Hi, I have my first breast clinic appointment tomorrow, im really scared.

I’m 31 and noticed a lump around 3 cms about 7 weeks ago, i have recently lost alot of weight and thought it may be fatty tissue. I decided i should go to gps last thursday and he reffered me.

I am not sure what to expect to be honest and had a phone call to attend the clinic so i have had no info. Can anyone help? Bisha x
