Worried

Hello,

I know nobody can answer this but I'm really struggling.

My Mum had breast cancer 10 years ago and had a mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy, she found a lump near her scar and has been back to the breast clinic yesterday. 
 

They sonographer said there were changes on the scan and the consultatant said the area was worrying, they did a biopsy and we are now waiting until Monday for the results.

I am worried sick, I can't eat or sleep and keep having terrible thoughts.

I can't bear the thought of my mum going through this again and I'm petrified it's going to be the worst news you could get.

please help  

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I realise that this must be worry for you and your mum but there is really no way of us knowing what this is, but at least you now know when the results will be known. Hopefully it is nothing serious but I will say that even if it is cancer that has come back it may still be able to be get rid of.  

    Please try to cope with this and if you can try to keep your mind busy doing other things, which I know must be difficult to do.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
