Hello Ladies 

I only spoke to the GP because I was suffering bad anxiety and then asked if my biopsy results had come back and she said yes and read it out to me.  I can't spell it Firbrodema? Is that righr benigh but I will still get a letter and phone call.

Sending hugs

Hi Paige.

Yeah I don't know about you, but im actually finding the waiting a lot more manageable now. I think I've reached a point where I've grown used to waiting. It feels like have googled all the different variations of my symptoms and read so many website and journal articles that it doesn't feel like there's anything left (my Google searches are now coming up with the same links to stuff that I've already read ). Which has kind of helped in as much that it feels like I've exhausted all the energy I did have to allocate to worrying, that I've none left and now just neutrally waiting for the 10th to come round.
 

I'm no longer waiting for a letter or for an appointment so it's easier to try and chill out. The rational voice of reason is stronger than the niggle of doubt was before.

Hope you're doing ok x

That's great news Bear!! Super pleased for you, that must have claimed your anxiety right down now I hope? ️

Mine is also likely to be fibroadenoma too! (And if not a papilloma). We shall have to wait and see! X

Yeah I agree with you the waiting is a lot more manageable now, I find it the hardest when trying to get to sleep as that's when my mind starts going over drive! X

Hi Soph,

How are you feeling now your appointment is getting closer?

Hi

MDT meetings are often held for patients whose care can involve more than one doctor, nurse or specialist (at least they are where I work). Sometimes they can involve cancer, but are also used for other conditions (maybe where patients see consultants, physio, specialist nurses all for same condition) as it lets the entire care team work together to make sure they get a good plan and know what everyone is doing.

They can sound scary when you hear about them, but think of it as an effective and collaborative way to make sure treatment plans are jointly developed and communicated and can reduce the too-ing, fro-ing and repetition that used to happen. Xx

Hi Paige,

Thank you for thinking of me. I actually feel really good funnily enough. It will be good to get it over with, but I'm feeling confident that it will be nothing serious.

 
Part of me is a bit nervous about potentially have to have surgery, as depending on what type of benign tumour it sometimes they advise to excise it, but then another part of me is worried that they won't advise to do anything, because it can still be quite painful sometimes and it's not going away. However if they advise to do nothing, I'll definitely still take that as a win. I can then just continue monitor and if it still hurts or the pain gets worse I'll get back in touch with my GP.

How are you feeling? Any updates yet? X

That's good that your feeling much more positive! Not long to go now for you at all! Yeah if they suggets to do nothing then at least you can just keep an eye on it and always speak to GP if bothering you

They are having their team meeting today where the secretary said they are discussing my results. So I'm going to call this afternoon for an update, altho I'm sure she won't be able to tell me anything but it's worth a go x

Hello

I just wanted to say I be thinking of you tomorrow. 

Good luck 

Sending lots of positive hugs
