Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm due to go to the hospital for tests this Monday following the sudden appearance of a painful rash, and lump, on my breast. Hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.
Hello,I know it is worrying but try not too,whatever the diagnosis you will cope,I've been through it all and thank goodness I'm ok,it's not all doom and gloom hope all will be ok for you.
It is worrying going to the hospital for an appointment. My appointment is also on Monday for the breast clinic. I have my fingers crossed for you. Here if you want a chat x
Thank you so much. It's so hard not to worry, especially when you've had cancer before. You're right, I know I will cope, just hoping that I don't have to again x
Definitely the wait is awful, the 6 week wait to get an appointment was so hard. Fingers crossed for you. Thank you so much. I think i'm starting to get a bit anxious about the appointment but I am going for long walks to tire my self out as I don't think I will be sleeping tomorrow night xx
I'm anxious too, although looking forward to it in the sense that will find out what's going on. The not knowing is always the worst bit. I've been doing some exercises to help me sleep. I never expected they would actually work but they do. You work through different muscle groups one by one, tensing for a few seconds whilst breathing in, and then relaxing whilst breathing out. I usually start with the feet, then legs, tummy, shoulders, arms, hands and then finally tensing them all together before relaxing. I don't remember laying there still trying to sleep afterwards, so it must be working! Give it a try x
I know what you mean, its a mix of emotions. Oo thank you for the advice I will definitely try that out tonight. Are you taking anyone with you to your appointment? I'm taking my other half so that he can support me but also take in any information I may miss. I have everything crossed for you that it goes well tomorrow xx
