Hi

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through and I have to say I'm in a similar situation only on the left side where I found a lump just before Easter. I had my initial appointment last week with several biopsies taken after a mammogram/ultrasound as the found another lump and some calcification (but I'm not really sure what that means) the consultant told me the lump I had found was extremely hard and she didn't like the look of it and depending on the pattern of the calcification would see if anything had spread. I've been going out of my mind and had a phone call today asking me to come in for my results at 8.30am on Monday next week. I am 44 with 2 girls age 8 and 13 I keep thinking I'm coping ok but then losing my temper or being really irritable and then tearful. My husband is being supportive but he is really worried too. I just seem to have no patience with the girls either at the moment and the seem to be playing me up more than usual and then i feel so bad for being grumpy with them.  I just want to know what I'm dealing with especially as the consultant has already prepared me the outcome might not be good. I am also wondering what happens at the results appointment?

I hope that you don't have too long to wait for your results, sending you all my best wishes.

So sorry to hear you are going through this too. The waiting does seem to be the worst part, if you're getting your results on Monday at least there isn't too much longer to wait.

Don't give yourself a harm time the the kids, this is a very stressful time and you need to cut yourself some slack. 

Wishing you lots of luck for Monday, I'll be thinking of you.

Thank you for Empathising, how are you feeling? Have you had any definite date for your next appointment?

I am struggling today and ranging from thinking the worst and needing surgery to being cross with myself and hoping it will all be nothing. 

Hurry up Monday..... 

It's been a whirlwind of emotions all week. I go from being pragmatic and optimistic thinking I can beat it, to being a wreck and being so worried about my husband and kids and how they will cope.

The breast nurse told me not to google, but it's difficult not to and I tend to look at the worst case statistics, which is probably the worst thing I should be doing. 

I have my appointment booked in for next Friday, but hopefully if they get the results earlier I'll be called in sooner. It just seems like an age away.

Best of luck for Monday, I'll have my fingers crossed for you.
