Thank you Jolamine and Grace

I had very little sleep last night... I am just imagining the worst. I am in work this morning too which I was hoping to keep my mind off things (its not working clearly as I am posting in here!).

I had a cyst around 10 years ago which they drained there and then. This feels different though. The doctor said it felt gristly - whatever that means although in my head it doesn't sound good. I had a low grade cancerous cells removed from my colon January 2019 and then had various things wrong since then and I can't help but think everything is linked. 

I am getting sick of myself with all this doom and gloom but I can't talk to anyone about it so I guess I am just off-loading on here. Sorry everyone!!

Hi Claire,

It sounds as if you've had a hard time over the past few years. It is only natural to think that everything is linked, but I sincerely hope that it's not.

It must be especially difficult having nobody to talk to. This is why we are here - for sunny days yes, but also for the blacker days. Don't think that you are alone in these. We all have them, so feel free to off-load as much as you like here. We have all experienced what you are going through and, nothing you say will shock us.

Not long to go now. I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that all goes well.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Today is the day and have not slept a wink. Still have shooting pains under both arms, both breasts are sore, lump is sore and I have been trying very hard not to feel the lump. I'm one breath away from a full on panic attack. 
 

What's going through my mind is that caught early breast cancer lump is supposed to be painless but because I have all this pain, I wonder if I am too late. I just know it's going to be something awful and my life and the life of my kids are about to be turned upside down! 
 

Sorry for my doom and gloom but I don't know what to do with myself!!!
 

Hi jolamine 

thought I would let you know that I had 2 cysts that were drained. One was banana shaped with a tough membrane which took 3 goes with the needle to remove.

I was still worried about the pins and needles under my arms but she said the breast pain I was feeling was probably stress hormones not helped by the fact my Mirena coil is expiring. The brain does indeed do funny things. The mammogram also was clear. 

thank you for your kind messages in what were dark times. Hopefully this post will give some positivity to those who are searching for the same symptoms as me - always get checked no matter how frightening it is. The staff at the hospital were amazing as I was a weeping wreck - wasn't even properly crying but my eyes kept leaking!!! Thanks again xxx
 

I am so relieved for you I'm glad you got the all clear definitely given me positivity for the next week I still have to wait. Xxx

Good luck Grace. Let us know how you get on xx
