Fingers crossed for you today xx

I was like that, work was a place I could escape from my thoughts and over thinking. Once people knew what was going on they said they knew something wasn’t quite right with me but didn’t know what. We have many masks that hide a lot. It’s when we get home and take off the mask that it all comes to a head and tears and mind wandering happening. It is so true you don’t feel it but we are stronger than we think. So much support on here though and that’s what sees us through it because it’s from people who have gone through it  x 

Hi Beachbabe, I definitely know what you mean about work I'm just finished and had no thinking time. I'm in a good place at the moment for my apt Friday, actually not even worrying which is exceptional! To be honest there are so many scenarios in my life that I'm scared of but when it comes I cope this scenario is no different. It makes us the people we are today, to be fair it restores my faith in humanity to know there's so many caring people out there. That we can all support each other without even knowing one another it truly is amazing! Ali - I hope everything went well today, do let us know how you got on. Jo x

Must admit the ladies on the thread The good and the bad are amazing ladies definitely worth you dropping in on them! They helped me so much and like you say don’t really know them but in time you do and that’s another reason why I stayed on here to keep in touch with people and find out how they are getting on! 

Ali hope your ok please let us know x 

HI Ali,

I hope that your appointment at the clinic went well today. Did you have some tests done and, did your consultant give you any indication of your diagnosis?

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Kind regards,

Hi, I can completely relate to how you're feeling. I'm 26 (27 next month) I have two young kids too. My eldest he's 2 and a half almost and my youngest she's almost 3 months. I also found a lump about a month ago I had my appointment at the clinic today. The consultant checked me over and he said it was nothing could be breastfeeding induced as he couldn't feel it however 2 Dr's at my surgery could feel it a month prior to that. Anyway moving forward the consultant told me I should have the scan anyway but I can be on my way after that as the images will probably show nothing. Only to go in and have an ultrasound for them to find what looks like a cancerous lump. They took a biopsy straight away, the lump is around 1cm in size. It was painful, well I found it painful anyway. I was in tears probably because of the added anxiety and just the general feeling of being overwhelmed, I mean of course I have a husband who I adore and 2 small kids and a big family. It's all too much to take in but I won't hear back for two weeks. The consultant did say if they write to me it's good news if they call me in for an appointment it's because they need to discuss things with me as it may be cancer or it may be benign. I'm hoping it's benign and they can just remove it and done. Ideally I would just love to receive that letter and be done with this lump debacle.

I hope this doesn't scare you but untimately I wasn't prepared for today I wish I was. I wish I knew more and I wish somebody had told me this or I at least read it here. I'm praying for the best for all of us. Just prepare yourself for this appointment and do take a loved one with you.
