Hi all. I found a lump in my right breast and saw my GP who referred me to breast clinic. My appointment is on Tuesday. I am starting to struggle with the wait and the unknown. we are due to go on holiday on Friday and have a feeling we won’t be going anywhere. I just have a feeling this is coming back as cancer and I am terrified. I’m not usually the type to worry about things until there is something to worry about but this time it’s different. Anyways sorry rambling just it’s good to have somewhere to write down my random thoughts.
Hiya and welcome to the forum, not a place any of us would choose to be but we make the best of it we can!
The waiting is so hard I know and we would all agree here that it is the very worst part! Your lump is likely to be nothing sinister as the majority aren’t but whatever happens on Tuesday I would say go on your holiday, if you have to have further tests then you may as well be somewhere nice while you are awaiting results, The first thing I wanted to do was get away! Ramble away all you like here, there will always be someone to listen and chat xx Jo

I echo what Jobey is saying. This is a very difficult time because it is fear of the unknown and your imagination runs riot with you, and we know what that is like.
Never worry about rambling on here, this is a lovely safe place which enables you to do it, I do not know how many times I have done that over the past six months.
Let us know how you get on Tuesday xxxx
So my sister who was going to take me on Tuesday just txt to say she can’t do it as she has a hair appointment at 6 and won’t be home intime. (She lives and hour from me and hospital is a further 45 mins from mine and I don’t drive). I’ve just broken my heart. Is hair really more important than your only sister facing this? I never asked her to take me she offered, but now it’s a bit last min for sorting something else out. I feel like a massive burden and lonely despite my husband and his non waivering support.
Hi Teelady,how very selfish of your sister .I was very surprised by some people’s reactions to what I was dealing, some (sometimes those you least expected ) were amazing ,others very disappointing.This doesn’t always bring out the best in people .Can your partner go with you ?
Sadly not Jill as my appointment is at 2pm he needs to be available to pick the kids up after school/nursery. It has to be either me or him as our son has autism and won’t accept anyone else doing this. My daughter on the other hand would go with anyone ?
Hi tealady83,
I would agree with jill1998 your sister is being selfish to say the least , I just think some people don’t understand how worrying this is for us all , do you have someone else who could go along with you For support 
It might be worth ringing the clinic and explaining the situation with your son and see if there is anyway you could be seen earlier in the day ?Its definitely an appointment you could do with some morale support at as you are there for a couple of hours .
