  • HI Samtayne,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am sorry to hear about your health anxiety. You have done the right thing by getting this investigated. Your blood test and ultrasound should show whether or not there is any cancer present. I lost both of my parents to cancer too and have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 14 years myself. Treatments have improved dramatically in the past few years and there was just no comparison between the diagnosis, treatment and after care, which my mum and I experienced. I still lead a busy and fufilling life.

    Do you have a date for your ultrasoumd yet? Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
