Hi everyone, I hope ok for me to join this thread, I'm part diagnosed as of yesterday and terrified. I felt a tender sensation in my breast a few months ago which only occurred when I was out running, then a few weeks later my left breast became firm on the left side, so I saw the nurse at the GP who said probably nothing but will do 2 week referral. 

I attended the one stop at the breast centre, mammogram, uss, 3 biopsies, then was told it looks sinister and likely cancer. I knew it as soon as I went back in as there was an extra nurse with a notebook. 

Now I have to wait until 8 Dec for biopsy results. Its a good job I no longer work at the hospital as I'd be checking the system for my results every 5 minutes 

I just feel numb and tearful. My husband said to tell my family but I just can't. I'm going to wait until after the 8th as no point them worrying for 2 weeks either x

So sorry Annie :( 

I took a lot from waiting for my appoitment from the lovely ladies on here to keep your self busy. I really hope you can get your results sooner.

Was it just tender you felt or did u feel any lumps/pain?x

Thank you, it was tender to touch and then the lump appeared a few weeks after, quite large, but the USS has picked up that one and a smaller one which wasn't able to be felt externally 

This is me to. But it was painful/burning that seems of gone now but everytime i move i feel like a tugging init and all my armpit chest is swollen to. They didnt ultra sound me as he said they felt “fine”. He said i had pulled a muscle in my rib which is why im swollen all around. Im booking another appoitment with my GP as it isnt sitting right with me. 

Hi Annie,

sorry to hear your also playing a waiting game and find yourself in this awful situation.

I had a very similar experience in that they basically told me at my referral appointment that it was very sinister and not good, they also explained I would get excellent care etc but they couldn’t tell me I had cancer until they had the biopsy results.

the wait was awful but it was no surprise when they told me I had cancer. It was a massive rollercoaster whilst waiting I kept wondering if I had just misunderstood them or was thinking too much into what they had said, I actually felt better once I new for certain.

i am crossing my fingers that everything will be fine for you, until they have the biopsy results there is always a chance they could be wrong.

thinking of you and we are always here if you need to vent. Lots of love x

Thank you for your kind reply x

Hi Annielouise

Sending you loads of love and I hope you get your results soon xxx

Thank you so much for all the well wishes xx It really means a lot and thank you for the support xx

I had the mammogram and Ultrasound and they aren't concerned. Where I have lost so much weight in a short time, my boob fat around the tissue has gone and left this with lumpy mass which is normal tissue. The puckering, which the GP told me WASN'T stretch marks, was (as I had thought) stretch marks and puckered due to that. I am to go back to the Dr about my weight and the bladder issues that I have had so I think it's back to the drawing board for me.

Thank you so much for the support. I am a little annoyed that the Dr told me it wasn't stretch marks, as I think that is what really set my mind into a tailspin but I guess we all make mistakes. 

Sending you all loads of love and thank you again. Hopefully I won't be moving over to the bladder forum! This has definitely made me more determined to go to the Dr with the health issues that I have been having. 

Thank you for being here xxx
