  • Hello JillyGee and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation. I can understand how unsettling this must be for you.

    Try if you can to take one step at a time. Unfortunately until the doctors have got all the test results in no one is going to be able to tell any more. There are benign (not cancer) conditions that women can get so try not to over think it for now.

    Trying to keep busy and your mind on other things can sometimes help.

    I do hope that you know more soon.

    If you would like to ring and chat through any of this with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call.

    The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
