So tomorrow I go to the Breast Clinic

So I've just finished work and I'm sat having a cuppa, my mind is racing about what to expect tomorrow.... yes I I have had some lovely advice and know what tests could be carried out, but it's the not knowing!! And also knowing that after tomorrow I may have to wait longer for any results, never been very good at waiting... 

One minute I am all positive and say it's just a cyst the next I am thinking the worst.... I keep checking in the hope that the lump has disappeared or that my breast has returned to it's normal shape, that the indentation would have gone away.... but nope it hasn't!! 
I have also had some really weird dreams about what's going to happen, and I'm sure the heat at the moment can't help but I can't get to sleep  

I have always had a bloody good imagination but on this occasion I wish I didn't...

Keep your fingers crossed for me all and I'll update about tomorrow as soon as I can. 

  • Hope everything goes ok tomorrow deb ️ I wish there was something I could say to help relieve your stress over this. I'm currently waiting for my appointment with the breast clinic,  Im not very good at waiting either, constantly over thinking and worrying!! Makes things 1000x worse!! how long did you have to wait for your appointment with the breast clinic? I was told it would be 2 weeks in normal conditions but with Covid it could take longer!!‍♀️ I have everything crossed for you and hope you get some answers ️ Xxx 

  • Really hope everything goes well for you Deb and everything crossed for you.  Just remind yourself of all the positive stories on here.

     

    Rhi - I was referred on Monday, the hospital phoned me today and my appointment is 1 September.  I'm terrible at waiting too and am finding it really worrying and stressful.  Much as I wouldn't wish anyone to be in the same position, it is reassuring to know that there are others out there.

     

    Take care both of you. x

  • Hi Rhi

     

    Thanks for your lovely reply I saw a GP last Monday, got the appointment letter last Thursday and appointment tomorrow Hopefully you won't have to wait to long

  • Hi Deb

     
    Hope everything goes well for you tomorrow . I was there last Friday and know exactly how you are feeling. I left work last Thursday in a right state. I had a ultrasound then examined and then discharged all within about 3 hours and thankfully didn't need a biopsy all ok. I was thinking allsorts but turned out to be a positive story. Take care x

  • Hi, I was in your position last Monday. On Tuesday I had tests done at the breast clinic, mammogram, ultrasound and double core biopsy. They also inserted a metal tag in the 'lump' which I was not expecting as I hadn't read anything about that in the 2 weeks I had to wait since my initial GP appointment. I have my results appointment tomorrow at 11 and, like you, I am dreading it. I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best, not much else I can do. The tests are nothing to be worried about, they might even tell you straight away that it's nothing bad. I was told after the initial examination that it was 'cause for concern'. Wishing you the best for tomorrow and the next week or so while you wait for the results. I'm new to the forum, wish I'd joined straight away. I think reading other people's experiences and worries helps an awful lot.

  • Hi Debs,

    I just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow. They are usually a friendly, helpful bunch at the clinics and, will do their best to put you at your ease. Even with Covid, most results seem to be coming back within 1-2 weeks.

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

    kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
