Hi Rosie, you’ve done the right thing getting it looked into, I know how hard it is but right now all you can do is breathe and wait. I know that’s so difficult trust me - I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Stage 3 breast cancer at 34 in 2023 and I’m lucky enough to be cancer free at the moment. But now I have scan anxiety! Waiting is always difficult but it’s part of the journey. Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Thankyou for the reply! I'm so pleased you are now cancer free and I hope you are feeling better? Its so hard waiting. Can I ask when you had your first ultrasound/mammogram did they tell you straight away there was something or did you have to wait? 

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to be cancer free but also genuinely and forever changed by the experience, so survival is coming with its own challenges. I have CT scan results tomorrow and the 13 day wait for the results appointment has been as difficult as the first time. During my first breast clinic referral I was examined by the doctor, had an ultrasound done and they were concerned by what they saw. This was my first worry that something might be wrong as they were taking biopsies straight away so I knew it wasn’t nothing. But then I was surprised a little while later the same doctor told me then and there in his experience what they were looking at was breast cancer in my breast and lymph nodes. I was stunned. I thought for sure they’d have to wait to say something like that but he was certain, and he was right. 

I can understand that it's an awful battle to face you should be so proud of yourself! Thankyou for that I feel a little more relieved that I will know the likelihood after the ultrasound. I really hope your recovery continues to go well xx

Thanks, I hope your appointment goes well and it turns out to be nothing sinister xx
