Hi, I just had my referral appointment yesterday. I noticed a lump, and the same as you I had puckering in my breast when raising my arms. I have to say my hospital appointment yesterday found a solid lump on both my ultrasound and mammogram (I’m only 38) and they then done biopsies, it wasn’t great news but have to wait 2 weeks for the biopsy result before they can confirm. Please don’t let this scare you because there can be so many other things that could cause it, but I totally know how you feel in waiting, it’s torture.

please let us know how you get in your appointment and I am crossing my fingers your result is better than mine. Sending best wishes x

Hi Lebell84,

I just wanted to wish you best wishes for whatever lies ahead for you. I hope your wait for results isn’t too long xx

Likewise- it makes such a difference, doesn’t it? I don’t want to keep going on about it to my husband, and I can’t expect him to understand how I’m feeling. I stumbled across this forum when I was randomly googling in a panic, and I’m really glad I did! I’m grateful for everyone here who has responded to me in any way, and I hope I’m able to be supportive to others in the same way xx

Sounds like you've been well looked after today which must have made you feel so much more at ease. I really hope the wait for you and lebell isn't too long and you both get the best news. Xx

mon my first appointment I was told it looked suspicious but they couldn’t be sure and to bring someone with me to my results in 7 days I used a private clinic . 
but I never felt any lump only a heaviness I still never felt any lump when I had my liumpecony when they drew arrows to it , but mine was very small very early stages lucky I went , I only went as my best friend was diagnosed and I felt paranoid, I thsnk the lord everyday of how lucky I was to find it so early xx 

Yes-they were all lovely. Fingers crossed for us all now xx

I’m hoping that if it does prove to be BC, I’ve caught it early like you xx

Let’s hope it’s not and no amount of worry will change it , but one thing I will say is that for me it wasn’t all that bad I worked right through I never let it get me for one minute I stood up to it and flew through it , my mind was positive and still is and I’m 13 months on xx 

HI GoonerGirl,

The doctor is right. Treatments have made great advances in the past few years. I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer. When I was first diagnosed, I expected the same awful journey. As it turned out, I have had 2 bouts of cancer since we lost mum and there was just no comparison at all between the diagnosis, treatment and after care that we both had. I am still her 14 years after diagnosis. I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. Here's hoping that all turns out well for you and for Lebell.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hey Lebell. How are you feeling? Have you had any news on your biopsy results yet xx

How are you feeling today GoonerGirl? Xx

Hi Bobbins,

how are you today? 

not yet, I rang in Tuesday and she said my name was on the list to be discussed at the meeting but that my results weren’t back so they wouldn’t be discussing me that day. The breast care nurse rang me Tuesday afternoon and said she has put me down to go in on Friday afternoon, however that’s only providing my results are back in time, she said she will call me by 12 on Friday if they are not back, and if I don’t hear anything to go in for 2 to get my results. So I’m crossing my fingers they are back but the consultant strikes are stressing me just incase the meeting gets cancelled xxx

Ahhh, I really hope they are back in time. Is it the 29th you go? Sounds like they'll have them back in time for that, though? I've all my fingers and toes crossed but if nothing else at least you'll have your answers and a plan. Sending you lots of love and hugs x

I really hope so it will be a week and half since they were done so I really hope so. The nurse was lovely though and told me not to worry and that I was on her radar and she wouldn’t forget about me, she also said she will be present at my appointment (not sure what that means or if that’s normal:/ xx

Lebel 

the breast nurses are always in appointments for support good news or bad so try not to worry if she said she’s going to be there it don’t mean bad news it’s just support xxx 

my breast nurse was my best friend throughout my journey would never have coped without her xx 

Thanks laraj that’s good to know, really appreciate it. Crossing my fingers the consultants aren’t on strike and have the meeting on Friday xx

I’m hearing of these strikes a lot this week it’s enough to worry about these appointments without the stress of the strikes , let’s hope this don’t happen lovely and all goes ahead for you xx
