Hi everyone, I’m 28, I’ve had a few symptoms lately and booked a GP appointment, half expecting them to say there’s nothing to worry about, but I have been referred to the breast clinic. Symptoms include; a lump in my left armpit/swollen lymph node, an extremely itchy left nipple, a slightly larger left breast and pain/discomfort in my lower left breast. I’m waiting for my referral and then I’ll have to wait for my actual appointment so quite a bit of waiting to go. I have found myself thinking one minute, I’m sure everything will be fine, I have no lump in my actual breast, I’m young etc etc and the next minute thinking I shouldn’t make plans for the future just in case! Very extreme thoughts in both directions, I suppose I’m worried about my mental health over these next few weeks. From what I’ve read so far this seems like an extremely supportive and wonderfully friendly forum. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice both for the appointment itself and for the wait!? Thank you 🙂 Emily xo
