Results day is finally here

So after two and a half months of stress and worry, today is the day I finally get some answers... after being referred to both the breast clinic and the sarcoma unit, both are giving me some answers today.

Due to the sarcoma unit being in London and my appointment early in the morning, I travelled up yesterday and am staying in some dodgy services hotel by myself, staring at the ceiling wondering what today will bring. I have the appointment first thing this morning which will give me my MRI results, and I'm already suspicious after receiving a letter telling me which consultant I will be under for the duration of my care. Then this afternoon, the breast clinic are giving me a telephone call after pushing my appointment forward by a week to give me my biopsy results of the lump.

I don't even know why I posted this, really. My friends and family couldn't come with me even though they wanted to, so I'm facing this alone and I just wanted someone to hear me, really. My parents are looking after my two little boys and all I can think about is how on earth can this happen to somebody who has two precious lives to care for... I know it seems like I've jumped the gun regarding the diagnosis but when you've felt as unwell as I have, fatigued and nauseous every day, it seems like the most obvious answer.

I hope everyone else is doing okay with their treatments and waiting for results. Good luck to you all xxx

    Good morning Laurarose85

    Didn't want to skip past your post with stopping to say hello, I usually have a bit of a search about on these chat forums for information and advice as find them the best source of support and information. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June this year and am halfway through chemo treatment. I have little boys too I'm 41. It's a right unfair ***. I am a fairly positive person  and just cracking on with it, chemo is manageable but it hasn't been the summer holidays I was imagining and it's tuned my life upside down.

    I'm so sorry to hear your laying awake on your own in a services hotel thinking about today. I hope your results apts come around quickly and run smoothly for you. Whatever the results are you start to move forward with a plan today, but sending lots of love and positive vibes for clear results for you. If you want to chat I'm here, message me if you want to .

    Best wishes 

    Gemma

    Just wanted to send you good wishes LauraRose85. You've given a lot of support to people here on the forum and I'm sorry you're having to face results alone today.  At least your parents are able to take care of your little boys so you haven't had to drag them into London too. The forum is here for you. Getting things out of your head, just having a rant, feeling supported. I really hope you get the best news possible today. And if not, there are others having to deal with things who will be here to help hold your hand. Love Rose xx

    Thanks for the support everyone. Well I've just been phoned by the hospital asking to see me face to face instead and to bring someone with me, so...

    Wish me strength to get through the next hour. And again, thank you for all your support, I will update later.

    Sending you strength, virtual hugs and love. If you're there on your own, maybe ask for permission to record things, and do ask for time to take a few minutes to compose yourself anytime during the appointment you feel it necessary. A friend of mine attending alone, immediately after being told of a cancer diagnosis asked for a minute or two to take things in, then sat there breathing quietly, so that what followed would better be heard. You may also wish to try a few meditations or similar before going in. Good luck! x
