Hi there, I’m 25 years old and have found a lump at the beginning of the year.
I then plucked up the courage to go to my gp at the beginning of April. When there I told her what I found and right away she said it was because it was my time of month. I told her it wasn’t. She then told me it was because I was due which again I wasn’t.
I feel like I was just being shunned because of my age. She then asked if there was history if beast cancer in the family which there is. She then said she would refer me to the breast clinic. That was on the 7th of April I then received my letter for an appointment for the 12 of June. When reading information about breast clinics it sometimes states that you should be seen no longer than 6 weeks.
I am going this Thursday. Since going to the gp I feel like it has slightly grown and I am now getting pain in my breast and underarm daily.
If has constantly been on my mind and feel likely life is on standstill.
