Surreal 10 days!

Hello

Well talk about life’s twists and turns . 10 days ago went for my first mammogram just a routine first check I thought having reached 52. Blimey two days later a letter asking me to come to hospital for further investigation, a few days later more mammograms, ultrasound scans and now two biopsy’s on my beautiful right boob.. having felt happy fit four grown up kids my world has been turned upside down and a feeling of total isolation.. 13 days to go until the results... longest 13 days of my life... no one can prepare you everyone is so lovely but nothing they say can help. I wish they could just gives ya the biopsy’s results he same day... seems like forever.. I think I will cope better when I know... my best wishes goes to everyone who reads this xxx

  • Welcome, although I am sorry you find yourself on here.

    I totally understand....I was diagnosed with bc a few days before Christmas. Waiting for results is really the worse bit.....you imagine all sorts! Strangely I managed better after I was diagnosed. There was a protocol I had to follow....

    Stay away from dr google if you can, he will make things worse....there are loads of lovely ladies here , they are a massive support....

    Deep breaths....chin up....dig deep....you can do this xxx

    Hi Tracey,

    A very warm welcome to the forum. I am  so sorry to hear the results of your mammogram, but please remember that this is precisely what they are for - to catch any potential cancer as early as possible. The best thing that you can do is to keep yourself busy to distract yourself from the wait.

    Most of us would agree that waiting for results is one of the scariest parts of our cancer journeys. You are right, most of us do fare better once we get our results and start on surgery or treatment.

    Do please keep us updated on your progress. Remember that we are always here for you.

    Here's hoping that nothing untoward turns up.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
