Hi so I am 40 and found a lump last week. Went to GP who said she could feel something and said best to refer but she couldn't refer me under the 2 week wait as I didn't meet all the criteria. Therefore it would be a 6-8 week wait at least. The only cancer in my family is my dad's mum, who incidentally had breast cancer in her 70s (along with lots of other medical issues). I am therefore going private and have an appointment tomorrow at 10.15am. I'm terrified. The lump I found is very deep in the tissue and I can't make it out fully, sometimes when lay down I can't find it at all. The GP did say she could feel something however so i am assuming something is there? I am large boobed anyway and fat
I am frozen with fear and swinging for trying to be rational, to planning my demise. Does anyone know what will happen roughly? I have to see a consultant who will decide what investigations I have. I just want it all to go away.
Thanks
