Breast Clinic tomorrow

Hi, 

I have my breast clinic appointment tomorrow and I'm so so scared I feel so sick and I'm having a panic attack. I couldn't wait for the NHS appointment I was so scared so I've paid over £500 for a private appointment :( the lump is on my right boob above my nipple and feels like a round pinball, recently I feel it's surfaced more up the the skin. 
 

im so worried, I'm getting married next year I'm only 25 and just want a healthy long life. :( 

  • Hi hope you are ok! Hope I can offer you some reassurance. A few years ago I was 28 and I was in a similar position although I went to the breast clinic with pain in my right breast and came away being told I actially had a suspicious lump in my left breast! So I was extremely shocked as I couldn't feel it. They took me straight for a punch biopsy and after that straight in with a consultant. I was told it could be bad news. After the longest week of my life I couldn't wait any longer and phoned the hospital! They told me I should have had a letter but it was totally benign and absolutely fine. I was over the moon. the letter came a few days later confirming it was just a Fibroadenoma. Still can't feel it. Still have pains in right breast but had it scanned three times now.

    Also, my sister is 26 and has just had a lump near her nipple checked iout, was like a bubble gum. She went to breast clinic and told likely benign. So they did a biopsy anyway but it came back inconclusive but again she was reassured all was ok.  The lump grew and she had it scanned again, they confirmed had grown by a cm. So they agreed to take it out. She had her surgery a few weeks ago as a day case and then had an appointment two weeks later and also told a Fibroadenoma.

    hope these stories are reassuring to you!

     

    i also paid private at one point and they gave me an option to pay another £300 and have a scan- I used my savings and had it done but was worth it for the reassurance. 
     

    let us know how you get on tomorrow!  Hope you get some rest x
