Hi darling was wondering how you are that's exactly what's happened to me all the same tests and am waiting for biopsy results the waiting is awful isn't it my breast doc and the scan man both said 95 percent sure it's a Fibroadenomas but need a biopsy to be 100 percent sure I am

in a state waiting how did you get on what with this virus going around ime living in a constant state of anxiety sending love xxxx

Hi groovygranny,

thank you for your concern I'm a week in waiting for results doc said it will be 10 days weather that's 10 working days I don't know, the waiting is a killer, especially with this virus going on as well.

all he told me was it's suspicious it was 4 cm to be a frank i think he didn't want to worry me, he did say that if it's cancerous they could take the lump out.

i found spmthing to keep my mind busy so that helps, but i think this virus is going to get worst, I'm in london chingford and i have a hospital opposite and its reached there, an elderly mam, so yes its on my front door.

where do you live ?

Thank you Jolamine, I am now so scared, I have unbearable depression, I have been prescribed anti depressants.  I have just had a CT scan and MRI but I have to wait until 31 March to see the Consultant.  I don't know that I vvan last that long mentally, I cannot eat, sleep, I just want to go to slee and not wake up, I just lie on the sofa all day.  I have a very good husband and feel so bad because of the way I am.

Hi Coco, 

Just wanted to say hi and sorry to hear your appointment didn't go the way you hoped. 
Your story sounds similar to mine. I found a lump in my breast and went straight to the GP who has referred me to the breast clinic. I haven't got my appointment yet. However my lump has since started to hurt and the area around it tender (not sure if this is all the prodding/poking). It's also visible now in certain lighting. I've been to the breast clinic before for abscess/cysts and this doesn't feel similar at all. I am 34 and have two young children. I can't eat or sleep properly :( how old are you?x 

Hi sue

ime only up the road in Buckhurst Hill the waiting is worse it's the uncertainty of it all I just want to know what ime dealing with then I can At least stop worrying about all the what ifs ime just hoping if I've joined the club it's early on and treatable most are so we need to be positive I too am keeping busy but one minute ime ok the next ime not hope you have lots of support I have been obsessed with breast cancers since losing an aunt at 54 and four friends all getting it all well today though so whatever happens we will get through it never a good time for worry but couldn't have picked a worse time half of mob e wishes I have not gone to docs so would now be blissfully unaware the sensible half thinks completely opposite and that I've done the right thing and everything is under control sending love hopefully we will get good news we need to think that ime not goggleing this weekend ime waiting till I go back to the professionals it doesn't help just worry's you more ️ ️ ️ ️ 

Hi Cocobob,

Waiting for the results of your tests is worrying enough, without having the processes of Coronavirus isolating you and your family as well. It sounds as if you are so anxious that this is affecting your breathing. Have you thought of using Skype or What's App to talk to and see your mum? My hubby and I are both over 70 and have a number of health issues, so we are self isolating too, but we do talk to my son and daughter and their families via these measures.

I can understand how both you and your hubby feel. My hubby reacted in a similar way to yours. I found it easier to put a positive face on things once I had a positive diagnosis. I discussed everything with my hubby. I gave him 'he--', but I was so upset that I almost didn't care. This worried him greatly, as he has always been so supportive. He had to see a counsellor to see how to cope with me, but this did help.

I am a strong person and don't cry easily, but I cried copiously at this stage. Don't worry about this, because crying is a good stress reliever. You should feel better on Monday once you know exactly what you are facing. The more positive you can be about beating this disease the better you and your family will cope with it.

In the meantime, try to keep yourself as busy as possible. Can you take someone with you to your appointment? It is always a good idea to do this if you can.  Don't forget to let us know how you get on.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Monday.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Christmas,

Depression goes hand in glove with Cancer, so I'm glad to hear that you have been prescribed antibiotics. I'm glad to hear that you have had your MRI and CT scans and are now waiting patiently for the results. This is a scary time, but you will get through it. I was the same with my hubby at the beginning, but we did get things sorted in the end.

We all seem to find that night time is when our imaginations go into overdrive. There are so many unknowns at the moment that you feel so worried. Do you manage to doze throughout the day?

I hope that the news is good for you on 31st. If you can take someone with you to your appointment, this is always a good idea.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
