I am 40. High risk of bc as my mum was diagnosed at 49 and her sister, my aunt at 55. Mum is fine but aunt now has mets in lung and hip.
I began yearly mammograms in August, but felt what I can only describe as a ridge in my breast about 7 weeks ago. Waited for my period in case it was hormones, but was still there after, and after the next one.
Saw Gp on Tuesday who referred me to a one stop thing at the hospital. Appointment on Thursday afternoon.
Naturally I am worried. There is not a full lump as such, but more the side of a possible one, with a deeper space to the left of it.
Really wanted the GP to say - don’t be daft there’s nothing there, and when she couldn’t find it I felt better, but then when I took her hand and showed her where I could feel it she said oh yes, there is something there. Arse.
I have 2 kids both little and a holiday booked in 7 weeks. Arse.
Best word to describe thing at the moment - arse!
Sorry for boring - feels better to even write it down a bit.
Hello and welcome to the place where you will get loads of help and support, just wanted to say good luck for Thursday, let us know how you get on and if we can be of help before then, even if it is just to sound off, we are here for you
Your not boring! I found a lump 3 weeks ago went last Thursday to breast clinic hD a mamogram , scan, another mamogram then another scan as they wasn’t happy. Then 3 biopsies. I get my results tomorrow. I also have a 16 year old daughter and am 42. It’s scary **bleep**. I lost my cousin at 44 3 years ago to it. But you know I’ve decided there’s not a lot you can do until you know, then you fight. I also list my best mate 16 years ago to BC, but, most lumps and masses are nothing. Stay positive. You are certainly not alone xxx
