Shock

I discovered a lump in my breast 2 days ago - saw G.P. today and referred via 2 week pathway. 

Am in shock - no history  in family of breast cancer. Not sure should I mention it to family yet - may be cyst.

What do others think ?

  • I'm not going to say please don't worry - because I know you are. But just know that we are all going through the same and normal to feel completely terrified. Lean on whoever you feel able to talk to about it. It really does help. 
    Your lump could be many different things, cyst, abscess, fatty tissue, growth. When I was referred they said out of all cases referred to breast clinic that 90% came back with something not cancer related. 
    when you do go for your appointment, take someone with you and don't be afraid to ask all the questions you need.xx

  • Thank you Sheena84.

    The " sensible " me is telling myself that ( could be cyst etc )  , just wish I could get seen tomorrow. 

    The not knowing is hard.

    Does anyone know whether you can go private for such things ?
