Hi Gina 

sorry to hear of your diagnosis 

Two of my friends have been through breast cancer within the last 12 months abs are doing really well 

sending you hugs 

I've been referred to my local breast clinic due to finding a lump in my left breast on Saturday 

I feel numb , just so on auto pilot 

Sorry I haven't got any advice but just wanted to send a hug

Hi Rachel,

Thank you for the virtual hug, I totally understand the feeling numb. I think that's only natural. 

The best advise I could give you is keep yourself busy. I'm sure you will be fine though even tho the waiting is hard. Hopefully you'll won't have cancer and I pray you don't. 

Keep in touch and know I'm here if you wanna chat.

Sending hugs right back at ya x

Gina

Gina and Amy 

Thank you so so much for your message and the hugs 

I really appreciate it 

Did you guys find the waiting and not knowing really difficult? 
I think it's the unknown? 

It's lovely to read your posts as it really does help 

You're both really inspiring so thank you  

I'm finding this all really hard , I can't concentrate on anything and I'm not sleeping or eating much but I know I need to keep it together 

Take care xx 

Rachie73, def this waiting & not knowing is horrendous. I saw my GP last Mon (30th) & my hospital appt is Mon 14th. Last week I was ok really, now I'm a nervous wreck & feel so emotional.

Gina Amy & Rachie - sending you big hugs xx

Thanks for your messages Gina and Amy 

Good luck with your MRI Gina , 

Amy , well done in finishing your chemotherapy and good luck with your op in January 

Its lovely to know I'm not alone as it feels very lonely at times 

My friends were diagnosed 2 months apart , but they've done absolutely amazing, both had chemotherapy and ops and are doing so well, 

Sending hugs to you both

Awwww Sarah thank you so much 

you've done amazingly to keep it together ! Well done 

I'm only 1 day down and really not coping ..... I know I must sound like such a wimp so huge apologies 

Always here to chat

Rachie, I've sent you a friend request - we can support each other through this awful waiting game & whatever outcomes

Sarah and Rachel

I know exactly how worried you both must be now and I really sympathise with you. I found a lump and I shrugged it off as nothing for a while. But then I had other breast changes and i just knew deep down that something wasn't right. I really wanted to avoid the drs and breast clinic but i knew i had to deal with it either way. I felt sick, couldn't  sleep and couldn't focus on anything else. It is a really stressful time but most lumps are benign. Whatever the outcome is, you will feel better once you know. And yeah, the waiting is the hardest part! Good luck with your appointments

Hi Amy 

thank you for your lovely message , it's so comforting and I'm really grateful 

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this but you are such an inspiration to us that have just joined looking for some comfort 

To be honest I've felt for a whole that my left breast wasn't quite normal 

I put it down to hormones but on Saturday when I felt the lump it's just been sheer panic 

Thanks again 

Big hugs 

Rach xx
