Hiya, I just want some advise really.
I found a lump in my right breast Tuesday gone and went straight to the docs, after he examined me he said he can feel something and is referring me for an us scan to get it checked. Even though he said chances are its all ok as I’m young (24) I still am fearing the worse as why would he refer me if he thought it was all ok. I’m sooooo scared and worried. I can sleep or eat properly with worry. I still haven’t heard from the hospital nearly a week later so will call to see when I’ll have the scan tomorrow coz I just wanna get it over with now. All these scary thoughts are going through my head 24/7. I’m a single mum to a 4 year old little girl n thought of leaving her scares the hell out of me. Can anyone give me any advise? Thankyou xx

Hi Anna Louise I too have found a lump and am a single mum … My little girl is 7 … As I’m under 35 I had to wait 6 weeks for an appointment … So I’ve borrowed the money had have a private appointment for tomorrow 
I will let you know how I get on and hopefully if my results are good it might ease some of your worry xx
Hi Lou.
Really hope you get the all clear. Please let me know

Hi shopaholic1982,
Even though I’m under 35 I’ve still been put on the urgent 2 week wait list, but still waiting for a date. I’m soooo worried and anxious. Really hope your all ok, keep me updated hun xx
Hi Anna Louise hope your doing ok … I went to my apponitment last week and radiologist confirmed lump was solid and wanted to do a biopsy … Because I had gone private biopsy would have cost 1000 euro so transferred me to public breast clinic , waiting on appointment she was really nice and said should have this appointment within 2 weeks so fingers crossed xx
