Hi M.suv,

I am sorry to hear that you've had such a bumpy cancer journey so far and hope that your Mastectomy scar is now healing after being re-stitched.

I wish that I had some magic suggestions to help you cope with more tests and then waiting patiently for results. Most of us would agree that this is the hardest time in our cancer journey - even first time around! The best advice seems to be to try and keep yourself busy and your mind pre-occupied, whether this is with work, visiting friends, going to the theatre or to see a film - any pastime that will help to take your mind away from the wait. 

I have some idea of the agonies that you are going through. I had 2 diagnoses of breast cancer in my right breast and 1 of pre-cancer in my left, all within a year of each other. I had a Lumpectomy at first, then a Double Mastectomy for the other bouts. I had lost my mum to secondary breast cancer and was terrified. It is so hard to cope with the "not knowing" and this causes our overactive imaginations to take us to all sorts of dark places. Irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better once you have a firm diagnosis. I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is identified in your left breast - when are you likely to get the results of your mammogram?

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
