Awaiting breast cancer tests

Hi

This is my first time posting but felt that I needed to.  I first found my lump around 6 weeks ago but put it down to my menstrual cycle! Last week I checked again and found that the lump had grown quite a bit and it's unmissable now! I went to my gp the following day who then sent an urgent referral to be seen due to its shape, lack of pain and history of family breast cancer (my mum's mum died at my age and her sister has had it twice and had to have a double vasectomy). A week on and hadn't heard so contacted my gp yesterday,  this morning I had a call saying that I will be getting a call within the next few days to arrange an appointment.   I have no idea of the procedure or what will happen on the day so am hoping someone here will be able to help me

 

Many thanks xxx

  • I do slimming world too! I've lost just short of 2 and a half stone in 17 weeks! I haven't been a size 10/12 In years lol!! Your tea sounds lovely and to be fair pretty syn free too! Have you tried the baked oats or the ready brek pancakes? They are amazing!! I do have horses yes, have ridden most of my life and I couldn't be without them! Good for you riding again and I'm sure no matter what the outcome for either of us we won't let it stop us from doing anything  xxx 

  • That’s amazing well done.. I do quite enjoy doing it, I’ve not tried those I did the banana pancakes and they tasted ok not like proper pancakes tho!! 

    Aww that’s fab, and quite strange ( but lovely ) that we have found each other both with a love of horses.. I’m hoping to go riding tomorrow afternoon I cantered last week something I haven’t done for a good few years!! 

    I miss everything about it, even the smell haha...

    its also giving me something else to think about which is good xxx

     

  • Horses are very calming, mine know all my ups and downs, especially my girl called merry! She is one in a million and I must be making her ears bleed lately lol! You should really go tomorrow,  it helps to forget everything and feel both peaceful and exhilarated at the same time! Maybe I should go tomorrow too! Don't give up on it, no matter what as horses just seem to know how we are feeling x  it is weird...but nice that we met on here, it's so nice to be able to talk with someone that us going through the same....although I wouldn't wish this feeling on anyone xx 

  • They really are, and once you have the horse love I don’t think it ever leaves.. 

    yes im going to keep going and just try go with the flow.. 

    I’m pleased we have got chatting, it’s always good to talk

  • No, it never leaves xx  I find this time of night worse for worrying and this when all the what ifs start creeping in xxx

  • hi, you replied to my thread and asked me to comment on yours as there’s a few of you ladies experiencing the same. im absolutely worried sick. having yet been given an appointment for the breast clinic is making me even more anxious. im 28 with family history of breast cancer. i feel stupid for panicking. im more worried about telling family as we’ve had a lot of bad health and cancer diagnosis in the last year so avoiding telling them anything until i know what’s causing the blood discharge. ive got a gp appointment tomorrow so will ask if i should have heard from them by now. 

  • I know what you mean, I have a few parts during the day that get me, I have found I’ve been a bit sharp with my partner too which is not like me at all, he only phoned to say he was going to be a bit later as he had called at his parents!! In my head tho it was longer on my own, even though I was out walking.. 

    im going to bed shortly.. I hope you have a good night and I will speak to you tomorrow.. 

    hugs xxx

  • Hi Morgan xxx I am here whenever you need to chat xx I understand,  the waiting is awful and everyone deals with it in different ways.  I try to remain positive as much as I possibly can but I just want to know either way now so that I can start dealing with it xx I understand you not wanting to cause your family any upset and I fully respect your decision but as a mum myself I would want to know if you were my daughter, if anything I wouldn't want you gping through this alone xx hence why I told my mum, who by the way went to total pieces and I had to ask her to stop and be as strong as she could as I don't need to worry about her upset too and to be fair she is trying!!!  I just don't like to think of you going through the worry alone xxxx 

     

    J if I haven't missed you....sleep well cariad xxxx
