Results of my many breast clinic tests.

After 1 MRI, numerous mammograms, two ultrasounds, 3 different types of biopsies on both breasts, I have been given the all clear for the two areas of concern. I found so much help on here when I was going through 6 weeks of waiting hell. It affected my whole life and I just wanted to say thank you to to those who messaged me and also how much I admire those who haven't had such good news. Your head always goes to the worst scenario. I stupidly googled it all which made it so much worse for myself. If anyone out there is waiting for results my advice is don't google because I have learnt that every boob is different and there is no way to second guess when it could be so many different things. I cannot thank the NHS enough x

    Thank you lovely ️ I would like to stay on here so see if I can help those going through 'waiting hell' do u think that would offer any helpful support? I have learnt so much through my experience and have the greatest respect for those who share their stories here

    Absolutely, if you want to do that it would be amazing. People are always telling me that they generally only hear the bad news and so your story would really help people to know that it really isn't the case that every breast referral means cancer.  It would offer reassurance that, sometimes I think for example, even when I give it, the fact that I do have cancer kind of takes away the reassurance when they're feeling anxious themselves. If that makes sense.  Go for it - virtual hugs Mickey xx ️

    I'm just in the middle of the tests you went through, 11 mammograms, 9 biopsies from three sites, ultrasound, MRI next Wednesday and the terrifying consultant appointment on Christmas Eve with biopsy results - could be getting Breast Cancer diagnosis for Christmas this year. Your post is one of the loveliest and positive things I've read since Monday's routine check changed my life. It's very hard to not think the worst, keep it together in front of your kids and not Google every possible scenario. I came  across your post as the consultant has refused to give biopsy results earlier than Christmas Eve and I wondered if I had a legal right to the information, so was searching.

    I'm so sorry you have had to go through this too. The Dr I saw at the start had no people skills and showed me that he had marked me down as a 5 on scoring with the word malignant written underneath. This then sent my mind spiralling out of control. This was not the case in end but the more tests I had the worse I felt. When I met the oncologist who told me the good news, she explained that she investigates absolutely every anomoly even if she suspects it's benign. But with it all being new to me I was just overwhelmed. I wish good news for you xxx I hoped my post would bring some hope to someone going through the same x
