Hiya 

I am new to the forum and I am so worried as well.

I found a lump on my right breast a couple of days ago and i have an appointment with my gp next Thursday...the waiting game is the hardest ...I cannot stop crying and thinking the worst...it is really hard .

I hope you get some great results .

You too it's a worrying  time for sure.  I feel exactly  the same.  My best day this week as so busy at work.  Distraction  seems to be the best thing right now. Hope your results are good too x

Thank you so much I will let you know how I get on  next Thursday. 

Really hard to concentrate in anything at the moment!!

I hope you are keeping well . Thinking about you. Xxx

You too hun I'm Wed. I'm keeping as busy as poss but it's just constantly in yr head.   It seems it's like this for everyone.  I'm taking myself off to the coast  for the weekend fresh air and fish and chips  treat.  Good luck thinking of you x

xx

How did you get on Hun let me know when you are ready.  Thinking of you x

Hi Madgee,

So good to hear from you x

I was a mess this morning! I was so scared ...I could not sleep or think about anything else.

 I saw my GP this  morning and he said that he could feel a small lump, most likely a fibroadenoma  and that he had  to refer meto the breast clinic! I was so terrified when he sid that !

I also found out that the wait here in Scotland is 8-12 weeks !! I am not sure how I am going to be able to think anything else apart from what is going to happen when I go to the clinic .

Very scared !!

I hope you had a great time away ! 

Did you see the doctor yesterday? Did you have any news?

I hope everything is well with you. Please keep in touch.xxx

Try not to worry if that's what it is that's good news.  Bless you it's a long wait but I don't think they would make u wait that long if it was of concern I really don't.  That said you won't relax fully till you have your all clear Hun.  I didn't get the best news as mine is cancer and although I was prepared I'm still reeling.  On a positive it's almost certainly curable but I have quite a journey ahead of me.  I will let you know how I get along.  I was prepared for the diagnosis as there wasn't really any reassurance or words like don't worry at my initial review and remember I had biopsies there and then.  In yr case there is reassurance and that's really good. Stay strong and positive I'm confident you will get a good result so try and have as much normal as possible while you wait.  My wait was only 2 weeks for results but they were worried and were  vocal about that.  They are professionals who see this every day.  Don't make yourself poorly with stress it's all very consuming.  Keep in touch xxxxx

Hi Madgee,

So really sorry to hear about your news , please be strong !!

In all this at least you know that ot is curable and these are words that come from people who are professionals. 

It is hard to stay focused and try and occupy your mind with other things !!  I have not really said anything to the family apart form my hubby ,who is really supportive and always try to be so positive .

I can only hope and pray for all us to be well .

Please keep in touch. Sending g all my love xxxxx

Thank you .we are lucky we have our incredible  NHS and they will do everything to give us the best outcome.  Try not to worry I have loads of friends that have lumpy boobs and they get regular checks and lumps benign but it doesn't stop them worrying  before every check. Try stay up beat  I'm feeling really positive about your outcome you should to.   Keep busy hun.  Let me know how u get on x

Thank you . You too xxx  

Good morning Madgee,

I just wanted to see how you are.  

I am up and started wfh , I am trying to keep my mind occupied as much as possible.  Try and keep a brave face for my husband and my young daughter.  It is difficult!

I was thinking about you ! Keep in touch . Xxxx

Hello lovely I'm very up and down but have everything  moving towards my treatment.  Sleep has been a real issue and without it we are over emotional  and irrational  so make sure you get plenty of sleep.   I find talking to my hubby, a lot, has helped so don't try putting  a brave face on to much, if ur worried share with him.  I am sure you will be OK because I don't think you would have such a long wait if they were really concerned hun.  Nevertheless  it won't stop you worrying so try and distract yourself as much as poss. Thinking of you too stay positive  xxx

Hi all, 

I'm so glad I found this forum - it's been so reassuring to see so much positivity! 

I've been diagnosed with breast cancer on Friday, after receiving my mammogram/ultrasound/biopsy a week ago, and it's been a whirlwind of emotions. I'm 30, just got back from my honeymoon and this is definitely not how I envisioned we would start our marriage. 

I found a 2cm lump, and the ultrasound showed some of my lymphnodes were affected. Part of the tumor is invasive and part is non-invasive, but they have already confirmed its grade 3. My specialist has said that apparently duct breast cancer is very treatable (holding onto these words for dear life), but waiting for the MRI/CT scan is honestly so terrifiying. And I'm glad to read i'm not the only one who struggles with this!! I'm also still trying to comprehend that I'm going to be send to the fertility clinic as chemo might impact my fertility, so it's a lot to take in.. 

Trying to keep myself busy while I wait for the additional scans and hoping the news won't get any worse.. 

Sending you all strength!

Hi Elvira ,

Welcome and I am so sorry to hear about your news .

It can be really difficult I completely understand! 

I found waiting for tests and results is the worse part .

I am trying to keep my mind busy with work , house work and talking to my hubby . He has been really supportive!

Also speaking to all these lovely ladies in the forum definitely helped .

Please  try and be strong !

 Thinking of you and keep in touch xxxx

Bless you  it's very surreal especially  for you so young.   But yes I was told the same very curable so hang on to that.  Keep in touch and stay strong you got this girl. Sending you massive hugs.  Much love  

How are you coping Hun? You have been in my thoughts.  I have spoke to my care team a few times when my mind has been running wild and they have been so kind and reassuring.  They have told me to speak to them when I get fixated on dark thoughts and every time they lift me and make me think more rationally so please speak with them if you too get too down with it all.  Sending love x

You're too kind! :)

I've had my CT scan and MRI yesterday/today and am meeting my oncologist tomorrow morning. So I'm hoping it will help to get some clarity on treatment! It is a strange feeling knowing that something is wrong in your body, but you just have to sit around and wait which I think fuels the anxiety even more. 

The nurse today was ever so kind when I had my MRI, she calmed me down and told me to just focus on taking 1 step at a time. So I'm currently trying to take my mind off of things and keeping busy. I know me worrying about the results won't change the outcome so I'm trying my hardest to not think about it constantly.  

Really pleased to hear your care team has been so kind and reassuring! The dark thoughts are always around the corner, but it is good that you have people you can turn too when the thoughts get too heavy. 

Please know that we are all here for you too! X
