I didnt book it as ive had my appoitment come through but not till the 26th November its still a long wait 20 days it would of taken from the referal. The private scan was a lot of money which i was going to do for the consultant and the ultrasound but then if a biopsy is needed it was £750 just for 1 single biopsy :( 

Hi N92,

It certainly mounts up very quickly, when the different tests are included. You also have the problem of having another wait to get back into the NHS system, if you need any further treatment. Now that you have your NHS appointment, you could phone again and say that you are willing to take a cancellation, if any come up. In the meantime, you can start a countdown to your appointment at last.

Kind regards,

It does :( i was thinking of going upto A&E but im not sure if they would do anything?

Hi N92,

I very much doubt that A & E would be willing to do anything for you, especially if they knew that you already had an appointment.

Kind regards,

Good luck with your scan ,let us know how you get on xx

I did think that to :( i have my appoitment now at the breast clinic on monday i rang and they was able to give me a cancelation app thank god. Few more days till i no if my worse fear is about to happen. I still havnt managed to eat either for over a week now. 

Hi N92, I messaged you earlier in the week as I saw we had similar symptoms. I just wanted you to know I had my appointment this morning and all is fine. Like you, I have worried myself sick for 10 days since my referral and I can’t tell you the relief. Please try not to worry, I was convinced something was wrong but there isn’t. I know not every case is the same but I really hope I can reassure you slightly x

Was this at the Gp? Or at the breast clinic? x 

Glad it was all okay though! You can stop worrying now :) xx

did they mention what it could be at all? x 

Did your nipple/areola go a bit weird though? Mine has really changed gone puffy, and i can feel a tugging feeling in it every time i move which is radiating to my armpit. Did they take any biopsy’s for u? X

So this was at the breast clinic. I had examination she said there was a thickening in the area the GP mentioned so because of that I had an ultrasound, but she said she wasn’t worried and thinks it’s hormonal and breast pain can be a number of reasons not usually linked to cancer. Ultrasound was straight after and I was told it was clear xx

It hasn’t no. But I do feel a pulling when laying at night, burning sensation that goes upto armpit. They didn’t do a biopsy. But even if they do when you go that doesn’t mean anything is definitely wrong. She said the lump that was felt by my gp is a thicker tissue than the other breast and the tenderness is likely hormonal x

My Nipple has gone quite flat and almost got smaller in size. My actual breast though seems to of grown. I don’t feel any tugging though. I do have the burning sensation that starts sort of underneath the breast and moves up into arm pit. I don’t think there is any lumps, it definitely feels different to the other side but no actual lumps that I can feel x 

Thats brilliant. Im So glad all is ok for you :)

My areola and nipple has gone different and it looks like theres an indent in my areola to at the top now. It doesnt sound good with mine tbh, it does seem like something bad is going on. I pray it isnt but the heaviness and the pulling sensation seems to be getting much worse. My apoit has now been changed to monday thank god. Even though i need this apoit im scared what the outcome is going to be. 

Hi Cmck11,

I am delighted to hear that you got the all clear, despite your worries. That must be a fantastic relief for you.

On a dull and dreary day here, that has really made my day!

Kind regards,

Hope u are ok Jolamine xx

Hi N92,

I'm not too bad thank you. I was back at the breast clinic on Tuesday, to investigate why I am fitting and collapsing, quite frequently and am now waiting for a CT scan. They've said that I should get one in about 2 weeks, so, like everyone else here, I am patiently waiting and hoping that there's a non- cancer related reason for them.

How are you coping with your wait, now that you have a date?

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
