Hi all,

I'm a newbie to this board.

A few months ago I found a lump but was too scared to see the doctor (serious body issues) Well the lump got bigger so I knew I had to see someone.

Two weeks ago I saw my GP and he has referred me to the hospital for tests, I've been quite calm about it but today is the day of my appointment and I have so many things going around in my head that I'm starting to get worried.

I have so many questions but they are all jumbled up and I can't think straight.

My doc has reasured me it's probably nothing but I keep thinking if it's nothing say a cyst then why did I need to be seen at the hospital? Is this routine?

Recently everywhere I go people talk about breast cancer, adverts on TV is about breast cancer and I keep thinking it's an omen (I know probably being sily)

To be honest I don't even know why I am on here, maybe because I can write my fears but not talk about them.

Anyway better stop my venting and get ready for my appointment.

Char
xx
