NICOL 78

HI Nichol78

I'm sorry to read that you have found a lump, and yes it is a worrying time,and the wait to get seen just adds to your stress. 

But there are a number of things that it could be  doesn't always have to be anything  sinister  ,the first thing that us  woman think of when finding a lump is ,have I got cancer.

Some of us go on to find it is,but not all of us woman do it could be a cyst.

I was diognosed with breast cancer in May 2020,had lumpectomy, spread to my lymph nodes so had them all removed from under my right arm. I recently found another lump in the same breast  I was so worried, I had to wait 4 weeks to see consultant, have ultrasound done,but thank goodness it was just a cyst this time. I was so relieved.

So just wanted to let you know,sometimes it is good news.

And to be honest yes the cancer diognosees was a shock, but in reality I'm glad I found it when I did, as if I hadn't of done  things could have been worse.  As finding it helped save my life,so I'm.glad I actually found it. If it your lump did  turn out to be cancer,  which im.hoping it wont be, but if it is  getting the treatments as soon as possible that you need could save you too. Cancer trestments are scary,but I got through 8 chemotherapy sessions 15 radiotherapy  treatments,yes you feel a bit,sore tired etc but i was never sick or felt sick and thought inwould be anti sicknesspills were smazing ,but I got through it, and I was so scared,but it realy was not as bad as I thought it would all be.  I hope this helps to ease your mind,as I said yours could be a cyst,like my second lump was. Good luck  with everything. X

Thank you for your reply, I'm praying it's a cyst. I go from being convinced it's just hormonal to be being petrified it's cancer. I have 5 adult children and 4 year old twins and that's making me panic. I'm glad you're doing okay and I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I've had rib, back, neck and leg pain on the same side and very low iron and I think thanks making me worry that something has been missed. I'm staying away from Dr Google so I don't worry myself more
