Any advice please......

Hi,

I’ve been to my GP today as I found a lump a couple of weeks ago. It seemed to get bigger with my period, then smaller but it hasn’t gone. She’s referred me to breast clinic and has said that she doesn’t think it’s anything but it needs checking. I’ve got two weeks to wait and I am a wreck already. From Dec last year to Feb this year I had a couple of operations where they were checking if polyps I had could be cancerous. They turned out to be benign but the wait was horrendous and now I feel that this is happening again. A friend of mine is very poorly with breast cancer which adds to my worry. My Dad has had a small stroke and is having tests for bowel cancer so I can’t speak to my Mum which I always would have. I’m really scared. I’ve only told my husband who is Mr Positive about everything and says all will be fine.I have a teenage daughter who I have a fantastic relationship with but can’t tell her as her friends step mum died from breast cancer earlier in the year.
I apologise if I sound like a rambling loony! I just fully expected to go to the GP be told it was a cyst and sent away. Any advice would be really appreciated.
