Found a lump and I can't get to my gp

Ive just arrived in Turkey for 3 weeks and have found a large lump on my breast, I've got cysts already but this feels different it's hard and doesn't move and it wasn't there a week ago. I'm in full panic mood at the moment and don't know what to do as I don't thing my holiday insurance covers this
Do I try and fly home? Do I try and go and see a dr here or do I wait till I can get home to see my GP. I'm so scared at the moment and feel all alone my other half is not being much help and burring his head in a bottle of brandy. I'm trying to put a happy face on for the kids but I can't keep that smile on my face. Thank you for reading x

I’m a cancer survivor so I’ve been through all the clinics, tests and waiting. The waiting is the worst part. You can get through this. We find an inner strength we didn’t know we had.

I have everything crossed for you for Friday. 💐

Thank you ladies x
I've Just got back from my appointment they found another 4 lumps they have done core biopsy's on 3 of them and a FNA on 2 of them, they think 4 of them are ok but not sure on the 5th now I have another waiting game for the results, the dr said it could be a week but up to 3 weeks for the results. I'm so sore now feel like a pin cushion at the moment but fingers crossed the 5th one is ok x

Poor you, I had a breast lump when my oldest was 8 months old. It was the worst few weeks of my life. I had biopsy done and turned out all was well. The waiting is the worst.
I hope all will be well with you tooFlowers

Thank you ladies
I appreciate all your replies.
I feel like I'm in limbo at the moment it's quite scary not knowing either way but I'm sure like every other woman that been in my situation I will cope what every the outcome is (that's what I keep telling myself anyway). X

I had a lump a few years ago and had a three week wait for the clinic. I really didn't cope well at all. I was fine in the end and I hope you have a good outcome.
