Scared and alone

Hi, 

y'day i attended the breast clinic for what my GP decribed as a precaution so i wasent overly worried. 

The consultant who examined me said that she couldn't feel anything in the boob i was referred for but had felt somthing in my right boob she wanted checked. 
i had a mamogram which was clear but the ultrasound did show a lump that the radiographer made it clear she was worried about. I got  3 biopsies taken and a marker inserted. 
 

i spoke to the consultant afterwards who says they are not sure what it is, the radiographer is concerned but there doesnt seem to be other factors so they are unsure at this point. She said its not in lymph nodes and the rest of the breast tissue is clear so isolated to this one lump which is 10mm in size. 

i will need to wait 2 weeks for results/next steps/ treatment plan, I feel completely blindsided and terrified and flip between real panic and floods of tears. i just feel scared and alone. I live on my own. I dont want to burden my parents or my sister as i know they would be equally be upset and scared. 

I dont know much about breast cancer/cancer and I dont want to start googling but i want to try and prepare myself for the likely outcome of cancer. 

Any advice or similar experiences woukd be greatly appreciated. 
 

thanks

  • Thank you so much for replying laraj.

    Im so sorry you didnt get the news you wanted. How are you feeling after getting the confirmed diagnosis? 

    My consultant said they review all biopsies every Friday at MCT meeting so because it was just taken y'day (wednesday) it wouldnt make this weeks meeting and would need to be carried over to next Friday ️

    Im trying to prepare myself for the worst as they instructed but it just doesnt feel real. Im getting waves of anxiety i just want to know the extent of what im dealing with but i know thats probably how everyone in ths situation feels. 

    thanks again for replying xx
