Not sure how to feel.

Hi all.
I have been reading through lots of posts wondering if I should post a thread.

Not sure really what to write.
I received my appointment to go to the Breast Screening Centre next Tuesday (27th Jan) . I’ve had pain in my left breast at the bottom and in my left armpit. Spoke to the GP a week before Christmas and he said it should be nothing to worry about.
I went back on Monday as the pain is still there…a constant ache. I saw a different GP and she found 2 possibly 3 lumps and has referred me.
I am 36, married and have 2 beautiful boys. 5&7.
I am trying to be positive, but I can help my imagination running away with me! There is nothing to say its cancer…but then there is nothing to say it isn’t!
I’m so tired with the worry! I keep thinking I can’t leave my babies! Crying a lot too.
I’m not expecting loads of replies… It just helps to write down my fears.
I’m scared of leaving my babies

Dear LozzieG

Welcome to the BCC Forum.  I’m sure other members will soon be along to offer you some support.

I have attached a link to our booklet “Your Breast Clinic Appointment” which will give you some idea of what will happen at your appointment.

I hope this helps.  You might also find it helpful to phone our Helpline to talk things over.  They will be able to offer you practical information as well as emotional support.  The opening times are 9-5 on weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.  The number is 0808 800 6000

Very best wishes

Hi LozzieG

Anyone posting on this website will tell you that the worst bit is waiting for appointments! Try not too worry too much and stay postive. If you fill your days - and you must do with having youngsters - you will  be able to stop thinking about things. Lumps in the breat can ve all sorts of things. You’ll soon have an appointment.

Thank you Boa
Waiting is very hard… I am trying to be as positive as I can. If it is BC then I’ll have to deal with it as best I can. X

Good luck on Tuesday. The waiting is the worst part. I Got diagnosed yesterday after nearly a 2 week wait. Thinking of you xx
