Mammagramme results

Hi all 

Sorry to post this as I don't have my results as yet , but the stress and worry of the waiting is making me ill 

I had a mammogram just over 4 weeks ago , a week later got a letter saying had to be done again due to error , so about 16 days ago I went again , they only wanted one breast screening , unfortunately for me I got a nurse well shall we say not very understanding, I said it was machine was clamped at tight on my boob and was painful , I moved slightly and she moaned put her hands up in the air and said it's blurred again , she then showed the the scan on screeen god noes why cos I didn't ask to see , now I'm a nervous wreck as could see a white spot , so for the last 16 days I've been Googling and got myself in a state .

mum has had breast cancer twice hormonal lumpectomy twice , she then had radiotherapy and been fine .

I've now think I've found a small soft limp under nipple where the white spot was on scan I'm 58 .

any advice be helpful 

 

  • I could tell you not to worry until you get a result one way or another but I know from personal experience that it's not possible.

    I was in a similar position last January and unfortunately was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma.

    I've been through chemotherapy, lumpectomy, axillary lymph node removal and now am on 12/20 sessions of radiation therapy.

    All I can say is that if you get a positive diagnosis take it one day/ stage at a time and you will be able to get through it.

    I'm a total nervous Nelly and at the beginning I felt that there was no way I could endure all of that  but here I am.. looking forward to finishing treatment and hopefully getting back to some kind of normality.

    I hope that you have good support from your family and friends and that if the worst comes that you will find the strength that you didn't know you have...and get through this.

    Stay strong
