Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with Covid.However it may turn out that you've been fortunate as it has identified a mass that you were previously unaware of and now it will be fully investigated.

The waiting is the hardest part and our minds always focus in on the worst outcomes and make us sick with worry.  Please take comfort from the fact that only 1to2 people out of every 10 referrals to the breast clinic end up with a cancer diagnosis. The flickering pains you're experiencing may be a good sign because most cancers are painless.

I was referred to the breast clinic in October after finding lumps. Unfortunately after having mammogram scan + biopsies, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm currently on chemotherapy prior to surgery.

I hope everything goes ok for you and that you get some answers soon. 

Please let me know how you get on.

Extending a big hug to you

Hi I'm so sorry to hear of your news! I hope you don't feel too poorly from your treatment! How very kind of you to reply to my post! I've been going out of my mind with worry! And the fact I can't feel any lumps is scary because I know something is there ! Just want the appointment over with! It's the fear of the unknown which is the worst ! And I've also read the biopsy is painful I'm so scared  

Hi, My Chemo is going ok thank you. I feel lucky as so far,  it's not been as bad as I expected it would be. I have my third cycle on Saturday and it will be half way through my 6 cycles.

I know what you're going through as I've been there and not that long ago (October). The not knowing is torture. Try to stay positive at this point as there is still a good chance that it's something else. Depending on what shows on your mammogram and scan, you may not need to have a biopsy. Just take it one step at a time.

Sending you positive vibes 

Keep in touch

Love Lilyanne xx

Hi Lilyanne,

Hope you are ok. 

I went to my Gp around the same time as you 24/12/21?, and referred to the breast clinic on 8/12/21, around same time as you? Diagnosed with the same B/C, but mine is possibly 7cm only in right breast. I am told my lymph nodes are clear. 

What I don't understand is, you are well on your way with your treatment, and I haven't even had my treatment plan discussed yet! Do you think its the area we live in? Or is it because both your breasts have been affected? This baffles me.

I hope you are managing and doing well

Much love xx :love:
