Good luck tomorrow my fingers are crossed for you. 

Welcome Jo hope everything goes well on Friday for you as well. Please tell us a little bit more about you x 

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm 33 I don't have any children.  Only recently found a lump I've never had any changes before in my breasts went along to the doctor's expecting to be re-assured it's nothing to be confronted with a breast clinic referral.  No re-assurances or anything that could calm my nerves even slightly.  I'm hoping this is standard for GP's but it doesn't really matter I guess, as the experts will tell me more. 

To be honest it didn't become real until I had my letter with my apt things have moved quickly, but I'd rather that than more waiting.    Black and white always seems to make things more real.

I feel as though I'm in limbo technically I have nothing to tell but yet I have all this worry - looking forward to Friday, when I may know more, and lets not forget be worry free. 

It has helped to know alot of people are in the same situation, I'm hoping for good news for everyone.  

Yes it is a very worrying time the not knowing and nothing anyone can say will totally stop that. Try and keep busy it doesn’t make you forget but for a while you do think of other things. Most areas have a two week referral practise. Plus most will do a see the doctor then mammogram then if need be an ultrasound scan then maybe biopsies. This maybe be done all on the same day. Then normally about a week wait for results. Have you got someone to go with you? It’s worth writing any questions down as your mind goes blank the minute you walk in and you can’t always take everything in what they are saying x

Hi Worried_jo,

Waiting on results is always a worrying time for all of us. Try to keep yourself busy to distract yourself from the wait.

I hope that you get a favourable outcome on Friday.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Yes, I have someone coming along.  I was going to go myself but figured the moral support could be a good thing.   Definitely focusing on being busy to avoid the thought process.  

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely ensure I have a list of any questions I come up against! 

hi jade, hi everyone! Wow firstly can i just say thank you to you all for remembering me, and that my appointment is today.. honestly thank you. My appointment is at 2pm I previously thought it was 1:30 but i got that confused with my baby’s doctor appointment last week :D .. i will admit guys this week has been very up and down, been quite sore and unwell so that has of course added to my worries. Feel abit calmer at hw moment but i am sure that will change! In a huge rush right now so the next time i post will be after my appointment and i too hope it’s for a good reason. I need to Breathe!! ughh! Cheers again you lovely people and i shall let you know later whatever the outcome is. Xxxx

Oh bless you......keep calm and carry on soldier....you got this xx

Hi guys heres my very positive update! Waited an hour to see the doctor and a medical student.. the medical student examined me first And then the doctor. I was more than happy to let the medical student examine me as they could of spotted something the doctor may miss! Unlikely but the more hands the better i say :) so basically they had a really good examine and found multiple lumps, which with my history of fibroadenoma they were confident these were also fibroadenomas but sent me for an ultrasound to be on the safe side. The ultrasound confirmed this. They couldn’t tell me why I’ve been having deep armpit pain but told me to keep an eye on it and if no improvement i must go back to gp in 8 weeks or so. My mind is now at ease and i can look at my little boys again without wondering how they would cope without their mummy. Honestly thank you all so much for your support and well wishes. To anyone waiting for tests or results i wish you nothing but luck and the best. I will be checking back to see how everyone is getting on and i hope you all take care, keep safe and stay positive. What a lovely supportive bunch of people xx

Thank you Marlyn absolutely agree it really does put things into perspective, and has made me appreciate things more.. hope you are well and will definitely be checking the baps regularly! Xxx
