There's another thread about exactly the same but I didn't want to hijack that one obviously. Just got back from GP and I've been given choose and book info for urgent scan. I've made appointment for 6th Dec.
I've had pain and heaviness in my right breast for about a month and the pain goes through into my shoulder blades. I'm 56 and have been on HRT for 3 years which I know increases the risk of breast/ovarian cancers. There's no history in my family which is good and I don't smoke, drink etc but I'm so bloody frightened.
I daredn't tell anyone in RL and don't want to till I know what's what. My DD in particular would be panicked if I told her.
I've booked to stay with family in Germany over Christmas and daredn't think what my travel insurance will be if I declare the part about upcoming tests and investigations. I've got nothing to do today (apart from some housework) and can't distract myself. Sorry, but just needed to tell someone how scared I am.
