Hi Redberry, 

Good luck for tomorrow I did the same as you read loads of stories and joined later on. It actually helped me put things into perspective looking at different posts and like u said the support, caring nature and laughter! 

You are doing the right thing by keeping busy and try not to read up in things too much. The wait is the worse! I looked online and convinced myself I had inflammatory too! So avoid googling anything. 

That's good you have an idea what to expect. After my scan I had a letter in the post to confirm next appointment. The didn't mention anything to me at scan stage and were very professional. 

There are loads of lovely ladies and men here for support, we had a group that started in the summer and keep in regular contact for support and laughs and there is a lot more support out there if you are diagnosed. But please don't worry about that now one step at a time. 

What time is your appointment tomorrow. 

Big hugs

Xx

Oh thank you for taking the time to reply I really appreciate it. My appointment is at 2.45. I'm going to be at work until just before so I'll be nice and busy. I am generally very well and quite positive as well as very busy, and so just hoping for a quick outcome that puts my mind at rest. 

Yes 1 thing at a time is so important to remember. It is easy to get caught up in looking for answers to everything when sometimes just seeing what happens is the way forward. 

Whatever happens I am very grateful for your kind response. Thank you. 

Youre welcome and all the best for later. Let me know how it goes and just remember 80‰ of the time lumps are not cancerous

Hi so I'm back from the clinic and basically had 3 biopsies taken of the lump. I now have a wait of about a week before results. I feel ok about it right now but kind of resigned to the likelihood of there being some kind of cancer. The dimpling etc was a red herring, they are confident that theres no problem with that side, which is great. 

Trying to relax tonight and prepared to be very sore tomorrow from the biopsies but very pleased I went and kind if feel validated that there was something real there and it needs investigating. 

Hope I can stay positive all week whilst waiting for news. 

Thanks for being there :-) 

Hi there,

Ah that's good, glad they did the biopsies the same time as they scan, better to get it all done in one appointment.  Did they check your lymph nodes?  Glad the dimpling was of no concern.  When i had my ultrasound, i wasn't expecting a biopsy so quite a shock to the system but glad they did it one go and like you waited a week or so for the results.

As you said try not to think too much about it, out of your hands now but of course i hope its one of those pesky cysts.

You're welcome and take care of yourself this week.
