Hi,

Apologies I went quiet on here! Life has been pretty hectic the past couple weeks.

So, after a doctor gave me a quick examination, he concluded that he believes have gynocamastea, which I believe is generally caused by hormonal change.

He didn’t completely rule out breast cancer though. I’ve been sent for blood tests and an ultrasound to determine what is going on.

Although I was relieved to here it’s probably not breast cancer, he did explain it could be testicular cancer or something wrong with a gland somewhere.

So I’m still very much in the dark and am awaiting more testing.

Still have a lump that doesn’t seem to be shrinking or hurting any less.

I hate not knowing.

I hope you have found sleeping easier and have a date for your appointment 

Hi, glad to hear that they don’t believe it to be too serious and that you are having further tests to be sure. 

I had my appointment last Wednesday, unfortunately they told me they think my lump is “very suspicious” and after finding the lump in an ultrasound and mammogram they have taken biopsies so they can confirm and prepare a treatment plan. 

even though I still don’t know 100% I have to wait 2 weeks for my results so I’m just as anxious as I was before, if not more so, they also said consultants are on strike so I don’t when it will be, I also go on holiday on 29th so really hope I have some answers before then.

I hope your appointments come through soon.

Hi Oggyjay,

I'm glad to hear that it doesn't appear to be breast cancer, but sorry to hear that you are awaiting further tests for testicular cancer. Not knowing anything is the worst part of this journey by far. I hope that you get your tests soon and that nothing untoward is found.

Please let us know how you get on and remember, that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine
