Scared

I found a small lump in my breast last week, and discovered that my breast has gone out of shape and nipple has flattened, phoned and saw doc this morning, and she's put me on emergency referral to the hospital for mammogram etc, I'm so scared

    welcome 

    I had breast cancer last year I understand your fears 

    however lots of lunps turn out ok only 2 in 10 women who get refered get a diagnosis 

    the emergency you are referring too is standard 2 week referal for ll breast lunps 

     

    good luck love Lara Heart

  • It is scary isn't it. And there is a lot of waiting. I hope you hear soon when your appointment is. I left it a week and then rang them to find out when mine was. 
    When you go to your appointment it will probably go see the doctor, have a mammogram, then an ultrasound, then back to the doctor. I got an indication on the day.

    Of course, Lara says, most referrals do not result in a cancer diagnosis. Hope for the best.
