I found a lump in my right breast last week. Ive been fast tracked for tests next week.
My worry is that I've had shoulder/back pain for months. I'm so so scared that it's a symptom that the cancer has spread. I can't sleep. I'm so scared.
I feel the same as you. I have a dimple and pain in breast and they send me for emergency ultrasound this Friday. Scared as hell and can't cope. I hope we both will be alright.
I understand that you are very worried but please hold onto the fact that the majority of lumps are found to be benign but it's important to get them checked out. While it is difficult to not worry it really does not help to do so. I have been recently diagnosed with BC and I too was very worried about pains and aches that I had in my body for awhile. I decided to try and not 'meet any troubles half way' and got busy distracting myself with exercise/walks/meeting friends. I also got some light sleeping tablets to take for a few nights to prevent total exhaustion. Once i got some decent sleep I was better able to deal with my situation. Try to be aware of your stressful/worried thoughts, notice them, and then try to throw them away because they are not doing you any good. When I felt 'panic' and 'fear' during those waiting for test results days I would take some deep breaths and tell myself that at that moment 'I am ok and all is good right now'. I am still doing that most days to keep myself grounded. Thankfully my cancer is very treatable, I have had surgery and I'm awaiting radiotherapy More importantly it had not spread elsewhere. Please be good to yourself and try to get some rest and relaxation. I hope you get the best kind of results and please let us know how you get on. We will be here to support you on whatever journey is ahead.
I have never been so scared. This pain has been in my shoulder for months. I'm scared it's spread. I have to wait until the 13th but I'm not sleeping. I was literally awake until 6am this morning crying. I know I shouldn't google but I can't help it.
Same here. It's exhausting. I google a lot and touch the area trying to find a lump so it hurts even more. My breast are really large and I cannot feel anything but this one just feels different.
I am so scared and lonely, I am going back to work tomorrow but can't cope. I don't know how I will manage next couple of days.
I found a lump in my breast last Wed. I went to docs on Thursday and nurse felt it also, so fast tracked and my appt is this Wed. Both breasts have always been extremely painful 2 weeks before I am due on, almost unbearable especially the left. The pain has been so intense though this last week I started prodding more than usual. I found a small lump near nipple in left breast. I don't sleep much anyway as peri menopausal, very worried, sick of googling.......can't think about anything else. X
Hi , just like you im 47 and I found a pea size lump on my breast just before Christmas, doctor red flagged it so I'm getting scan at breastclinic on Friday. Christmas with 3 kids has just been a blur, putting on a smile, when I'm crumbling inside..Husband has been so supportive, trying to be positive..but its so hard good luck for Wednesday x
on was in your positions in July , in November I finished radiotherapy I now take tamoxifen .
the early days were scary for me but once you have a plan and start to understand the treatment every day gets less scary I promise you all this . At my first appointment I was told it was suspicious a week later it was confirmed.
theough my diagnosis operations I kept busy kept working did not give in where I was doing my normal daily things I felt in control , I now live as of it never happened. breast cancer is highly treatable and breast nurses consultants oncologist are absolutely amazing you are in good hands .
please don't worrry a lot of lumps are benign hopefully yours are I wish all you ladies the best
