Found a lump at the weekend and went to GP on Mon. She says it may be a cyst and her gut tells her that but obviously cant commit and says i wouldnt rest til i had been seen at breast clinic. My aunt had BC and im 38 years old and know that statistically the odds are in my favour of it being nothing sinister…but, does anyone else NOT want to convince themselves of that incase its a huge slap in the face when they EVENTUALLLY get seen? I go on holiday in 2weeks time and i cant even look forward to it, and if things dont go to plan im gonaa be going on holiday with all of this hanging over me!! I am a wreck-hardly eating, hardly sleeping! xx
