getting anxious now

Some of you may recall a post about the lump i have in my breast, well after months of being told it was nothing, and the lump getting bigger, they finaly refered me to the hosp, so off to the hosp i go, to be told they dont know what it is,bbut the doc there said he does not think it is a cyst, that i am lucky if it is cancer as it will be the slow progresive type anyway he said he was going to refere me to the plastic surgeon who will do a fine needle aspiration test, well it has been a few weeks now and i have heard nothing,,,now i am getting anxious because, i cannot no longer lie on my left side, as when i do i can feel the lump pushing up into my breast, which is very uncomfortable, i am feeling Very unwell to say the least, i feel sick all the time,and i am unable to eat, my bones hurt like hell, i am now struggling to walk i have phoned the hospital to chase it up but they say it wont be long now before i hear something. I dont know what the signs are of breast cancer and i dont want too know, but i am getting really scared now, as i have never had a problem with lyeing on my side as in feeling the lump push up...has anyone ever had this????

anyway better get on and try and do something like get dressed...lol

Thanks for letting me moan...hugs loz xxx

Oh Loz sorry i cannot offer any advice on this hun , except to offer big hugs and i really hope it is not very serious hun , and can be sorted very quickly , take care xx dk

I would be banging on some doors......can you not contact your GP and explain the difference in the lump and in your health. Surely they ought to be seeing you ASAP just in case it is something?

Sending hugs and moral support at what must be a very worrying time.

You need to get on the phone now to your Doctor and start making an almighty fuss! There is no way you should be waiting around when you are feeling this ill.

Is their a breast clinic at your local hospital? If there is you can self refer-find out what day it is and turn up. The breast care nurse and a doc will see you. Breast patients do not normally wait anywhere near this length of time Do you know why you have been referred to a plastic surgeon rather than a specialist breast surgeon?

If you are too ill to get to the Dr ask for a house call and tell them it's an emergency-it sounds as if you are really struggling, is there someone around who can help you?

Hope you get this sorted soon-you must be worried sick

As you are worried please contact your GP - they can either talk over your worries with you or chase up the hospital on your behalf.

Please don't be worrying on your own.

If they suspect it is cancer they really should not make you wait for longer than a set period (and I am sorry I am not sure what that is, but they are set government waiting times for cancer and they are very strict). Again your GP should be able to advise you on this

Best of luck.

Oooh I think we all posted at the same time - Fudgeley and Kirstya72.

Get on the phone girl and demand something be done. If, and god forbidding it isnt, but if it is worst case senario you dont wanna be hanging about.
Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon.

thanks for all your replies, they know my medical history, i had bladder cancer a few years ago and as a result i now have a urostomy, i have phoned my gp and he says to phone the hospital so i have, and they just say, a letter is on its way too you, and that i should have an appoinment soon..urg,,,i feel so drained and tired, i am very tearful today, i hardly got anysleep last night due to the lump.
Yes i do have ppl around to me help, but i dont like telling them how bad things are as i dont want to worry them, Nigel is not good with things like this, although he does try to understand he just does'nt get it, he says he will worry when he feels he needs too, which i can understand i suppose thats how most males are, as they like to see themselfs as the strong ones. He has been good, like today he phoned me to ask how i am feeling i told him i am not good, and he said well take something out the freezer for tea and he will cook when he gets back from work...so he is being really sweet. I have not mentioned this to my kids or friends as i dont want to worry anyone else, when ppl phone or pop in, i put on such a front that they dont know how i am realy feeling, they do notice i look tired and unwell, but i just say oh had a rough night with dogs, or make something else up..lol but once i have put down the phone or shut the front door, i just collapse on the sofa and cry..i know its pathetic but just feel so low and so ill.

Will be phoneing the hosp everyday now till i get that appointment, my gp said he will chase it up his end, but just said to keep on at the hosp.

Hugs Loz xx

Oh you poor thing-I think women in general do try and put up a front but please try and confide in someone how awful you are feeling.
If one of your good friends was feeling this low wouldn't you want to help them?

You are not pathetic, you are just trying to shoulder all this worry on your own and that on top of feeling awful sounds as if it is getting a bit much.

Try and rest and take care of yourself.

Here for you babe, you know that x x x x

That's terribloe, why do they keep people waiting, you keep ringing them everyday, if there is a oletter in the post then they should already know the date of your appointment and they can tell you over the phone.
Big Hugs to you.
