We are off to the Lake District with the girls and can't wait!  Will def enjoy a Gin or two!!

I hope you are doing ok, I'll update you as soon as I hear something :-) xx

Hi Jane

How are you?

I got a call from the hospital earlier to confirm a telephone appointment on Monday so I'm feeling happy! I can't imagine receiving any bad news over the phone and figure if they needed me to have more tests they would just book it in straight away so fingers crossed everything is all ok xx

Thanks Jane! Have a great weekend and I'll update you Monday! xx

Hi Jane

How are things? 
 

Just had my call with the clinician. Right breast all fine! Left breast I do need to have two more biopsies so they can get larger area just to double check. He said one under mammogram again (the one for the calcifications where I nearly fainted) and then another with ultrasound with larger needle. Not sure what to make of it really. I really hoped this would be the end

Hi Mandy

How was your break away?

I am ok, had a full on wobble yesterday and last night and cried my eyes out this morning. I have phoned the breast clinic to ask some more questions as I have forgotten everything that was said to me at my last appointment and they have changed my next appointment from 5th August to tomorrow. I will feel better once I have spoken to the consultant again but this time, I am going to record the discussion.

Dont panic......... 50% there.....

Did your right breast have calcifications as well as a lump like your left breast?  The mamogram will be to take a biopsy of your calcifications and I assume the ultrasound will be to take a biopsy of the lump???

It seems to me that they didnt get enough the first time and have to do it to be 100% sure. I have heard that this happens to lots of people and i would tend to think this is a good thing although unpleasant for you.

When is your appointment?

Sending big hugs and healing thoughts your way.

Oh Jane bless you, that's completely understandable. Recording your next appt is a great idea as it's so hard remembering everything that's been said. I'm already struggling to remember everything the clinician said today! 
Yes my left boob had the calcifications and a lump and right boob just a lump. I'm sure it will be ok and just that they need a larger sample to double check.

We go away again next Tue for 4 days so dreading the appt coming through for next week!! Weekend away was lovely btw, just what I needed.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, just try and relax and ask as many questions as you need as you can go back to the recording if you can't remember things.

Stay strong, you've got this!! Sending massive hugs xxx

Thank you honey.

Hopefully you get your appointment date soon. couldnt they have given you a date over the phone yesterday?

I think the waiting around is honestly the worst part of it all.

Big  hugs.

That's what's annoying! I just thought surely they could have written to me immediately with a new appointment date as now I just have to wait again. I've just phoned the hospital and given them the dates I can't attend in August as we have quite a bit on! She said she would phone me when she is booking my appt so she can double check my availability. 
 

Good luck for today xxx
