Yes I agree with Jolamine. It's the waiting and not knowing which is worse. I took the biopsy result better than I expected and just wanted to get on with the other tests and get a plan in place. Do let us know how you get on on Thursday. 

Jolamine thank you for sharing your positive story. That's what I needed to hear as I prepare for my op tomorrow. I hope I am as lucky as you and get to see my girls' milestones too! I keep telling myself you've already had the worst news all the rest will  be better and so far it's bee  true. My liver MRI just showed cysts and there were no genetic abnormalities in my blood results so fingers crossed.  

Hi RedRuth,

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that all goes well. It is good that you have caught this early and that you have no genetic abnormalities. I had cysts on my liver too, but have continued to monitor them over the years and there has been no change.

You are so right about the power of positive thinking. It is not always easy to remain positive in such circumstances, but it'll make all the difference to your recovery. You'll also find that it helps to surround yourself with positive people. There is no room for negativity in these situations.

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

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi I wanted to message to say I am going through this and waiting for results too. If you ever need to talk just drop me a message xx 

Thank you. How are you coping? Im exhausted today but i think its mental stress. I get my results tomorrow. X

Today not so well, been tearful and just full of anxiety. I have been so tired since Monday, I could just drop off to sleep. You will get some answers tomorrow, though I know you will be so anxious about what they say. The news could still be positive, hold on to that hope xxx 

I feel exact same as you just described. I just had a nap with my 2 year old.. anxiety can make you feel that way. Do you have a lump too? Its nice to chat to someone. I have people around me for support but i feel a bit lonely too xx

Yes I do in my left boob. I don’t know much about it as didn’t ask but they did an ultrasound and said it’s solid so I had a biopsy Monday. I have an appointment the week after next to get results. It’s lovely you have support around you, I do too however no one really understands as they are not going through it in the same way xxx

Did you get your ultrasound report back? Mine says its 2cm with a subtle ridge nodularity.. im trying to be positive just with how its described! I have even obsessed over googling subtle used in medical terms. Its the wait isnt it.. i want tomorrow over with but also dreading it at the same time. I just want to go in and i want positvity with whats going to happen etc and get rid of it. I would not wish this on my worse enemy. We have to get through it for our daughters. My 2 year old sets me off all time.. saying she loves me etc. Its so hard. X

I have tried so hard to stay away from google, but yours sounds very small which surely is a good thing? Mine looked big and was sort of coming from behind my nipple. To touch it I could feel it just above my nipple and slightly to the side. 

I haven’t had a report yet although it may be a good thing as I’d be googling it. I went private for mine, and previous to this I was at the breast clinic in May due to pain in my other breast. They didn’t see anything on the scans but I never really felt reassured. 

My daughter is 16 and understands everything, we are best friends and she is so scared, it breaks my heart to see her get upset. I can understand why you are getting upset too,especially when our minds travel to dark places xxx
