Hi Sophe I’m in the middle of a similar experience, all happened over the last three weeks and now booked in for surgery to have two small tumours removed from my breast.  So difficult not to worry but the positives are a lot of breast cancers are very treatable and curable   I know until the consultant tells you that you imagine anything and everything and it’s so difficult to do anything other than dwell on it with lots of emotions.  I’ve found a good box set is helping me and focusing of positive thoughts about what it is, but I do have wobbles all the time too x

Thanks stepydoc and I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a similar situation too and glad you're booked in already that's great news I'm sure that's a relief for you x.

The waiting for results is awful, on the goods days I tell myself there's nothing I can do now it's in the hands of the gods (consultants etc and I can cope for a while until the next panic, so plenty of wobbles here too. 

Every twinge & pain I'm having I'm imagining it's the cancer spreading. Any good book sets etc yourself or anyone can recommend would be very much appreciated lol    x

Hi Sophe, welcome to the chats.  It is so hard not to let your mind wander, it's a huge shock and certainly is a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions that range greatly sometimes from one minute to the next.  Waiting is certainly torturous and it sounds like you are trying to keep positive and distracted.  I would agree that focusing on what you do know is priority but know from my own experience that you can't help thinking so many scenarios.

Did you phone to ask for more info?  x

Thanks Angel-1 I think I'm in denial and feel peaceful & normal at times and then reality hits. Didn't have a great night last night I was tossing & turning.until 4am but I'm off work today so I'm treating myself to a  lie in this morning  lol

I'm going to try ringing the hospital today  although they did say they wouldn't be meeting until this Friday so not expecting any update but you never know so fingers crossed.

I told my sister yesterday she's the first I've told from my husband and she's going to come with me to the meeting with the consultant for the diagnosis.so really glad about that.

I keep reminding myself to take one step at a time, as I am usually the total opposite of that.

Hopefully I'll have more information later eeeek! X

Hi Sophe I know exactly what you mean about any aches and pains and imagining all sorts to be happening when it really isn’t.   I’ve found box sets are helping me atm but in terms of book, Michael connelly and David Baldacci work for me too.  Box sets, try love/hate xx

Thanks for the welcome Angel-1  I phoned my GP today, and he explained that the hospital hold the breast team meetings on a Friday and other cancers on each of the other days. He hasn't received anything from the hospital yet so he says.  So I'm no further forward.im going to phone the hospital tomorrow I'm just not sure.they will give me a result over the phone as they said they would contact me when they have discussed the results and treatment at an appointment meeting. 

My GP aid it as fortunate that it showed up on an mammogram as had he had to refer me it would be weeks before I would be even seen and on the NHS system. Bit worried now about the length of time between being diagnosed and treatment. I'm away ahead again...one step at a time :-)

Good luck Tomorrow I hope all goes well for you at your MRI x

Hi Stephydoc and I absolutely loved the Bosch TV series and normally the books are usually better so I'll be giving them ago and I've never read anything of David Baldacci so I'll be looking him up thanks :-)

Love/hate has great reviews I've never watched it although I think the whole country had watched game of thrones years before I got round to watching it and then no one was interested discussing it lol 

I enjoyed Succession, Ozark and Billions lol they're pretty mild compared to Love/hate lol . I did like Perky Blinders although I'd lie anything Cillian Murphy'sin :-)

Thanks Stepydoc x

Aww 2 more sleeps and then you'll hopefully at least have an appointment meeting?  The waiting really is so so hard and we just want to know.   I agree with your GP that is is fortunate it showed up.

Thank you for the good luck wishes for tomorrrow, it means a lot.  I've actually been ok today and felt a bit giddy  as I feel that at least something is. being done but now I am feeling a bit apprehensive.  Not about the MRI itself but the cannula where they put the dye in.  I'm counting down 5 more sleeps until my appointment with the consultant and hoping the biopsy/MRI results will be in then.  Sending positive thoughts x

Oooh will have to get watching these
