Waiting for breast consultation

[Myheadisfull]

And the waiting is becoming harder and harder.

The referral was quick, really. Was referred on Monday and appointment is the 18th. I am feeling so very stressed tonight and my mind will neither focus nor switch off.

I don't know for certain that it is cancer of course but I do know enough to know that I am ticking more bad boxes than good at the moment. I'm hoping it is a fibroadenoma or some other kind of benign lump. Needed somewhere to dump my thoughts as I try to write my dissertation, ironically on something cancer-related.

I know exactly how you feel! Try not to read too much into it at the moment, although I know it's really difficult. The first time it happened to me I felt a lump while sitting at my mother's kitchen table on her birthday, in 2007. After all the investigations, biopsies and a small surgery, it turns out I had several fibroadenomas and a benign phylloides tumour, so nothing to worry about.

Hopefully that will be the case for you. Try not to waste your time by worrying about what may not happen and just have a normal life until you know what is really going on.

Appt has been moved to this week. In my head I feel convinced it is nothing, yet I think about it often so I must be a bit worried. Sigh. Boobs suck.
