Hi all, just looking for a hand hold really and to see if anyone else is in a similar situation.
I’m 32, had breast pain for a couple of weeks and when I found a lump and still had tenderness a week after my period ended I went to the GP. She referred me to the breast clinic which I was grateful for but also made me 1000% more concerned as she wasn’t particularly reassuring, other than saying the tenderness/pain was encouraging. She found the lump straight away and it’s linear and quite firm and immovable.
My appointment is in two days time and I am absolutely bricking it. I lost my auntie to BC in her 30s and a good friend to another cancer in her 30s also. Both left young children. Now I’m getting all sorts of other symptoms which I hope are just my mind playing tricks but I am obsessing. I am petrified of leaving my little boy and can’t think straight.
Sorry for rambling. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to stay away from google which was very scary. I now know the clinic doesn’t do core biopsies so i could be waiting even longer if an ultrasound doesn’t confirm everything’s okay. I looked at the tamoxifen gang thread full of inspiring and considerate ladies but I found it too overwhelming.
I am already regretting getting so stressed at little things prior to this and not just enjoying my family and taking better care of myself.
