I thought I was calmly waiting to be checked out after I found a lump in my breast a few weeks ago. I've been very ill for weeks and thought it might just be a swollen lymph node. When it didn't disappear, I went to the GP. He can feel it and has referred me under the two week scheme for further analysis.
I'm only just 30 so the chances are it's just some sort of cyst. However, my referral letter came today and of course it says 'referral for suspected breast cancer'. Rationally I know that this doesn't change the stats and it's the only way to get a quick referral. Emotionally I'm completely freaking out. I am not telling family unless there's something to report, so only my DH knows, but he is away a lot with work.
I'm just so freaked out. Is anyone else going through this, or has recently been through it and can tell me what to expect? How do I choose between the two local hospitals I've been offered?
