Benign result

Hello

Last year I was diagnosed with Breast cancer, it was caught early. I went through the process and had the cancer and Lymph nodes removed.

I have Radiotherapy and am now on Anastrozole.

A few weeks ago I was called for my yearly mammogram. I was on holiday and received a call from the Breast unit, they had found something in my other breast.

It was the day of my 1 year cancer free appointment when they called. We were hoping to celebrate that evening but I was so scared and anxious.

I has an appointment in 4 days to go back to the breast unit.

I have a mammogram, scans and a biopsies.

I have received the results and its benign, which is brilliant news - but I'm really struggling with this news and can't seem to lift myself out of this anxious feeling, I'm exhausted and so low.

  • Dear Jinny,

    Of course you are feeling exhausted. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. Try to take the good news at face value. Doctors always like to err on the side of caution so that’s why they called you back in for tests. Put your one year cancer free milestone at the front of your mind and push the niggling doubts to the back. Enjoy the moment and give yourself some time to breathe.

    All the best…
