Hi

I found a lump in my breast a few months ago and I finally saw the GP recently who referred me.  I was seen last Tuesday at the Breast Clinic where I had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies.  I was told that the lumps (they found another one) were very suspicious.  I was then introduced to one of the Breast Care Nurses.

I received a copy of the letter sent to my GP and it reports a U5/M5 lesion.

I have an appointment with the Breast Surgery department on 19 December.  Is this because they believe that this is cancer or is it standard practice? 

I have only told my husband about all of this - I can't tell my children (five of them, aged 11-23) until I know for sure what's going on.   I don't want to tell anyone until I know for sure.

I am so conscious of my breast and the aching in my armpit.  

I feel pretty useless at the moment.
