Feeling alone

So after having initial appointment and biopsies on both breasts and diagnosed with cancer, then having to suffer an MRI and then get told I have to have more biopsies on my left breast I'm no further forward, even got told they might not have biopsied the right area and might need more through an MRI. Feels like there's no professional support and no understanding of how they make me feel like a slab of meat on a table 

  • Sorry to hear that Ellie, I got a lot of support from my GP. The waiting has been the worst for me. From going to the doctors with a lump on my neck to being diagnosed with terminal cancer has taken 2 months. Now I wait for a chemo appointment. Tim

  • Hello mine diagnosis is still ongoing 5 months in pain all gp has only given me painkillers, my mind is empty and can't even walk down the road, a & e won't help me they leave me outside in a wheelchair.ambulance crew said if phone 999 again they will section me

  • Hi Ellie,

    Sorry to read that you're feeling that way, though I quite understand the feeling. My guess (I'm only a cancer patient, not a doctor) is that the MRI scan will be to work out whether or not the cancer has spread. Someone should have explained this to you and asked whether you had any questions.

    Best wishes
