Many of us will readily understand the tension of waiting - some people find that the worst experience of all. Your doctors are doing the right thing, however terrifying it may be.

I didn't find a lump, my breast suddenly became rather red and tender (not worsening pain). When I did find a rather painful lump under my arm on the other side of the affected breast it was a schwannoma (non-malignant). So hard to tell at this stage.

Very best wishes for Friday.
