How are you doing? Wanted to check up cause if your wait is anything like mine, it’s horrendous

I actually managed to get a cancellation and went yesterday! 
I was so relieved to be told it’s just very dense glandular tissue that’s close to the surface which is why I could feel it. The consultant couldn’t actually feel anything, what I thought was a lump she said wasn’t. So sent me for an ultrasound of that area anyway and the lady that did that was lovely and checked twice for me, said she was happy there was nothing of concern and confident it was all just dense glandular tissue. That doesn’t help with the pain I’ve been getting but I’m relieved there’s nothing sinister. Naturally I have that niggle with “what if something’s been missed” but I’m trying to just focus on the positive because that and the tingling was the only symptom I had. When are you there, 11th? X

Ah that’s so amazing to hear I’m so glad it’s positive news for you! I bet you’re so relieved! Mine is 13th however I rang and they’ve said they’d let me know if they have cancellations so hopefully sooner!! Luckily it’s not dragging too much with work and the kids to keep me busy! 
I’m so happy for you xxx

Thank you!

im really pleased but I think there’s still a bit of niggling in my mind but im just accepting what they’ve told me and if anything else changes, I’ll go back to the GP :)

ah please let me know how you get on! Like you say, it’ll go quickly with work and the kids keeping you busy and I’m sure it’ll be good news for you! Have you had many symptoms since? Xx

That’s understandable but it sounds like you were in amazing hands and hopefully bit by bit those niggly doubts will begin to fade! 
thank you, I truly hope so. I thought I found a tiny hard lump near where the blood came from so like on the actual nipple, but very tiny, that’s why I rang for cancellation app, it’s probably always been there and just my mind playing tricks on me! I’ll keep you updated!! For how awful the wait has been, it’s came around fast  xxx

Yeah I’m sure they will. I had a full blood test today so I’m hoping something flags up in there to explain the pain, like an imbalance in hormones or something. Who knows.

im sure like you say it’s probably always been there. The problem is now you’ve got one symptom that’s been looked at you end up trying to search for others and can sometimes convince yourself somethings there when it isn’t. It’s likely just part of your breast tissue. 
only a couple of days to wait now and I imagine you’ll be busy this weekend with your children x

Thank you so much for messaging. It’s not cancer! They said it was most likely an inflamed milk duct that became too irritated and caused the bleed but no cancer! I’m so pleased for us both. You only ever read the horror stories on these threads so I hope it can provide someone in the future reassurance to know that not all outcomes are negative or cancer related 

1. Oh I’m so so pleased for you! I was thinking about you earlier wondering what time you were in, that’s the best news! The relief you feel when you’re told they can’t see anything of concern is just so good. It just goes to show like you say that you can have symptoms very similar To something you see on a forum but that doesn’t mean it’s the same outcome. Lots of problems like this are often not cancer but the best thing to do is get to the doctor who can check these things out and refer you if needed for the confirmation! I think it’s made me much more hyper aware of myself though which has given me the push to deal with some underlying health anxiety I might have but that’s never a bad thing! 

Oh definitely, like it’s so so important to get checked and I was always under this stupid false belief that it’ll never be me, well as much as it wasn’t this time, again it’s made me so much more aware of just how realistic it is and how scary it can be. I’m just so happy for both of us and long may this good health continue!
