Hey

welcome to the forum, sorry to hear that you are worried about your referral but it's completely understandable. I was the same when I was referred.  It's a tough time, try and keep yourself busy, stop proding and poking and stay away from google.

So the majority of referrals turn out to be nothing so try and hang on to this. And don't spend time and energy worrying about something until it is something (easier said than done I know).

If you are in England you will get a call with an appointment, it's usually within 2 weeks of your referral.  I can share what happened to me at my appointment, I was examined by a nurse, who then sent me for a mammogram, they then did and ultrasound that showed up an area of concern and they then did a biopsy, this was all done at the same appointment.  They told me there and then that it was highly likely to be cancer. I then went back a week later for the results which confirmed this was the case. Whatever the outcome there are loads of people on here for support.

Any questions please just ask.

Thank you so much for replying!

youre totally right, I always say to others there's no point worrying before hand because then you live it twice! But I somehow fail to take my own advice haha ‍♀️!

Thanks for sharing your experience with the appt, that's really helpful so I know what to expect. I'm hoping my partner can get the time off work to come along with me. 
Big hugs right back at you!

I need to pull myself together a bit and keep busy!
