I visited my GP last week regarding a hard lump on my right breast, this is not the first time I’ve spoken to GP about this. First time I was sent away being told “it’s probably nothing”, then I was sent for an xray because it feels like a growth on the bone - came back clear, this time the GP sent me for an urgent referral which is on Wednesday.
I am in work and completely terrified, I cannot concentrate, I’ve so far lost my gloves and keys today and I just want to curl up.
Should anything sinister have shown up on xray?
What happens at clinic?
Should mention I am normally a very positive person but slowly falling apart today.

I know exactly how you feel,I was beside myself with fear that was three weeks ago and still on despair,some people can deal with it,and others are like myselfWhen i went to clinic I was fine but as soon as I saw consultant I had a panic attack!Try and take someone with you I didn’t ,they should be able to go in with you for the tests!mine is not plain sailing as I have to have a lumpectomy to diagnose what the lump is?keep in touch on this forum ,the ladies are great and please do not google I did and made myself worse!

Thanks Shar, I’m normally a very together kind of person but today just went horribly wrong. I’m sorry to hear you’re having such an awful time. Claire xx
Hi claire
As shar says, try and take someone with you. What happens in clinic can vary. It might involve a mamogram or a physical examination. I had a biopsy, which is a short procedure where they send the results away for testing. You may not get any definite answers on the day.
I know waiting for results can be difficult, maybe try and find some distractions.
