Hi Lovely,

You know I normally steer clear of forums and online groups as I find some people can be so mean and  abusive but all I've found on this site is support, kindness and caring and I'm only too happy to give my support and reassurance to anyone that needs it. The fact that I'm going through this only helps to understand what others may be feeling so it seems a waste of that to be sitting at home just feeling helpless and sorry for myself, I'm glad to help :love:

I also find it hard to talk to people in person...never can find the right words at the time but when I write I can think more easily about what I want to say.

I've been waiting since the 5th of April and my results appointment moved from the 14th to the 22nd April due to the clinic falling on Good Friday, others have had longer waits so I must be thankful for that.

As you quite rightly say, it is a very positive thing that the spiculated mass was found when it was otherwise I'd have probably not got a routine mammogram until I was 50 which is just over 3 years time!

After a breast exam where everything felt normal, and a mammogram ( just to be safe I expect due to my mother's BC history ) I then got called back in for a more detailed mammogram and a scan which confirmed a suspicious looking small mass. I've allowed myself to do a small amount of "research" so I know a bit more about it, but keeping to reputable sources and not obsessing with it ( difficult to resist but it's for my own good!) 

It's common for women to get answers on their actual appointment day, not everyone needs a biopsy.

I can't promise you won't ever get another health scare so yes, speak to your GP or some areas allow you to self-refer online and go from there and you can take control of your anxiety and life will feel so much better.

For immediate help there are Apps too for anxiety but my phone is full of dog photos so I've never had to memory to download any of them :laugh:

Have a think of any questions you want to ask the doctor tomorrow. They will ask you questions too, medical history etc so write it all down if you think you might get flustered. I forgot to mention a few things in my appointment but then I have a long list of ailments :neutral:

I'll check back tomorrow to see how you got on xx

Hi Mumoftwo,

You're very welcome.

It's tried and tested advice here ( the world's biggest worrier ) and I'm doing OK 

Friday is only one whole day away, technically speaking.:happy:

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you an update on my appointment this evening.

I have inflamed pores which is causing the bumps under my skin and for peace of mind, I had an ultrasound on my breast and armpit and it was all clear as I was worried about the breast pain which he said can be unexplained and no cure for it. He was extremely helpful and gave me lots of leaflets. 
 

I would love to hear how you all get on with your appointments and results. I hope and pray it's positive. A girl I know had a breast lump removed not so long ago which turned out to be a benign cyst (I just found out) so just wanted to tell you that.

Sending you lots of positivity and hugs

Hi Lovely,

Oh that's good to hear at least you know what it is and also they've had a good look round via the ultrasound so no nasty surprises either.

I'm glad the doctor was helpful and gave you some info to take home.

Hope the inflammation and pain goes away very soon and now you can enjoy the long weekend without all that worry on your mind.

Don't forget to reach out to get some help for the anxiety, even though it's probably dipped righ tdown now :happy:

Thank you for the positive wishes, I will come back and let you know how I get on ( 22nd is my results day ) x

Hi jmh88, 

I was in the exact same position I'm 38 and 2 weeks ago found a lump in the outer quadrant of my left breast that was firm and moved but wasn't smooth it didn't hurt Untill I had prodded and poked it that much it became swollen and had dull aches in the breast I also had swelling under the same arm and in the tail of Spence area. I had my breast clinic appointment last Friday and mine turned out to be fat narcosis which is breast tissue that's been damaged and turned into scar tissue they scanned my whole breast and under my arm and found nothing concerning they actually showed me the serve brusing on my scan I had caused myself by poking it repeatedly. I have just had my copy letter from the breast clinic today which explains it all to me and clearly states no suspicious mass or nodule found I think I can now start to let the worry go there is a lot of postive outcomes and just wanted to tell you mine to bring some positivity to you x 

Hi,

So chuffed for you!!! You must be relieved! It's a wonderful news!!!

It gives me a bit of hope, hopefully my appointment of today will have a similar outcome. I will keep you updated!

Enjoy your Easter weekend worries free

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to give you some updates, hopefully it will help others put their mind at rest.

I just had an ultrasound of both breast and axillary, no tumor present and I just have reactive lymph nodes not sure why but no presence of malignancy detected.

I feel so relieved, its like I was given another chance in life.

I do pray that for some of you who are still expecting a result, you will have a positive outcome.
