For the past three weeks I have been 'lurking' in this site. 
I felt two long ridges (lumps) in my right breast. 
This triggered copious amount of googling and I got myself into a complete state of panic. 
Reading the posts on here gave me confidence that treatments today are better than ever and there are a lot of fantastic women on here fighting, united, each giving amazing support to those waiting diagnosis, newly diagnosed and through treatments. 
For me it has been a long three week wait, today I had my appointment at the breast clinic where I was examined, I had a mammogram and ultrasound I cried through the whole process, but each professional who dealt with me never once made me feel uncomfortable, they were amazing. 
Both mammogram and ultrasound were clear, the ridges were fatty tissue which made me cry even more with relief! 
I want to thank you all for the secret support I felt from reading your posts 

I sincerely wish you all the best in your treatments. 

Cancer research provides a very informative supportive service as well as the research that's carried out always looking for new treatments and I hope and pray one day a cure. And the nurses that provide their support and comforting resssuring words and advice (I spoke to one on the telephone during my time of fear)

As a token of my gratitude I will be making a donation to cancer research uk

keep fighting I think your all amazing xxxx
