Hi everyone, thought i would introduce myself.
I found a lump underneath my nipple last Saturday morning, did an e consult Monday morning and was seen by my gp that day who wasn’t happy and asked for an urgent referral, I was called by our local hospital and seen 4 days later so Thursday just gone.
Had examination, Ultrasound & Mammogram (where they have found 2 lumps) and a core needle biopsy.
What i felt is most important from this is whilst I’m obviously worried as have been told to come and see the Oncologist Thursday for my results, the anxiety waiting for that initial appointment was the worst, the whole team were so amazing, and reading some previous posts i realise I’m exceptionally lucky to be seen so quick (I’m assuming because of my family history with early breast cancer diagnosis) I felt so at ease by the whole team I saw this week and I know whatever the outcome it will all be fine.
Reading some of your stories on here, you’re all so brave, and how grateful I am that there are groups like this so information and experience can be shared to help each other.
