mummytash, it is such a worrying time for you at the moment and many who have been diagnosed with bc will say that the waiting at the start is the hardest element to deal with. But do bear in mind, that most people referred to the breast clinic don’t have breast cancer. You are doing all the right things to get it checked out. You will find plenty of support on his site whilst you are waiting. Sending a virtual ((hug))

Don’t be worried by the urgent referral - that is standard procedure for a breast lump. Nine out of ten lumps are harmless, but all are referred urgently just in case.

Hi Mummytash,
Sixteen years ago I had a huge lump appear suddenly in my breast - I saw the look of fear in my GP’s eyes even though he said it was probably a cyst.
One week later the breast clinic drained it - it was a huge cyst and was completely removed by draining. they tested the fluid to be totally sure and everything was clear.
This is probably going to be your experience too. Of course you will worry until it’s all been checked which is why your GP is making sure that you don’t wait for long.
This is a great place to share your worries, so come back when you need to talk to someone.
Wishing you all the best,
Kathleen

Dear mummytash
When someone first joins the forums your first few posts are checked by the moderators before they go live. This is just to make sure the new member is genuine and to protect other forum members. This is why there is sometimes a delay before you see your post on the forum. I do hope you understand. Your posts should now appear straight away.
Take care
Very best wishes

I also had a cyst that seemed to appear almost overnight, about 8 or 9 years ago. I was alarmed to say the least, but they drained it, and I left the clinic with my boob back to normal and very relieved. Fingers crossed that’s what you’ll have.
