good you are getting refered , I had BC last year 

unfortunately no one can say until you get the tests done as you said sometimes things that look serious turn out good and vice Verda fact is only 2 in 10 lumps turn out bad news 

I never felt any lump and still had a diagnosis it’s crazy 

you have done the right thing 

Good luck 

So sorry to hear you've had bc, did yours show up on a mammogram if you had no lump?

Ros 

he’s mine did show up on mamogram xx 

hoe are you feeling ? Have you had an appointment yet ? X 

Trying to not to panic, trying to keep my mind off things, I just want to retreat into my bed and stay there, but I have 2 daughters and I don't want them to know anythings wrong. No not had an appointment yet. I'm going on holiday a week on Monday I'm really hoping I get seen before then! 

That must have been such a shock having it found through a mammogram, but atleast it was caught early. Timing is everything! How are you now? What treatment did you have? If you don't mind me asking

Rose of course I don’t mind you asking 

I had lunpectomy first then 2 nd operation full node removal in left arm 30 nodes  then radiography and now take tanoxifen 

to be honest it was no where as bad as it sounds looks it all went smooth I feel amazing nor 1 year on felt ok right through the fear is worse than the actual diagnosis xx Iove Lara xxx

My cousin was diagnosed just over a year ago. She had felt some lumps and left it 6 months before seeing a gp! It had spread into her lymph nodes so she had chemo and radiotherapy, then a mastectomy and is now on those drugs you mentioned plus some other drugs for 10 years I think. Do you have any problems now? I know my cousins arm swells up from where the nodes were removed bless her. And she has awful side effects from the drugs she's on, she thought about stopping taking them, but got told if she did then there's nothing else they can do for her. Cant believe she left it so long, thats why when I felt my lump I went to see my gp the next day. But also since she had her diagnosis I check quite recently and this lump just seemed to pop up overnight which is so scary! 

Ros 

my friend was diagnosed just before me a few months so that’s why I kept checking never thought I’d be in same boat .

yes my arm swells on times and the tablets are ok but do occasionally get effects but on the whole not to bad really xx 

how is your cousin now ? Love Lara xx

y diagnosis was July 22 

My cousin was diagnosed around the same time as you then! Shes feeling really *** bless her but throughout it all she's never phoned in sick at work she's just powered through, even whilst having radiotherapy! My auntie is really worried about her though because apparently she doesn't look like she's taking care of herself, she says she looks scruffy and like she's given up on herself. My cousin hates how her hairs grown back as its short and curly but I think it suits her! Did you lose your hair too? She tried the cold cap but it didn't work

Ros 

bless her my friend to lost her hair and it’s short and curly she go hates it .

I didn’t have chemo mine was her2 negative I had the oncotyoe DX test which came back no chemo required it would have done more harm than good in my case not everyone had to have chemo it friends on which type xx

i hope you have managed to eat something lovely and that you safe feeling a bit better have they called with a cats for you get ? Xx 

Glad you didn't have to go through all the chemo. I don't know exactly what type of cancer my cousins is but I know it was caused by estrogen or fed by it, so she's also on meds that put her into menopause, I think they could be the ones that make her feel *** but not sure. 

Yes I had a letter by email saying I have an appointment for next Friday! So glad its before I go away on the 7th for 10 days but also that's just over a week since refferal. Glad I'm not waiting the full 2 weeks but also a bit worried as why it's so quick. Maybe the gp wrote something different down when I left the room? Crazy where your mind takes you in these situations

Yes mine was oestrogen fed but it’s her2 positive which is faster growing and mostly needs chemo and mine was her2 negative slower growing the tablets I take are probably the same .

that’s amazing you got the appointment try not to worry that’s about normal wait time , hopefully after the check you can go away free and relax lovely xx 

I got my appointment a week to the day I saw my GP, the same timescale as for 2 previous referrals to the breast clinic which turned out to be nothing. Not so confident this time though. It will be great for you to go off on holiday after your appointment hopefully with positive news so you can really enjoy yourself.
