Awaiting results

I had my appointment at the breast clinic yesterday and wasn't the news I'd hoped for. Had mammogram, scan and several biopsies taken from three different areas (including under arm). Have been told that the lumps are suspicious and could be cancer, but won't know until results are back. I was quite calm at the hospital but did break down at home later in the day. It's definitely going to be a long couple of weeks!!

  • The waiting is the worst isn't it? I'm under investigations for thyroid cancer (and have to have an op within the next month but then won't know if it's definitely cancer for a further 4 weeks after that) but it just feels like one long wait after another. I've found my emotions have been so up and down. One minute I'm coping fine and almost forgetting about it, the next minute I'm in tears over nothing and a complete wreck. Fingers crossed you hear soon.

  • Sorry to hear that you are also going through this difficult time. The waiting is definitely the worse bit, so draining. I also made the mistake of googling my symptoms, which showed results of rare and aggressive form of cancer. Would recommend to others not to do this, it has made my anxiety far worse. Good luck with your op next month. Xxx
