Breast cancer

Hi. My gran died 2 weeks ago from breast and ovarian cancer. I am attending her funeral tomorrow although my mind is on the fact that I have just found a lump of my own and am so scared

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Meesh1991Xx and please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your gran.

    It's only natural, after seeing a loved one going through cancer, to be worried about your own health and given that you found a lump it might be a good idea to book an appointment with your GP to have that checked, in case you haven't done that yet.

    A lot of times lumps and bumps turn out to be nothing serious but it's always best to have a doctor checking, even if it is just for your peace of mind.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you feel like talking to someone medically trained might help, they're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
