Hope all goes well at your scan. The fact that the doctors aren't worried so far is a good sign. I know how difficult the wait is, I'm trying to take each day as it comes and keep busy. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. I've been going out of my mind and must stop googling. I can't even feel the lump now and think I'm paranoid. The consultant I'm hoping is right in his thinking that its just breast tissue that my rib is pushing out. Do you have a scan coming up soon moo41?

I hhope too all goes well for yours. I think I am going to wait until my NHS appointment on 11th at the one stop clinic otherwise it will be an ultrasound on Wednesday, review Thursday and if anything is seen will need to go back the following week. I don't think this os good for me mentally and be better all in one day to be scanned/possible further testing so I don't have time to think about it inbetween! 

Thank you so much for yoir reply Jolamine. I think I'm getting myself into a state but until the scan I'm guessing we all feel like this amd that's the reason we come here knowing others have been through the terrifying wait for results. 

I hope you are well, it's so lovely to have this page and lovely people like you all to talk too. Xx

Yes it does sound like you might be best to wait until 11th then. You could always call up and ask to be notified if there are any cancellations beforehand - explain your anxiety, they are usually very understanding. Although, having said that, if there's nothing to worry about then they should be able to tell you that from the US so you might be best to go Wednesday. I don't think there's a right answer really, there's always a wait with these things and only people going, or who have been, through it will understand how it feels.

I'm not waiting for a scan but for results of an excision. First went to the one stop breast clinic on 25th July, had the excision on Tuesday just gone and have to wait until 5th Sept for the results. The waiting is hell! 

I'm sending over lots of positivity for your results Moo41 and crossing everything for your results to be all fine. Its super hard the wait being in limbo. I'm my own worst enemy to be honest and nerd to accept what will be will be. 

I hope you don't have to wait too much longer, we are strongand got this together!    

Thanks Cath, hear to chat if you need to. let's keep each other updated.

Next week is busy with work and my two kids going back to school so hopefully it will go quickly! 

Have you got some things you can plan to fill your time? 

Hi Cath,

The worst thing you can do at the moment is to consult "Dr Google". It always throws up the worst case scenario and fortunately, this seldom turns out to be the case. I hope that all goes well on 11th. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you so much I will do! Hope everyone on here stays well and sending hugs for anyone going through the long waits x

So just to update everyone or anyone wanting some reassurance which I'm hoping I have. 

It's the 11th September today and had my ultrasound and biopsy. Breast nurse said she felt the hard 8mm lump and sent me for the ultrasound. Ultrasound showed the lump had smooth edges but still the biopsy was done. It didn't really hurt just a little sting more than anything. The nurses were so lovely. 

After the biopsy the nurse was lovely called me back in to view the images. She said it looks okay but has to be put through the testing as they all do when they aren't sure. My first ultrasound I had two weeks ago showed slight jagged edge but this was a week before my period and the nurse said wasn't as clear as today now my breast are post period and softer!  Obviously the biopsy results will say what it is and the nurse did say it's either very early if anything but looks like breast changes and not too concerning. Of course we all think the absolute worse in these circumstances and I've got  to wait until a week Wednesday for the results, I'm hoping what they have told me today is accurate and I've got nothing to worry too much about. 

I just wanted to reach out in the meantime to say that even these hard lumps aren't always something to panic about from what I've been told today. Dr Google has lots of negative things to say about harder lumps but can only cause worry. 

Praying for the all clear next week, amd wishing anyone reading this lots of luck who is worried. Xx
