hello there, I went to the doctors with a lump in my right breast early this week. She has advised me I would be getting an appointment at the breast clinic within the next 2 weeks. I have to say I am worried about this, although I had a benign lump removed 19 years ago on the other breast so I am hoping this is going to be the same - it still doesn’t stop me worrying though! Just reading some of your comments have really helped though - thank you!

Thank you for your kind message Yvonne, I can’t say I am not worried, I am, it is absolutely right what everyone says, your mind works overtime whilst waiting! I keep trying to put it to the back of my mind, but it is hard. I just hope that the appointment comes soon, so I can get it over and done with.
I will let you all know how I get on - fingers crossed
