Morning all 

Same as you all went to see doctor on Friday had letter today for breat clinic week today 

Is ut normal for appointment to come so fast 

I found one lump in right upper side of breast but during doctor exam found a further 2 in arm pit can not get it off my brain and had a melt down friday night 

Hey Missty,

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you’re having a tough time with worry.

like others have said, it’s all very normal to receive your referral very quickly. I received a referral review letter in the post the day after my doctors appointment, but then it took a few weeks to get my appointment (due to the waitlist in my area and recent strikes) whereas others received their appointments much quicker than me. 

I’m pleased you’ve managed to get an appointment so soon, but please don’t read anything into this. 

it’s incredibly hard to focus on anything else when you’re so anxious, but honestly, having a good cry and getting those emotions out are so important. I hope you have a good support network around you - do try and keep yourself busy if you can. Watch a few episodes of something to take your mind off things or take yourself out for a lovely walk somewhere pretty and soak up nature. 

Let us know how you get on, we are all here to chat anytime xx

Thank you Missty,

MRI on Monday. They wanted to do it tomorrow but it’s at a different hospital and I wouldn’t have got from the results to the MRI in time. 
I feel so much worse about tomorrow and the results now. There was just that little bit of positivity that was keeping me going, and now that’s all gone x

Hi everyone,

just got back from my ultrasound appointment. They think it’s just fatty tissue, but where I’ve been prodding around obsessively, I’ve bruised myself quite badly which showed trauma on the US, so it was preventing the lump in question showing through properly.

They did say that they didn’t think it was anything sinister and that cancer would have shown through despite bruising. They said it was fine and not to worry, but can’t help but feel I’d be more reassured if the lump was visible & confirmed as a lipoma. 

oh well, a big lesson to anyone awaiting an appointment - do not obsessively poke/prod around your breast tissue as it can cause damage and will take some time to heal.

my thoughts are with you all awaiting your appointments and those dealing with unwanted news. Always here to chat. Xx  

Hi GoonerGirl,

I am sending you so much love ahead of your MRI tomorrow.

What time is your results tomorrow 

Don't lose hope yet it maybe just looking to see if it's a fluid filled cyst (dr google again that's my life at the minute) 

It's a blessing you have results tomorrow and they haven't put it off till see the mri imaging.

That's good news though!

Yes definitely, thank you for all your support everyone xx

That's brilliant news!! 

And thank you I'm like you constantly poking and prodding at my boob at tge minute so will try to stop easier said than done I think 

So happy you got the great news 

Thank you so much

yes definitely try and stop yourself before you bruise the area if you can, my radiologist gave me a bit of a telling off. Please keep us updated on your journey 

xx 

Thank you 

My appointment is 8.30 Monday morning and letter says will be there 3-6 hours so looking like it's the one stop and everything gets done in one day (fingers crossed) x

Results at 10am. My husband is going with me. He’s not really being supportive in that he’s completely ignoring me crying etc, but I think he just doesn’t know what to say. He suffers from health anxiety, which may well be why he’s being like he is. I will need a lot of support going ahead xx

I'm sorry to hear that. My husband told me that he doesn't like to mention it cause he doesn't want to remind me... maybe he's doing the same?

That might be all it is xx

Some carnt take on the news but him crying obviously shows how much he loves you and is scared 

Will be thinking of you ahead of results. Your hubby may not know how to deal with what’s going on and must hate seeing you in such distress and worry. He might be blocking it all out. But you do need some support during this time. Maybe you could ask him for a cuddle? Or perhaps you could sit down over a cup of tea or coffee and just ask what’s going through his mind and explain how you’re feeling. Sending lots of love. Xx

My husband was withdrawn at first and not really saying a lot. Then he said to me that he is going to be strong for me and I said I don’t need you to be strong I need you to be normal. It’s crap and worrying I need someone to go through this with. I cried and so did he whilst hugging each other. Think it was what we both needed we had held it together all day for the kids so this happened whilst we were in bed. Hope you get lots of support as you need it xx
