I was in a very similar situation just days before Christmas, I was given the news I need a hospital visit after my first mammogram, a further scan showed a solid lump and a biopsy was taken within minutes, this was a total shock, and I left the hospital terrified.

The next week was so worrying, and if my friend hadn't come with me I don't know how I would have coped with going for the results.

I was told I have a Phyllodes tumor, I was told they think it is benign and was booked in for surgery on 3rd of Jan... scared again as never had an opperation.

All done now and waiting for reults of op, 2 days to go... still scared although I should be releived it could be so much worse and feel stupid for being so worried.

I wish all the ladies on this site well with their treatment and thank them for sharing their experiences as it has helped me cope x

Hi Weewitchie,

A warm welcome to our forum.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am glad to hear that you have had your surgery and are now waiting for the pathology results. It is always a scary time waiting for results and you are certainly not stupid. Nearly all of us find our emotions are all over the place at this stage.

Fortunately, you don't have much longer to wait now.

I'll be thinking of you on Thursday and, hope that you are bringing someone with you to your appointment again.

Please update us when you get your results.

Kind regards,

Thank you for your reply, I'll send a message tomorrow to let everyone know how I get on.

Reading everyones messages it means a lot to have support from people who understand how this feels.

I've lost alot of people to cancer including my mum and dad, and I don't think I ever understood how scared they must have been until now.

Be strong every one, much love xxx

Good news !!

The results were benign and I don't need to go back for a year, just to check not grown back.

So relieved...

I hope everyone reading this gets some hope that not all lumps are going to result in more treatment.

The surgery is nothing to fear, thanks to the team at St Helens Hospital and all their care.

How do you thank these people they are worth their weight in gold...

All my wishes are for everyone else, I hope all goes well, I will keep looking to see how everyone gets on...
