Hello Mandybird

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you've also been advised you need a hysteroscopy to investigate a lump in your womb. it sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the moment and it's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed. 

It's good to hear that you've already had your lumpectomy and hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for those results. Hopefully, the team will be able to give you some reassurance about the recommended next steps. 

We have a number of ladies who have been or are going through treatment for breast cancer. Paula1943 has shared her story of recent diagnosis in this thread and it sounds like you are potentially at similar stages in your respective journies. 

If you want to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

Keep in touch Mandybird and let us know how you get on. We're here to listen and offer any advice we can. 

Best wishes,

thank you jenn for your response and kind words,

it really is comforting knowing there is someone out there who understands, the breast care team are wonderful but I feel I don't want to take up too much of their time,

I am staying very positive and I speak quite light hearted about it all to family and friends but the last few days I've had a bit of a wobble not knowing if I can continue with the positiveness!..but I will because I have to I cannot give in as I will feel I am letting my family down because I don't want to be a worry for everyone,

I will feel much better when i see my consultant to say how the  breast operation went, and also what the next steps are with "the other lump" as I refer to it!.

kindest regards to all
