Found a lump under my arm before Christmas, and I am off to an appointment at the breast clinic today. I've been blocking it out, TBH, and didn't tell my OH until last night, to save him from worrying too. I have only told a couple of friends for a bit of support. My mum and my sister have both had trouble with their breasts, but thankfully no cancer, so I haven't told them either. My DSis had cancer last year so didn't want to freak her out. I am getting a wee bit nervous now.
The thing is, I don't have anyone going with me, as I really didn't think I would need it. Their literature says you can take a friend and a notepad or tape recorder, which makes it sound v ominous!
So I'm hoping some of you MNetters would have some words of wisdom and support for me! It is up to a four hour appointment, where they do all investigations including mammogram, ultrasound, taking fluid out of cysts, and even biopsy, so I am going to be there all morning.
Would be good to hear your positive experiences.
