Hi Sarah,

sorry to hear you are awaiting results. It's the most excruciating thing not knowing. I'm waiting for my breast care clinic appointment after finding a lump so in the waiting game too. I'm also exactly the same about looking at others posts and experiences there's something in knowing you aren't alone and that the outcomes all vary. 
 

sorry that I can't offer any advice or wisdom. Just wanted to say hi and sympathise from one worried overthinker to another.

Hi Worried,

Thank you for reading and replying. I'm sorry that you are waiting, do you have a date yet?

Sarah x

No date yet as only saw GP yesterday. I've been warned it could be 4 weeks which sounds like an eternity right now

It is, and aside from a steady flow of wine can't suggest anything that works. My wait was exactly 4 weeks from GP referral to appointment yesterday. Once I was given the date after about a week I felt a lot more in control of the situation, so hopefully it will be the same for you too.

One of the nurses I saw yesterday told me that the holidays slowed things down a bit, but it's speeding up now. The radiographer also said that I was lucky to go in this side of December as everything was starting to run smoothly again. Fingers crossed that this is the case where you are too and you will be seen sooner xx

Hi Sarah,

Sorry too meet you in these Circumstances.

I was diagnosed with IDC in October, I went alone to my appointment as the Gp said she thought my lump could be a cyst and wasn't overly concerned,

I went to the breast clinic. when I had my Ultrasound that day the Lady told me it was breast Cancer she did a biopsy and put a marker in. 
it was like an outer body experience, I was completely floored. 
 

I went back a week later with my Husband where they confirmed it.

I must admit once I knew what I was dealing with I felt better! The unknown is sooo scary.

I am 38 with 2 sons it was so Scary to be told I had cancer.

I have since had 2 Surgeries to remove it and have started Chemo followed by radiotherapy and then Tamoxifen.

Treatments are so advanced. 
i hope it's not BC and you get good news!

i think of this as a Bump in the Road

love Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for running through that with me. Your positive outlook is really inspiring. I hope that you are responding well to your treatment plan.

Your breast clinic appointment sounds similar to mine, although worse in that you were given that shock diagnosis on the day. I'm so sorry. Sending lots of love to you and your family xx

It is worth mentioning maybe to anyone else reading that you CAN bring someone with you to the breast clinic. I had a generic covid page in my appointment letter that said to come alone so I did. Everything I remember from ultrasound onwards is hazy because I was so shocked like you described Sarah - floored. 

Thanks Sarah I wondered if Christmas and new year etc possibly held up the last few weeks.

I am sorry you've still got a wait on your hands. I hope the next week passes quickly for you.

Thankyou, yes treatment is okay, it's as I thought but I'm on this whirlwind so just need too ride it out. 
 

You will find that Things can change as your journey goes along, don't be down if your told one thing and then it changes, It's just part of the process. 
 

When you go for your results they will know what type you have and will decide what the best path is for you, it's all so different. It's still small which is good news and you found it which is even better news.

i know what you mean about family, the thing is with me I just want too push on and get this sorted and try and pretect my loved ones as much as possible.

If you need to run anything past me after your results feel free if i will try too help. 

i really hope that it is positive results.

But like i say, the treatments are so advanced, you will be okay.  Just a bump in the road xx
