Petrified as the Dr found a lump in my breast

After noticing a lump on my breast last week I went for as Dr appointment, to be told that it definitely was a lump and needed checking out. I have a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy all booked for 10th March. To say I'm petrified is an understatement... I can't eat, sleep or think of anything else. I have a 7 year old girl and a 14 year old boy and I am so scared for them.... 

Its the waiting that is so awful I guess. I just need to know what I'm dealing with... My lump is quite painful. I'm noticing it more and more and it's hurting/aching feeling heavy most of the time.  What I wanted to ask was if anyone else has experienced this? My husband keeps telling me that it's a good sign if it's painful but it's hard to be convinced! 
 

Any advice would be gratefully received. I am really not dealing with this very well at the moment! X 
 

  • Thanks for your encouraging words... I'm trying really hard! Some days good and some days not so good! Tests tomorrow so hopefully will know more of what I'm dealing with. I'll be in touch

  • Hey, 

    How did your appointment go about your nasal problem? I am having my tests tomorrow - so my anxiety is through the roof tonight... I'm going to bed do that I don't have to think about it! Hope you are good anyway. X 

  • Hi Amanda,

  • Sadly, I saw the Consultant yesterday and the biopsy was cancerous, I am terrified.  I now have to wait for ct scan and mri.  I feel so low And there are no posts on Cancer chat that has  anything to do with nasal cancer.  I feel so alone.

  • sadly, digagnosed with nasal cancer, I am petrified.

  • I'm so sorry to hear this..... It's the most awful feeling in the world isn't it..especially if you have no one to train to about it  I was told that I most likely have breast cancer and it might have spread to one of my lymph nodes too so they took 4 biopsies. My God it was so painful! I now have to wait for Monday to see the grade/stage/treatment etc.... Im so worried that it could have spread to other parts too... My chest hurts so much when I breathe in so I'm panicking that it's gone to my lungs too.... My mind is going mad with it all. I'm guessing they will check that all out soon anyway. On top of all this we are now as a family isolating ourselves because of this Coronavirus! The kids schools have been shut and my husband and I are working from home, whilst apparently trying to homeschool a 7 year old and 14 year old!  I can't see my mum or dad as they are at very high risk due to underlying health Issues... Never have I needed a cuddle from my mum so much in my life. We are so close and at this time when I need her more than ever I can't even see her...... I just need to scream and cry and let it all out but I can't because I've got to hold it together with the kids around all the time....I feel like I'm losing the plot. No-one to talk to apart from my husband who is so lovely but doesn't handle things like this very well as he's panicking himself really... He just gets a bit cross with me when I'm sad as he thinks I'm giving up. It's just that I need to be sad. I need to cry. I need to let it sink in. I need to know what my treatment and prognosis is.... Then I'll fight this ***. Until then I'm in absolute limbo and can't think straight at all... I just wish this was all a bad dream. Here if you ever want to vent by the way! Have you had a chance to discuss your treatment yet? X 

  • Hey. Not sure if you get all posts on this thread so thought I would answer individually as you took the time to message me ️ I was told on Tuesday that I most likely have breast cancer and it might have spread to one of my lymph nodes too so they took 4 biopsies. My God it was so painful! I now have to wait for Monday to see the grade/stage/treatment etc.... Im so worried that it could have spread to other parts too...
