Hello LouJ79, 

Welcome to our forum. I can completely understand why you are feeling worried at the moment especially in the current climate. Hopefully it won't be too long now until you see your consultant again and now is a good time maybe to write down the questions you may have for him when you have your appointment on the 20th. Don't hesitate when you see him to ask him all these questions and I am sure he will be happy to answer and guide you through the best treatment options that are available to you at the moment.

I do hope that the Covid-19 situation will not cause too many delays - I am sure your medical team will do their very best for you. If you have any questions, our nurses are available on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to give them a call and talk things through with them. 

I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you!

Best wishes,

Hi LouJ79

I've just been diagnosed and my consultant was convinced my lump was nothing to worry about and was shocked when the Dr doing the scan requested a biopsy. I was still told all the it's and buts and introduced me to a breast nurse for any questions I might have in the wait for results. They probably have to go through all the outcomes 

It's easy to say to try not to worry but if it is cancer, you've found it and now it can be treated.

Take care

Thank you V31KYG and Lucie for your replies.

I have been going out of my mind the last 10 days, hardly eating or sleeping. I tried chasing up the results last week, but with no luck, as they had not come back from the lab. The consultant's secretary was certain the results would be ready tomorrow though for my meeting with the consultant. 
 

I have resigned myself to the fact that it probably is cancer. I just feel totally depressed by the whole thing. My husband and I have had a tough few years with failed fertility treatments and a miscarriage, my beloved Dad passing and now this. I'm not sure how I will find the strength to go through treatment xx 

Oh LouJ79

I'm so sorry you've really been going through it. 

You will find the strength. You will surprise youself, you've got through so much already! 

All the waiting is so hard especially at the moment when we can't go out and take your mind off it.

Good luck tomorrow, whatever the result you can do this.
