Hi

Sorry to read your post.

I am at the moment worried sick waiting for ct results.

I suffer with anxiety after suffering from cancer quite a few years ago.

Firstly be assured that if you had breast cancer 2 years ago, you probably wouldn't be here now without treatment.

It's good that you are getting checked at the hospital, it is usually pretty quick getting you in. I, like you don't like going, especially with the virus, but off I went bravely by myself, with a mask on and I felt fine. Just say to yourself... this has to be done for my sanity if nothing else. Believe me from past experience, knowing one way or the other is better that the 'dangling not knowing'. 

I too am suffering with acid reflux, also made worse with stress.

Maybe ring up the breast unit and explain your anxiety and ask to get you in as soon as possible to get it over with. If they do an ultrasound & mammogram while you are there, you may get the results the same day. 

I have been waiting a week for my scan results, every night I go to bed I think... one day closer to getting them.

I totally know how you feel, waking up scared, your mind running away with it's self. And the thing everyone knows you shouldn't ... having a quick look on 'Dr Google.

Just say to yourself, it needs to be done and try not to think about it.

Good luck, let me know how you go xx

Thank you so much for your reply it means a'lot it's always nice to find others who understand and are going through the same experience (even though a horrible one) I have been a worrier since I was a little girl I'm 41 now and still the same. I really hope you get your results soon and everything is ok. I will keep you posted with my appointment x x 

Hello

I'm also suffering from a lump in my breast (found by my gp) burning pain, pain my chest to (this is clear due to chest x ray and bloods and ecg.

Im awaiting an appointment for the breast clinic and my anxiety is through the roof.

I speak to my counsellor who is helping but its hard.

Hi Allison, 

I am so very worried and waiting for my appointment at the hospital which will hopefully be in the next 2 wks. I hate that I can not have anyone come inside the hospital with me and I wont know where to go when I get there so Im going to be a mess. My boob hurts so much, my anxiety is so bad at the best of times but 1000% times worse at the moment. I am so sorry you are going through this too, it would be great to keep in touch on here and keep chatting  and let each other know how we are getting on it may be a comfort.

Hi Serena

I will definitely keep in touch. I'm finding it hard and it's affecting my little girl who is seeing me struggle through this. 

My mum had breast cancer last year and beat it and friends are telling it could be benign. 

Sending virtual hugs to you.

It's amazing that your Mum beat breast cancer, yes I really hope once we have had our appointments there will be nothing for both of us to worry about. It's really nice to have someone to talk to who knows exactly what I am going through.

Sending virtual hugs back to you.

Hello Rennie i also know how your feeling i had to do exactly the same as you will have to.i hate going anywhere in my own at the best of times and even the thought of going to my gp freaked me out as my doctors  is closed, as its being used as a Corona virus testing station, as my doctors have recently.emerged with 2 other gp surgeries and i had to drive to one i wasn't  familiar with .i I eft it 2vweeks before i called the doctors and when seen I was referred to a breast clinic and then had an appointment come through from the breasts clinic  in 2 weeks. But i got a cancellation and took it i had 3 mamagrams and ultrasound, and  five biopsies taken. And a metal coil marker clip insertedi nto my breast the 3 mamagrams were occult and didn't show up anything, but the ultrasound did show a large solid hard mass., hence  the biobsys and metal coil marker clip inserted.  I had a call fr consultant on the 26th May to say it is breast cancer and it had spread to my lympth nodes and i would need an operation, a lumpectomy and all lymph nodes removed from under my arm.i had a bone scan yesterday another cancellation i took.witjin a few hrs notice.And today i had a ct scan which i only knew would be happening when i.got home from the bone scan yesterday as i.had a call asking me ro call them bsck to arrange the CT scan ..I did it , Sooo scared  but i knew i had to  do it  and be brave. I think we all go through these days of anxieties  and worry.
