Keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Thank you ! 

I had my ultrasound and biopsies on Thursday, now just the wait for results !

The biopsy was a painless and efficient experience for me and the staff were amazing. I'm more stressed about removing my dressing, still haven't built up the courage to do this ( although it's definitely time !)

Thinking of everyone on this thread. I am trying to keep busy whilst awaiting results - helps that the weather is better and being able to see friends again,

Hello 

Glad to hear the biopsy experience was a good one. Sending you all the positivity for the results. 
 

Today my mom, my daughter and I all did the Race For Life 5K. They walked but I decided to challenge myself and run it. Thought of all of you as I was doing it, sending positivity and collectively we have raised almost £500! 
 

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather.

Hi Faye,

Congratulations to all three of you for completing the Race For Life 5K. This was a tremendous achievement and you have managed to raise a lot of money for a worthwhile cause.

Kind regards,

Hi, 

wondering if anyone can help me.... 

so I found a tiny lump on the top of my breast about 5 months ago at the time I was pregnant put it down to horomones I had my baby and at my 12 week check showed the dr and they dismissed it as nothing. 
 

now 3 months on I've been back over it because it's still there and they have now referred me to the breast clinic. They have said to me not to worry they think it's nothing but I can't help but be so stressed over it. It's a small lump it's just below the skin and hasn't grew in 5 months but I can't help but be stressed. 
 

also I didn't have any pain but now feel like I've got pain is this normal? 
forgot to say am also 26
 

thanks Lucy 

Hi Lucy,

A very warm welcome to our forum and congratulations on the birth of your baby. I am sorry to hear about your symptoms, but just want to reassure you that many ladies get changes in their breasts when they are pregnant/lactating. Many of these are harmless and not cancerous. Besides, not all lumps are cancerous and, the younger you are, although not impossible, it is less likely to be. I stress that I am not a doctor, just someone who has had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 11 years. 

It is also a fact that only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will receive a cancer diagnosis, so the odds are still in your favour. This is a time when you should be enjoying motherhood and family life. Remember that 'it's not cancer until you're told that it is'. Even if the worst comes to the worst, breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer and, although not particularly pleasant to undertake, it is all perfectly 'doable.'

I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer and, there is just no comparison in the diagnosis, treatment and aftercare which we both received. Things really have come a long way in just a few years. It is not usual for pain to accompany breast cancer, but it is common for us to imagine all sorts of additional niggles whilst we are waiting to be seen.

It doesn't sound as if your GP is particularly concerned and it is reassuring to know that the lump is small and, that you have noticed no change in the past 5 months. Many people find that their lump is a benign cyst or fibroadenoma. After childbirth, it can be due to infection or mastitis. Try to take reassurance from all of these positive facts and, don't worry about feeling over emotional at present. This is something that most of us experience. Please keep us posted when your appointment comes through and I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Lucy,

I am glad to hear that your appointment has now come through and that you don't have much longer to wait. Waiting is always agony. We normally advise people to keep busy and to stay away from Google, but with a new baby, I don't expect that this will be a problem.

I am still hopeful for a good outcome and, will look forward to your update.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Afternoon 

I thought I'd post an update. 

Today marks 2 weeks since my biopsy and I had still had no results  so I called the consultants secretary who informed me it was the MDT meeting yesterday and that a letter was in the post with my results. I asked if there was anything she could tell me on the phone and she was able to reassure from reading the letter out to me that  my results showed that my lump was benign and that no further actions were required - I was so relieved she was able to tell me this over the phone instead of waiting for the letter. 

Thinking of everyone on this forum, you are all amazing. Thank you for your support and kind words over the past weeks, they have been of great comfort,
