Hi Lucky,

I am so glad to hear that you have lived up to your name and that all went well for you. I'm sure that you're mightily relieved to have all that worry behind you now.

Only 2 people out of every 10, who attend the clinic receive a cancer diagnosis. I am so delighted that you were one of the 'lucky ones'.

Time for a celebration?

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you for your kind and reassuring reply. It's easy to let the worry take over the closer the appointment gets, especially after such a long wait! 
I will update on Saturday. 

Thanks again for your lovely response, it is kind of you to take the time to post on here xx

Hi Jolamine and Lucky

Hope you're both well.

Just an update further to my appointment this morning, as promised!
I saw the consultant who said that the lump was 'large and irregular'. She sent me for a scan which showed that it was 4.5cm, and then they biopsied it. They said it's probably a Fibroadenoma, but I have another face to face appointment booked for 9th May for results. They said they'll schedule an operation to remove it at that appointment. Bit more waiting, but at least it's getting sorted! :happy:
Hope you're having a great bank holiday weekend.

Hi Dottie,

Thank you for the update. I hope that your consultant is correct and that this is a fibroadenoma. It's good to hear that you don't have too long to wait for your results.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed until then. Here's hoping that you can enjoy the bank holiday a little better now that you have that appointment behind you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi i just thought i'd write for moral support. I'm in a similar situation, though i didn't have a lump i'm nearly 50 and went for a mammogram in a mobile hut, then got a letter that same week sending me to Kings hospital, where i had further mammograms and  2 x biopsies, I really wasn't expecting to have the biopsies, hense i was alone and then then had the 2 week wait, at the results consultation I was told that I needed a further biopsy as they'd found abnormal Aidep cells. So i'm now waiting for those results. I'm 50 this month, but have a 12 year old and an 8 year old. I'm petrified. I just never saw this coming, it's taken over my life for the past month. Just feel sick all the time. 

I hope you and I don't have anything sinister. 

I didn't have a particularly maternal mother, and have done my utmost to be an available hands on parent. Helicopter parent i think some would describe me as. They just can't loose me. Not yet.

Hi Dottie

Thank you for updating- I hope you are doing OK and trying not to worry too much . The 9th will come around soon and you will hopefully have some positive answers . Sending love ️ 

Hi Subedo

Ah that must have been such a shock and worry when going to a routine appointment   , I hope it's nothing sinister for you in the next appointment.  It's good they are being so through   when is your next appointment sending love ️ 

Hi there Subedo 

Sorry to read that you're in a similar position. The waiting for results is just awful and probably the hardest part of the whole process. I've tried really hard to keep busy and to focus on the positive statistics, to stop myself from worrying, but I completely understand what you are saying. Do you have a date for your next appointment?

Hopefully you will get some answers. In the meantime, sending love and always happy to message if you want to chat xx

Hi Subedo23

Sorry to crash your conversation.

I'm in the same boat as you, routine mammogram and then recalled for ultrasound and biopsy. Then told at the follow-up appointment I'd need a further biopsy and now I'm waiting for the results from that one. I did have a phone call on Friday with an appointment for Wednesday morning, so at least I'm nearly there. I hope your wait will be over soon too.

I was feeling quite optimistic on Friday as it's a telephone appointment and I'd decided that they probably wouldn't give bad news over the phone (although I'm not so sure about that now). When I spoke to one of the breast care nurses on the Thursday, she said that the unit is extremely busy right now and they're struggling to find slots for everyone who needs a follow-up. So now I'm a bit worried again as despite their being really busy, this is actually quite a speedy response. 

It's probably nothing, but there's been so much time to think about it! 

Anyway, I thought I'd write and wish you luck as I know how you feel, and also Dottie, good luck with your appointment too, I hope it's all good news for both of you.

Hugs

Thank you for your kind wishes, Cherry! Fingers crossed that you get a positive result on Wednesday. I'll be thinking of you!
