Awaiting breast clinic appointment. Anyone else?

Hi, iv been referred for a one stop breast clinic appointment after a ct  scan showed i have 3cm growth on my left breast. I had no idea it was there i  am currently waiting for someone to ring me with an appointment. Which is taking a lifetime.

 

Iv been reading some posts on here and everyone I so lovely supportive of each other, i really dont want to worry my family anymore than i already have, with my fears etc. I was wondering if anyone here is going through the same thing or is currently on their wait and would like to chat.

  • Hi Minnie 

    My appointment is tomorrow and I'm worried sick. I have an inverted nipple and pain so totally convinced that it's serious. I've lost weight and can't sleep or even think about anything else at the moment.

    it does help to chat here though as we have one another for support.

  • Hi, my appointment is next Friday I'm so scared and keep thinking the worst.  I'm 35 and have a 2 year old who I couldn't imagine leaving behind.  I found a lump under my areola 4 weeks post miscarriage and they've referred to the breast clinic.  I've also had lingering cough for 7 weeks now and scared it's serious and has already spread!  See, I think the worst!  Appointment needs to come fast!  Hope you are doing okay, fingers crossed for you all ladies xx

    Hi Pauline,

    I just want to wish you all the best for your appointment later today. It is hard to think of anything else whilst you're waiting for a diagnosis. Irrespective of the outcome, you will feel better once you know what you are dealing with.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

    Here's hoping for good news.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Michelle,

    First of all let me say how very sorry I am to hear about your miscarriage. Most of us tend to think the  worst at this stage, but fortunately this doesn't always turn out to be the case. Here's hoping that your symptoms may be due to hormonal changes during your pregnancy, as you have already had more than enough to cope with. 

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Pauline,  sorry to hear this I am sure ur worried sick,  good luck at your appointment today, I'll be thinking of you,  glad the waiting part is over for you, and you will finally get some answers.  Please let me know how it goes at your appointment. Good luck xx

  • Thinking of you today. We are all rooting for you. X

  • Hi jolamine

    im just back from hospital and it's good news. I was so distressed at my appointment but everyone I saw was so lovely. Had a full examination and then mammogram. 
    This showed fybrocystic changes and a cyst in my other breast that I wasn't even aware I had. 
    They explained that post menopausal changes in breast tissue can change look and feel of breast as I had some thickening going on. No explanation for nipple retraction other than hormonal and aging ( I've also lost weight too)as I've been on and off HRT for last few years due to supply issues. 
    Lesson learned never to ever ever miss a mammogram call again!

    Thank you so much for everyone and your support. 
    I will continue to pray for everyone worried and affected by this illness.

  • Thank you

    All is well but the stress and worry of it all has pushed me mentally and I have realised I need to speak to my GP about this. 
    I sincerely hope all is good with you too and thank you so so much for your support and best wishes.

  • Hi minnie

    all is good thankfully. I have been left now with mental stress after what I put myself through. 
    I have been going "cold Turkey" after suddenly stopping HRT which had not helped but the worry is unbearable! 
    I sincerely hope all goes well for you too. 
    I will be thinking of you and praying that all goes well for you also.
