Hi Hlou,

A very warm welcomer to our forum.

I am so sorry to hear of your concerns. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer, a year apart from one another. Like you and Laraj, I was told at my first appointment that likely had cancer, but that the biopsy results would confirm this. Unfortunately, they were right, but it was stage 1 and hadn't spread. I had a lumpectomy first time around and a double mastectomy for the second bout. As Laraj said, it was all perfectly "doable" and I'm still leading a busy and fulfilling life some 14 years later.

I know that the temptation to consult "Dr Google" is great, but it won't apply to you or give you any answers. The only thing that it will do is to scare you even further. Have they said how long you may have to wait for your results? I hope that it's not too long.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi jolamine, so sorry to hear you have had it twice. So happy to hear your still living life to the full thats amazing. I know I havent been on Google in a couple of days trying to stop myself, I have an appointment to go back next week it doesn't say what tge appointment is for but my test were last week so I'm guessing that will be to get the results.

Hi Hlou,

I have indeed been very fortunate and I sincerely hope that this can continue. Your appointment next week will be to get the results of your biopsy. It doesn't sound as if you have anything to worry about, but one can never tell. Can you bring someone with you to the appointment? They usually advise us to do this, when going for results. If you have any questions, write them down and take them to your consultation. It's all too easy to forget something important, when you're relying on memory.

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

Kind regards,
