Just that really.
I am in a right state. Yesterday I noticed that my left breast is looking quite different at the bottom with a flattish bit and a swelling to the side. I phoned the GP and got seen tonight. The nurse had a look and feel and said she could see the change and it looked larger than other breast and decided to refer me to a breast clinic. However the computer system wouldn't allow it as I didn't fit the criteria.
She went across the hall to chat to another doctor who said given my age (39), no lump and the fact that I had a miscarriage last month it's probably hormonal and should wait and see and come back in two months.
I feel really unhappy about this. I felt like the nurse knew something wasn't right but was talked out of it by the doctor.
I'm freaking out that it's cancer and nothing will be done for months.
