Hi
I just wanted a bit of advice. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer is May 22. I had chemo, surgery, radiotherapy & oral chemo over the course of a year. Fast forward to January 25, I had a bit of discomfort (not really pain) around the scar area and around to my shoulder blade and when I took a deep breath it was uncomfortable. It felt like a pulled muscle. So I thought I would go and get it checked out for which I got an appointment for straight away. In the meantime the discomfort subsided. Consultant checked me over, couldn’t feel anything & was happy but he said he would book me in for a whole body bone scan and an ultrasound. If everything was OK, they would discharge me from their care and go onto the normal mammogram program. So I had the scans this week, Tues 25th. Didn’t get any results for the bone scan, they said I would get results within a couple of weeks. The ultrasound was fine, Doc was happy, couldn’t see anything abnormal. But would have to wait for bone scan results.
I got a phone call this morning from my Consultants secretary. She had been asked to make an appointment for (and around 50 other people) me to go in and see the consultant. I have an appointment in the morning at 9.15 am! So now I’m panicking and very emotional. Are results always discussed in person whether they are good or bad?? I’m just thinking the worst that something has shown up on the scans. Why are they calling me in so quick. The thought of having g to go through it all again is terrifying me. Could they just be telling me everything is fine and they are going to discharge me?? Sorry, I’m just overthinking everything.
