Hello,

           several years back a colonoscopy on christmas eve confirmed a tumour in my bowel, subsequently confirmed as cancerous on new years day which later on  had spread to the liver.

At the time the worst christmas ever, but looking back the diagnosis was probably the best christmas gift l have ever received since it saved me in the nick of time and gave me a future that l have fully embraced since then.

Sometimes the best things can come from the worst moments and l hope that everyone going through this emerges with a positive outcome,

Hi

it really is the worst time of year to wait for results.

I had Covid at the beginning of Dec so couldn't go for my endoscopy for ongoing stomach pain and gas, drs think it's diverticulitis but yesterday I had a biopsy on my breast so I'm just hoping the 2 things are a huge coincidence and trying and failing not to worry.

new endoscopy booked for 6th Jan and biopsy results prob same week ️

Hoping for Christmas miracles for everyone

Hi Nicola

good luck for your appointment today, please let us know how you get on.

Hi Claire & All, 

I have just left my appointment. The staff were wonderful on the breast unit. I had a mammogram and ultrasound and it's fatty glandular tissue mixed with changes due to peri menopause. No need for biopsy. 

I hope for you all that you have appointments like mine or at least have the all clear results from biopsies. Sending you all so much love, strength and keeping everything crossed for you.

Fantastic news Nicola! You must be over the moon, especially to have that news in time for Christmas! 
I hope for the same as our symptoms do sound very similar, I have recieved my appointment at the breast clinic for the 5th Jan, I was due to start a new job this day! Typical! I'm sure they will be understanding as health comes first. 
all the best to you and merry Christmas xx 

Hi, yes me too

I have a swelling above my collarbone and was seen within days by a consultan had camera etc and have a biopsy and scan next week so all very quick which is good, but a little scary..my sister died at my same age 4 years ago of misdiagnosed cervical cancer, so this really has hit home. X

Leni56 you will not hear anything back before Christmas, results always seem to take their time so go for the appointment then bury your head and enjoy your Christmas with your family. We can't change anything. I have just had a hysteroscopy they took some tissue but could not get through the cervix due to too much tissue (no idea why) so they are now going to book me in to be done under anaesthetic instead, when I don't know. The worse bit was being told that when I was there in 2018 having the same thing done they should have provided me my results and kept an eye on me every 6 months but I seem to have slipped through the net. It is hard not be scared but it is true to say we don't know what we areto worry about yet so let's wait until we know before we start. Wishing you a lovely Christmas xx

Just reaching out, wishing everyone in the thread best wishes.

Stay strong people. I am trying me best, but convinced something is wrong.
