Hello all, I’m a newbie! and having a sleepless night. I found a lump in my left breast on thursday, I’ve made the first available appointment with my gp on Monday and am worried sick. Im 34 and went through this two years ago, thankfully my last referral turned out to be a cyst. My mum had breast cancer 3 years ago so I’m feeling very unsettled.

hi

Hold on to the thought that the last time it was a cyst. Its not easy I know, not to worry but please remember most of the time lumps turn out to be benign.

I had a time last week worrying about a lump on my left breast and it has turned out to be a skin lesion.

sending you a (((((HUG)))))

Hi Katie,

Welcome to the site, you will receive all of the support you need here. As hazm says, hold on to the thought that it was a cyst last time.
You have done the right thing going to your GP quickly, so well done you. At the present time you will be worrying, and the waiting is just
awful. We all know what that is like and how you are feeling. Just remember my love, we are here for you whenever you need us.

Here’s a HUG for you.

Hi Katie

I’m so sorry to hear of what you are going through. The waiting is the hardest time and no matter what anybody says to reassure you it doesn’t make it feel much easier. You have come to the right place for support though. We’re all here for each other and you will find you will be given a lot of support and reassurance. Like you said above the last time turned out to be a cyst - fingers crossed for this time.

Thinking of you

Dear All

I started this discussion (have changed my user name). Thank-you for my hugs, it actually seems worse the second time round, it certainly isn’t ant easier thats for sure. Yes, I am clinging to the thought of another cyst, infact praying for one, now thats not a phrase you say very often! Will let you know what happens tomorrow.

Thanks all

Dear All

A quick update. I went to the gp on Monday, and have been given an urgent referral, he says I should be seen in the next few days. Yikes! I know I’m lucky that the wait wont be very long, but the speed of it all is now quite terrifying. hence another sleepless night.
