A few days ago I noticed a tiny, minuscule dimple on the side of my left breast. I couldn’t be sure if it was a stretch mark I’d never noticed, or if it was something else. So I made an appointment at the GP and saw the nurse practitioner, she had a good feel and she actually found a lump on the right side of my right breast and made an urgent referral to the breast clinic to be seen within the next 2 weeks.
She’s as confident as she can be that it’s not cancer, but because of my mum, we agreed it’s better to err on the side of caution so I’m being seen asap. I should have heard from them by Tuesday.
What can I expect from the appointment? She said they’ll do a scan and possibly a biopsy. I’m trying not to be too concerned because logically I know the chances of it being cancer are incredibly slim, but still… 😬 Will a biopsy hurt? How big is the needle? I’m not sure if I should ask my husband to take a day off to take me, Will I be too sore to drive if I do have to have a biopsy?
