Was the biopsy painful? You were lucky to have him there as it must be hard for him to see you upset.

of course I’ll keep in touch, you too 

take care xx

Not at all, I didn't feel a thing other than a slight sting from the local anesthetic. It's a little sore now but I think that's more to do with the sticky parts of the dressing pulling my skin.

Hi, hope you don’t mind me joining, I’ve been following your post today, last Tuesday I went to my GP with a lump under my armpit, he said it was a swollen lymph node.. so referred to breast clinic ( appointment next Tue 21st ) he then phoned and said he was sending me for a chest X-ray ( this has come back ok ) I suffer terrible with blooming health anxiety and of course I then turn to Google !! I know that’s the silliest thing to do, but that did help me get to here and be typing this.. I was just sat in the room trying to watch telly and thought I will have a feel of my boobs as you do and now I think I’ve found a lump in my boob.. I’m shaking typing this  for goodness sake..my partner is coming with me next week so I’m not on my own, my daughter has just started her GCSEs yesterday so trying to keep my mind occupied ( nothings working tho and I feel quite scared ) 

i just don’t really know what to think.. be nice to chat to others who are in the same situation

Hi J 

I wish I could offer you some reassurance. I'm sure you are absolutely fine, most if these things turn out to be benign. I wish I could take me own advice and stop worrying too.

I'm glad your husband is going with you. Stay in touch. Thinking of you.

Take care too

Hi Rach, been looking through this forumn and just wondering how you got on after biopsy? Hope all was ok. My symptoms are simialr to you si just thought Id see how you got on.

Hi

I get my results tomorrow. To say I'm worried is an understatement, I'm absolutely petrified.

I just wish I could find good news stories of people that have had lymph node biopsies (without a known cancer) after ultrasound and had a benign result but I can't find any. Which just fuels my anxiety. I am sure there must be lots but maybe people don't post about them. 

Please think of me tomorrow, I'm so frightened.

Aw youll be in my thoughts and prayers! Im a nurse endoscopist so its usually me telling my patients about these things but its not nice being on the other end of things. Let me know how you get on. 

Best wishes

Hi Rach,

I just want to wish you all the best for your results tomorrow.

Don’t worry about not finding good reports. When people get good news most of them disappear off the forums and get on with their lives.

I shall be thinking of and praying for you tomorrow and hope that it all goes well.

Are you taking someone with you for your appointment? This is usually a good idea, especially when you are going to get results.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
