Scared and in need of positive vibes

Have I got breast cancer? Appointments and waiting for test results
1

Hi,

I’ve had a pain in my left breast for a couple of weeks and then found an area that didn’t feel ‘normal’ , its not a lump as such but more of a hard bulge. So I went to the doctor who has referred me to the breast clinic. The wait for my appointment is agonizing ( 3 more weeks to go) but in the meantime I’ve turned into a emotional wreak , I can’t think straight and I am now a full blown hypochondriac. I’ve got all these symptoms which I don’t know if they are real or if I’m just so stressed I’m imagining them.

Any tips on how to get through the next 3 weeks without having a nervous breakdown would very much by appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.

Glad you’ve reached out to breast cancer now but sorry you find yourself in this situation.
