Hello

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.

  • I had good news, the lump was caused by an infection. So relieved, but also so shocked as was expecting the worst x

  • Hi Hun, how did you get on? I had good news, lump is down to an infection. Hope you had good news too. Here if you need me x

  • Hey hun, aw thats good I am soo happy for you. I had good news too. It's something to do with my breast tissue, she said the little bubbles I could feel were pockets of tissue and not to squeeze them. The lump is ok its to do with my hormones. I feel so relieved. She also advised me the best time to check my boobs is the week after my period and if I find anything else to go back to the doctors. Yesterday I felt so relieved/emotionally spent I left my phone alone and chilled out. Thank you for all the support, I would have been lost without this forum. I am so glad that I found it xx

  • That's fantastic! I was so worried about posting in case yours was bad news. I think I'm in shock to be honest, really had convinced myself the news would be bad, mainly with the help of Google...Still feeling a little worried, will be much happier when the bruise goes away! I agree, this forum is brilliant. I was thinking of you yesterday and really am so pleased for you. Take care xx

  • Thank you, I was also worried about posting incase you had bad news so I thought I would hold off until you posted. I know I was convinced it was something bad but had looked in to everything so that if the worst happened I had a plan. I like a good plan me. They also offered me genetic testing based on my family history, she said they will send me out a form to fill in and then I will get called earlier for a mammogram. I am soo happy for you, I am going to take a few days to let it all sink in before I return to work. I hope the bruise heals fast for you. Thank you so much. Take care and celebrate your good news. I celebratated mine by having chips (health freak) I am just so excited to be able to get back to lifting my weights. Take care xx
