Hi 

I'm off to the breast clinic tomorrow for an armpit lump and I'm absolutely petrified too.

Try n take comfort in the fact nothing was seen on the mammograms , that's a huge positive for you :)

When will you get your biopsy results?

I'm just trying to get through life minute by minute atm til I find out what mine is.

Just wanted you to not feel alone xx 

Hi Welshmum

I was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. When I went to the breast clinic I also got a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies, the only difference between us is that I was told the likelyhood is that I had DCIS. I find the same thing in posts on here, Its the breast clinic specialists job to prepare us for the likely diagnosis its also their job to be thorough, you don't want to be in a position whereby they see something and let you leave without investigation of what it is they've seen.

As for the MacMillan card, its given as they know how scared waiting for results can be and MacMillan as well as Cancer research UK have a support line if you need to talk about your fears. Its nothing more than that.

When faced with something like this we all turn to worse care scenario, its only natural as we are so scared our critical thinking goes out the window and emotion takes over.

Your results will be back soon, I know its hard but try and keep yourself busy, no amount of worrying is going to change the results, hopefully it will turn out that you've been worrying for nothing x

Hey and thank you so much for you reply and I'm thinking of you today . It's such a scary crazy time . They said I would have a phone call this week . I've got confused because there is so much different info out there and google doctor is frying me . The sadness and fear I feel is for my children and hubby . Please keep in touch and good luck xxx

Hi and thank you so much , you really are truly inspirational . The mind is my worst enemy at present and I think the situation we are all in with the Corona virus isn't making things any easier. I walk my dogs while social distancing with a lovely old gent every morning and it really takes my mind off things . That's all we do is laugh lots . I return home then and my mind starts to wonder into the darkest of places . 
im panicking now as to do they call you in regardless of results xxx

That's kind of you. Try and stay off Dr Google as you've seen it only makes matters worse. My mantra was to keep telling myself it isnt cancer until they say its cancer, that allowed me to clam down a bit and gave me much needed breathing space. I was given an appointment to return a week later after my biopsies for the results so I don't know if everyone gets an apppintment or if they would do it over the phone, esp with coronavirus protocols now in place. For me it was a wasted journey as I already knew what I was dealing with but I think the drama queen of a nurse at my clinic likes to see people's reactions. She was disappointed when she got no reaction from me :laugh:

Hey well I had the phone call from breast clinic . A lovely nurse said she had to ring so as not to keep me waiting and causing more anxiety . All tests have shown I have Fibroadenoma. She explained everything and certainly put my mind at ease . Hope you are both doing ok xx

Thats great news Welshmum
