good luck , I had breast cancer july 22 I was told suspicion from the first appointment so I sort of knew I was getting a diagnosis , after 7 day wait it was confirmed.

tdy not to worry there is no way of knowing until those results come back 

keep busy busy wishing you all the luck in the world love Lara xxxx

Hi your doing the right thing trying to keep busy but I know how u feel waiting on these results ,I'd to wait for 12 day's for mine,I found keeping a note book with me at all times helped even if u just manage to scribble down part of what u hear and name of person u spoke to hope this might help 

Ye do and bring the note pad with u when u go for your results write down any questions u may have now and if needed hopefully not u can ask what u wanted to know,they don't mind u doing so, if it doesn't go well they will advise u to keep notes because it can all get very confusing trying to keep track of what's happening when do u get results 

You can always ask if they mind if you record the conversation on your phone or use the otter app which transcribes conversations so you can read what was said later.

I think I will do this, of they allow it. 

I guess all the questions depend on what the lump is. I'm trying to stay hopeful its nothing to worry about, but the word "suspicious" keeps creeping in and making me think the worst.

   Nettietoo's suggestion much better as u won't miss anything that said  u are totally normal to have these feelings and taughts,I was the same but unfortunately I didn't get the news I was hoping for.Have u got someone to go with u partner or friend family member as if needed they can be another ear and most of all support for u

how are you doing when is your results appointment hopefully it’s soon xx love Lara xxx

No harm in asking.  I use the Otter app to transcribe, I think you get 3 hours free a month before you need to pay.  Its specifically for meetings so starts a new paragraph every time a different person speaks which makes reading it back easy.  I find reading what is said more beneficial than an audio.  You can also copy and paste the conversation into Word and highlight the important bits.  Good luck.

It's a pity I didn't know all this in January I was uo the wall trying to remember what I was being told I've never heard of it that's for sharing 

I'll have look for it  as well might need it on Thursday 

Yes my partner is coming with me. He's been amazingly supportive. 

Thank you so much, I will definitely download that ready for the appointment.

Hi Welly,

Most of us forget about 80% of what is said in a consultation, before we leave the hospital. It is always worth writing down any questions you may have before an appointment, as it is all too easy to forget something important in the heat of the moment. Nettietoo's idea of using the Otter app is a great idea, as nothing will be overlooked that way.

I shall be thinking of you on Thursday and hope that it is good news.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,
