MJT1977 Oh my goodness I feel very much like you. I’m glad that we are not alone even though this waiting game and uncertainty is excruciating. Like you I have been looking for support online.

I hope that you get some results soon and that  all be well, as much as possible, I have my fingers crossed for both of us. 

I understand the  being the rock and having the feeling of loneliness  in all of this. I’m feeling very similar to you. The worry and the if’s and the maybes.
Feels to me easier to talk to someone who’s going through something similar. 

 I found a mass on my tummy on a Thursday about two weeks ago, thought it over until the following Monday, when I decided to call the gp for an emergency appointment.

I have scans next week and the next day I will see the consultant.
I’m also 46, born in 1977. My mind is going crazy with worry and my children are much older than yours, so I can only imagine the thoughts that your mind is going through. It’s a hard time and I can only wish and hope that we will all be ok. 

Best wishes xx 

I'm a 1977 baby too  I've got two older children like you (29 and 25, plus a grand child) and then my 15 and 7 year olds too...bit of a gap (and change in relationship haha).

Gosh, hope you're feeling OK. When are your scans? 

I had a letter from the hospital today, me and the hubby have never read anything so fast but it was only a summary of the appointment I went to on the 8th.. I'm hoping results won't be far behind now.

I've had ups and downs...its such an awful time. Xxx

Really hope you get your results very soon, the waiting is the worst bit. Have mri on Tuesday and seeing consultant again on Thursday. Hope to have skin biopsy results and find out if I'm HER2 positive or negative. If positive I'll need chemo before the surgery. I'm also going to dicuss whether I can opt for the mastectomy rather than lumpectomy. I have lumps in two areas and feel this would be better option, have to see what they say though. Just waiting to see when ct scan is, this is the one that worries me. I'm hoping treatment will be started by February, just want to get on with it. The sooner it starts, the sooner it finishes. Thinking of you and hope you get some answers soon. Xx

I have four girls, 29, 26, 25 and 17, no hubby, one grandbaby and another due next month. They are all taking it pretty well in my opinion.  

My scans are on Tuesday and on Wednesday I will see the consultant, so I will get all the info next week.

 
I have redone my will last week just in case as I had an old one and needed to be done anyways, and I have been prepping my headspace for the worst…this has been my copping mechanism, prep for the worst and be ready, if not then it will a welcomed result. I need to be in control of something! lol 

Yes the letters keep coming filled with information that I already know too. 

I’m sure that you are jumping at any letter that appears at your doorstep. You must be so nervous. Fingers crossed that comes soon!

We can’t fight the unknown. Must be so difficult to keep it all in until your results come through.

 
I have told work, family and everyone I could think of even though no results are yet available. I just felt life is too short and work would need to let me take personal calls and appointments etc, so I feel that I can have a long face somedays without the guilt.  

Hope you and family have a great Sunday!!  

Maybe I should tell people at work, might explain the snappiness. 

Hope you're head is doing OK? Not long to wait now. Will you keep in touch and let me know how you get on xx

Snappiness :)). Yes we are a little worried about what’s going on so it will definitely show to those around us but we have a good valid reason I think.

I’m doing ok but nervous, my tummy is in knots thinking of the what ifs, will soon be known.

How are you coping with your thoughts?

I will keep in touch and let you know what my news will be :).

Speak soon. 

Hi, just wondered if you have a date yet for your results. How are you doing? I'm going to see the consultant today, hopefully will get skin biopsy result and find out if I'm HER2 negative or positive. They can then decide if surgery will be first or chemo.Had mri on Tuesday and have ct scan this coming Monday. I'm hoping some sort of treatment will begin in February. Xx

Hi there, how have you been?

I had my scans and have seen my consultant and my results are that I have a cyst in my tummy. So it’s not cancer thankfully, 

It took me aback as I was ready for the worst and I completely forgot to ask important questions. There’s no need to operate for now but it will be kept an eye on and I have been given advice to follow. How about you, any news yet? Crossing my fingers for good results for you and family. 

Hi Pippin,

I have been thinking of you today and I hope that your skin biopsy didn't show up anything untoward.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you, have replied to you on my new post. Xx

Hi Pippin24

Finally got my results yesterday. I don't have a cancerous lump, I have a fibroadenoma. They said I don't need to go back or have it removed so have discharged me. 

How are you doing? Xx
