Hi Wolvesgirl,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries and what you've been through recently. I can imagine it is unsettling to be referred again although at least it means you'll get some answers soon.

It sounds like you have experience with being referred to the clinic so you perhaps know what to expect. In the meantime, try to keep yourself busy and distracted - as some people say this helps to keep your mind off things.

Do of course use this forum as much as you'd like for any support too.

Wishing you all the best,

Hi Wolvesgirl,

Welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about all of these ongoing cysts and hope that you get some answers when you visit the breast clinic. You should get an appointment within 2 weeks. I'm sure that you have already been told that pain is not normally a sign of breast cancer, so here is hoping that this is the case.

With the pain and changes you've been experiencing, you are as well to get this checked out. From someone who hads had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 10 years, I can assure you that the way you are feeling emotionally is perfectly normal. Most of us also tend to persuade ourselves that we have breast cancer or that it's a lot worse than it turns out to be. Fortunately, this seldom proves to be the case. The odds are still in your favour, as only 1 person in 8 who attend the breast clinic will be diagnosed with cancer.

Here's hoping that you'll be one of the lucky ones!

Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks Ben I will I appreciate your kind response 

Thanks jolamine I had to go back to the doctors yesterday as they had messed up my referral so the doctor had to do it again he examined me and has put me on another course of antibiotics I just feel really poorly at the moment I'm hoping this lot of antibiotics does the trick and that there's nothing else sinister going on with my breast and thanks for replying to me I have read some of your posts and you seem an amazing person hope everything is going okay for you at the moment x

Hi Wolvesgirl, 

Remember that antibiotics can knock the stuffing out of you too, so this may be partly why you feel so awful. I hope that you have sorted out your referral now and, that it doesn't take long to get your appointment. I am hoping and  praying that nothing sinister is found. Don't forget to let us know. 

I'm chuntering on at the moment thanks, but that is how I like it - not too much excitement!

Kind regards,

Kolamine xx
