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  

Hope all goes well today sending you lots of love xxxx 

Hi Zoe,

Thank you for your support xx

I've just had my 3rd Chemo and so far so good. I'm now half way through (yeah!) just 3 more sessions before my surgery. In 3weeks at my next session, I will change to a different chemo and start my HERS2 targeted therapy.

Lots of love Lilyanne xx♥️

Your so brave and inspirational! Your smashing this

Hi hope you are well ? Just wanted to let you know my referral came ! To cut a long story short ! I was taken into hospital ok the 1st Jan which was my dads birthday , the referall was made on the 7th which was the anniversary of my nans death and today is my grandads birthday who's also passed and my appointment came through! I hope it's not coincidence but all 3 dates of my family who aren't here is that a sign they are looking after me! ! Anyways I have my appointment this Thursday at 8pm the nurse said I'm booked for everything so I presume that means scans and a biopsy which I'm absolutely terrified of! I CD not stop shaking I'm so scared ! ‍♀️

Hold on in there Zoe. Try to keep your mind on the positive. Your appointment has come through quickley and on Thursday you will go through whatever tests you need to get some answers. I know this is a really scary time for you, our thoughts naturally always go straight to the worse case imaginable. Take it a step at a time. They're usually very supportive at the Breast Clinic. Try to focus on your appointment. Prepare some questions to ask your doctor. Remember at this stage , hopefully, it still might be something else xx

I'm Sending you a big hug and lots of love and positive vibes

Hey lovely thank you so much for your kind wise words ! I don't think I can go through with it , I'm so scared I can't stop crying ! I know there are much stronger people out there and I sound so bad! But the biopsy is freaking me out so bad ! I really want a general but a local is being given ! I'm *** it xxx 

Hi Zoe,

I wanted to offer some reassurance. I've had two biopsies and didn't feel either of them. You'll be given local anaesthetic and it's highly unlikely you'll feel anything more than a little pressure. I think the whole waiting side of things is the worst and you must be in shock after discovering this like you did but think of it as fortuitous as you may not have known for a long time. Just keep thinking of those loved ones looking down on you. You can do this, you really can. 

Big hugs

Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm just so so scared ! I'm so worried about the outcome, it is what it is ! But the biopsy thoight is making me so I'll I've got palpitations, nausea and migraine I'm in a right state crying so bad! I've had 4 babies aswell! I'm terrified of it! I wish I could have a general not local! xxx 

I'd rather have a breast biopsy than go to the dentist! You don't even see anything as they'll ask you to turn away, and I didn't feel anything even after the local had worn off. I understand completely how you're feeling, my anxiety was through the roof and I cried too. It's completely normal but once you know what you're dealing with, the anxiety gets better. Your mind will be going to all kinds of dark places but you will rationalise everything when you know. Knowledge is power! You'll be reet, I promise you. Get Thursday out of the way and when you see how kind and reassuring everyone is you'll feel better. 

Best of luck xx

Thank you so so much I shall definitely try to take my mom did it today and tomorrow for sure ! I'm not too worried about what they find because I can't change anything depending on what it is! It's just this biopsy it's literally making me feel so ill! But thank you so much for your reassurance means so much!
