I'm in the same boat as you almost exactly - having a biopsy on monday also! I'm not telling anyone except my ex husband (he's a great friend). I couldn't bear the wait so paid for a private mammogram which was useless as apparantly I have dense breasts) and the sonogram said 50/50 of being either good or bad news. I'm not really coping well. I can't bear the thought of telling my mother or kids.

I can't stop googling and my chest is tight nad painful - probably through stress, but it makes me worry more.

Good luck on monday x

Hi Aj,

Welcome to our community. I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms and the worry they are causing you.

I am glad to hear that you are having a biopsy on Monday. You are likely to have another anxious week after that until you get your results back.

I am not a doctor, but would suspect that stress is playing a big part in your chest pain. Try your best to stay away from Dr Google. Much of this information is out of date, poorly researched and aimed at producing spectacular stories. This can only increase your anxiety.

Can your bring someone with you to your clinic appointments? It is always helpful to have someone with you, especially when you are expecting the results of any tests.

I sincerely hope that all goes well on Monday and shall be thinking of you then. Do please keep us updated on your progress. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

That’s good that you two are still good friends. I know what you mean with the your chest feeling tight etc, mine has been like it for the past few days, I think it is stress and worry about app on Monday. It’s the not knowing and the what ifs.

i hope for the best for you on Monday and hope that you get good news also

Thank you! 

Have tried to keep busy and treat the kids lots whilst out shopping. They're being so adoreable with it being mothers day and I couldn't bare them to know anything was wrong.

I'll be a step closer tomorrow anyway with a biopsy done. My chest is agony and I'm sure also that it's stress.

Fingers crossed xx

Thank you for the welcome xx

I feel close to a panic attack about 3 times a day at the moment, I really need to take control of this anxiety.

And yes Dr Google is no help whatsoever in putting my mind at rest!!

Kind of dreading tomorrow but know the ball has to get rolling ASAP.

Will update tomorrow,

And thank you again xx
