Posting in here as I feel the Cancer threads don’t get as many responses, and I am desperate to speak to people.
my lovely mum has an appointment at the breast clinic tomorrow and I’m terrified. I want to go with her but my partner can’t get out of work and I have no one else to look after our two kids. My dad and her best friend are going with her.
she found a lump 2 weeks ago on one of her breasts, she found it because she lifted up her arm to close the car boot and her breast was hurting. She had a feel around her breast and found a lump. The day after, she couldn’t find the lump and the pain had gone. She went to the gp who found the lump straight away, and did an urgent referral as she didn’t like the feel of the lump and was concerned about the history of breast cancer in our family (my mums sister had it, and three of my mums auntie)
tomorrows my mums appointment and I haven’t been able to function at all today. My mum was in pain again yesterday - she now thinks the pain is coming from her ribs and not the lump. Of course my mind is in absolute overdrive
she is a lovely mum to me and a devoted grandparent to my two children. We see her nearly every day. I am dreading tomorrow and what kind of phone call I’m going to get off her :(
please can I hear of your experiences? I want to be realistic
