Doodlebug21

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a breast lump. You've done exactly the right thing in getting this checked with your GP. Hopefully, you won' have to wait too long for your appointment with the Consultant. 

We know that waiting for appointments can be a very worrying time. Unfortunately searching Google for information often leaves people feeling even more anxious so please do give the internet a wide berth for the moment. The vast majority of people who attend breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer so try to stay positive for the moment and take things a day at a time. 

It really can help to talk things through with someone and I'd suggest giving one of our nurses a call. I'm confident they will be able to give you some advice, information, and support to help you ahead of your appointment. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

Keep in touch and let us know how you get on at the appointment. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
