On an earlier thread in July, I chipped in that I had noticed what I thought might be a lump, wasn't sure and made an appointment. Now kicking myself as I first noticed something in May, went to see the nurse because I wasn't sure I was doing a breast check properly. Like another poster, I left with an explanation and leaflet...but was I assertive and did I ask her to check...? Of course not! Just back from seeing her again and been referred to the breast clinic.
Freaking out over her ticking the 'suspected breast cancer' box, although as she said, we just don't know. Trying to comfort myself that it's always been 1. mobile 2. quite sore 3. possibly does alter depending on my cycle, although not 100% sure and 4. the statistics.
OH and I have decided making blackberry jam is probably a good way to spend the evening.
Thank you for being here and listening. Really scared and know there are other people out there in the same boat facing this on their own.
