Sharing does help, doesn't it? Can't believe you went through all of that alone. That's tough.
Is a core biopsy the needle gun thing that sounds like a stapler? They only said biopsy and I didn't know there were different types.  I am again lucky in that it is in a place which doesn't get pressed on so I haven't had much pain afterwards.   
What are the markers for? Do they hurt?
I am carrying on regardless, but that brings difficulty. I am planning things for work and an event, without knowing whether I will be able to do them or not. I can't or don't want to explain why I am absent on some things or why I didn't do something.If I can't do them, I also don't want them to know why exactly as it feels very personal and I don't want to be the subject of idle gossipy chat.  Is that odd? Maybe I will change my mind when I know more.

Found I'm on a waiting list for surgery booked because the consultation.  Presume it's to get you on it should you need it but it's put the wind up me.  

to be booked on and not need it is better than needing it and not being booked on? Sounds like they’re being thorough and cautious which will hopefully bring some reassurance to you when you get over the shock of it. 
it really is a constant rollercoaster of emotions but at some spell you”ll be able to put the brakes on//get off off it (and me too). 
I think we can just cross each hurdle as it arises. Sending strength x

If anyone else has any experience and thoughts please jump on this thread, feel like I’m hogging it (don’t meant to, just too many similarities x

Sorry i had a typo. Should have been before the consultation not because.  

I thought it was probably in case but like you said it's a roller coaster. 

Lots of similarities probably we're around the same stage of investigation. And i don't think you're hogging it.  

Thanks for understanding.  Just a i start to feel more settled,  my thoughts can jump.  

Outr thoughts can certainly be a help and a hindrance. Totally understand it. Just accept what you know in the here and now and cross each hurdle as it comes x

Got my appointment tomorrow with the results.  I am so anxious. I feel shaky and sick. Trying to stay in the here and now.

Have you had any success with bringing your appointment forward?

I’m pleased you’ve only got one more day to know  the plan moving forward . Think of how many days you’ve been waiting so you can definitely get through the next 24hrs  

I’m still waiting to hear about the MRI  and an appointment for the clinic had been made for me but was permanently deleted on the app. When I spoke to them they said it was made in error as he doesn’t hold his clinic that day. The consultant who did my mamagram in January (which was all clear except for cysts) holds her clinic that day. They said it would more likely be 26 July…

have noticed another appt in my app saying Tuesday 23rd but not received confirmation. 
the wait is agonising, i have other health problems after having Covid last year and I’m having a flare up so in bed with too much time to think but no energy for distracting myself.  on meds from Gp Re:arm - my GP still hasn’t been updated after my referral so I had to tell her.

so one more sleep and you’ll be clearer in moving forward and setting a plan. X

Similar situation to you. Lump literally appeared overnight. Doctor referred me to the hospital and I went a week later, last Thursday. I had an examination, mammogram, ultrasound,  biopsy and another mammogram followed by a brief chat with the consultant. She asked me if I had any questions and I said no. Then I was introduced to my 'care nurse', which is apparently normal.  I was left with her and she asked me again if I had any questions. By this time I was starting to wonder if I was missing something. I said this to her and said "what am I supposed to be asking? You can't tell me what's next because you don't know until te results coe ack". She just said that I was missing nothing but that many people were confused at this stage.

I am finding myself incredibly calm. I have told no one about it because I hate drama and fuss. If I can do this on my own then I shall but I am still wondering if I am missing something.  I go back next Friday 19th for results, options and pre op tests. Have you been back yet?

Hey what did ur lump feel like was it easy to feel or did u have to dig right in ?
