My CM has found a lump in her breast which obviously she's worried sick about and has booked herself an appointment at a private hospital for Tuesday, she's told me this, not asked if it's ok iyswim. Now I know i'd be worried to death about finding a lump but I really cannot take this time off and DH would be unpaid which we can't afford. I don't want to sound like a heartless cow but she had Friday off at short notice for an uncles funeral and now this, would it be completely awful to ask her to rebook for Wednesday ?

Melrose - well put! I don't care about her personal circumstances financially and carer/jobwise, I'm just appauled that someone could be so sensitive about such a serious topic!

Glad the CM is ok. I think a tumour can be ruled out on a same day appointment. One thing I feel I have to point out though mainly to LT - my Mum is still very much alive and although still not (quite) kicking following her op she is still with us. I probably did over react but this thread genuinely did upset me, probably because it all happened so recently. I don't really have any comment on AC attitude - I don't think I need to. Apologise for bumping this but couldn't bear that it appeared I had implied my lovely mum was dead.

Flossam - so, so sorry - there were so many posts that I obviously was rushing to catch up so mis-read that. I'm very pleased that I mis-read that BUT my point still stands. It must have been such a stressful and upsetting/worrying time for you all!

I'm now stepping away from this thread as I've made my point, just wanted to apologise for getting that wrong.

You didn't need to apologise LT - I wasn't upset by it - just didn't like it to look like it was the case IYSWIM. Last post on here!
