Welcome Lauren. 

No need to apologise for jumping in! I was the most recent crasher and everyone has been really lovely and supportive.

Really sorry to hear you are in this situation. Have they said what will happen next? Biopsy? Etc.

There are a few of us here with young children so can truly empathise and understand how horrific you are feeling.

Sending best wishes xx

Thanks so much xx

Thanks Linze x

Hello Lauren,

No worries about crashing!! We've all been holding each other up on here! We're all in different places. I had benign results following a biopsy, after calcification was seen on my mammogram. I too was in a state, as I have 6 children. I've stayed on this thread as I want to see theses ladies through their journeys, and out the other side! 
What is your story so far? Did you get a referral because you were worried about a lump, or is it a chance find? 
Mine was for a lump, that turned out to be ok, and then calcification on the other boob! Which turned out also to be nothing. 
 

Try square breathing when you're feeling your mind is wondering. So breath in for 4, hold in for 4, out for 4, hold out for 4. That and praying has helped keep me calm while I was in the waiting game. Xxx

I found a lump went the GP. Paid for a private ultrasound which states the lump is suspecious and possible cancer. That's all I know and I just feel like I'm going to die. I'm 28 years old and I feel left alone. 

Oh bless you. Did your GP refer you to the breast clinic? And have you been referred fir a biopsy? As that the only way to know if it's benign or malignant. You're not alone in this fear stage. But it will pass. Xxx

Hi Lauren, 

I know we are just randoms on a chat but we are all here for you so you are not alone. We understand and are more than happy to chat, listen to your fears and offer any support we can. 

Take care of yourself xx

Hi Mary

Hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread but I have been finding this forum very helpful and reassuring since December when I was diagnosed with two areas of DCIS in my left breast- I'd never heard of DCIS before.  I was initially told I would have a mastectomy which completely blindsided me as I always thought that was a last resort. My consultant then decided he could do a lumpectomy instead which I am having this Wednesday 9th, which I think is two days before yours. 

Like everyone, I haven't slept properly for a couple of months and am looking forward and dreading Wednesday at the same time! I keep hoping it's all a bad dream.

Wishing you the best of luck for Friday and to everyone else on this journey. X
