Hi Emma,

Thank you for letting us know about your breast clinic experience. I am absolutely delighted to hear this news and, I'm sure that it will be a great help to some people who are waiting to be seen. Sadly, Google is nobody's friend, when we're looking for answers of this kind. However, it is a fact that only 2 people, out of every 10 who attend the breast clinic, will get a cancer diagnosis.

I sincerely hope that you continue to keep well and cancer free.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Emma I’m so happy xxx fantastic news xxxx 

That’s amazing news! I am in your situation indentation I am waiting gp referred me Monday my clinic date is a week today in Thursday! 
I am petrified and not sleeping panicking about my children. 
I haven’t lost weight so the indentation is a huge worry to me but your post is reassuring that you can come out with the all clear! Just feel sick with anxiety!

Hi Petals,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am sorry to hear that you are in this unenviable situation too. This is always a worrying wait, but it is worth reminding yourself that only 2 people, out of every 10 who attend the breast clinic, will get a cancer diagnosis. Here's hoping that you'll be one of the lucky ones too.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine thank you so so much for your reply…. The not sleeping and feeling constantly sick is awful with anxiety. another 6 days to wait! x

 Hi Petals12  I’m sorry to hear you are in the same situation as I was. The stress and anxiety is unbelievable while you’re waiting. I felt just like you. I spent a couple of days just bursting into tears randomly on and off and couldn’t switch my mind to anything other than what Google had said. I even broke down in the hospital before the Doctor started his examination. I think initially he thought I was upset about being examined until I asked while sobbing if an indent always means cancer. He said no and various changes in the body, especially as you get older, can cause things like that as well including hormone changes and weight loss or gain. I’m in my mid 40’s.

He did a really thorough examination of both my boobs and said he couldn’t feel anything at all that showed any cause to be concerned and that he wanted to do a mammogram and ultrasound to be doubly sure but felt confident it’d be clear. They did the mammogram on both and the ultrasound just on the one with the indent on. Instead of going to wait for the mammogram feeling reassured I was convinced it was going to show something bad and if it didn’t it would come up on the ultrasound instead.

The good thing about how the breast clinic works is that within just over an hour I’d had all the tests done and was told there was nothing they could find at all. Honestly to say I was relieved is a massive understatement.

I used to think I wasn’t normal because of my health anxiety but when I found this website I realised most people feel exactly the same to start with. I can’t really offer you any advice to deal with the wait because I was just like you but an indent doesn’t have to mean cancer. You are definitely doing right getting it checked out but hopefully next week you will be leaving your appointment with the all clear.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope it’s really good news. Please let us know how you get on.

Emma I am so so grateful to you for your post! I ll absolutely keep you posted! We were due to go look at a puppy tomorrow but have had to lie to children to say breader can’t have us!  If it is cancer we can’t have a new puppy just wouldn’t be right or fair to puppy but oh my word the tears from the children! 
feel sad all the time, spending nights awake and crying silently trying not to wake hubby and scared to enjoy a glass of wine in case I make the cancer I don’t know I have yet, worse! 
but this forum is fabulous and I am so grateful thank you! 

Nettietoo thank you so much for your message I do hope you get your results soon! And I am hoping you get an all clear one x let us know how you get on x
