I feel like a fraud

I feel like a fraud because I know there are so many people on here in much worse situations but I found this forum and just wanted to type really. 
 

I've been with my girlfriend for five months now but I already know I'm going to marry this girl. Tonight she came round unexpectedly to tell me she had found a lump on her breast, had been to the GP, and was going to get a referral soon to check what the lump was. I know it is more likely a cyst and she is being so amazingly strong - as she is all the time. However right now - a few hours after she told me - I'm finding it hard to be strong for her. I wanna be her support and strength right now but I'm finding it difficult. 
 

I'm sorry because a lot more people on here have it a whole lot worse but I want to be the guy for her that she deserves. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you all for reading.

  • Couldnt not respond to such a sweet post. All you can do for your GF right now is listen to her, reassure her and do things with her that will take her mind off the wait to see the breast clinic. Other than that there's not a lot you can do so don't beat yourself up about it.

    Fingers crossed the breast clinic finds nothing to worry about

    take care

  • Hi,

    what a lovely partner you are. Just wanted to pop in and say there is no right way to react, sadly there's no rule book but posting on here shows you are a kind loving person....so just be yourself. 

    It's  very highly likely the lump is hormonal , the odds are in her favour...as 8/9 out of 10 lumps are innocent. So if you can go along to the breast clinic with her, hold her hand and listen to her, she may be brave on the outside but somewhere deep inside her will be the what ifs.....good luck xx

  • Thank you so much for your reply and advice I'll try to keep this post updated. God bless

  • So it's four days now since I found out that she found a lump. She got her referral date today, next Wednesday, so hopefully HOPEFULLY we will know something by this time next week. It's been an up and down week for both of us emotionally. It's been surprisingly easily to forget about when busy at work or whatever but then we have time to ourselves our just before we sleep and then it's fore front in our minds. She's very excited about tomorrow as were attending our first wedding as a couple - I'm doing everything to make sure that she has one of the most enjoyable days tomorrow as next week could be a very tough week. I know there's people on here in much worst situations so thanks for reading. Please pray for the most beautiful girl I know. God bless.
