Hi,

I was in your shoes 2 weeks ago! When I went to clinic (last Wednesday) I had mammogram and ultrasound. Radiographer was not worried about the lump/ swelling that has sent me there but said he felt something else. So he decided to do a biopsy there and then. It was nowhere near as bad as I would have expected. Practically painless. He put in a tiny marker for future ref, took another mammogram to be certain it was in the right place and that was it. A bit sore and bruised after but totally manageable.

I got a call today from consultant to say it was benign and doesn't need any follow up. So there are positive stories- try not to worry too much! Fingers crossed for you. Waiting is hard. I have an MRI on 21st Oct on pancreas so scared stiff about that!- Another waiting game :(

I hope all works out well for you. Take care. x

Hi

Thank you for replying. You feel so alone. Only hubby and my sister know..had to tell someone. Trying not to think of how to tell the kids if it IS BC. You can see I'm galloping down the road of scenarios. Which is worse making mental lists just incase? Or not in the hope you wont have to? Moved things around in 2 bedrooms yesterday just to keep me busy. If it's a 3 week wait this will be the tidiest house in the countyFell apart half way through tea...no apparent reason..wasnt thinking about it at the time. 

Lost my dad in July...this really easnt needed on top of all that.

Hi sorry to jump on the post, I've been looking for a recent open post to interact with.

so about 5 years ago I had my nipple pierced and it began to grow out like it was going to split my nipple in 2 so took it out and thought no more....since jan this year I have been dieting like a mad woman and lost 3 stone. A few months ago the nipple I had pierced started to turn down and the area around sunk in. I just presumed it was down to weight  loss and a scarred nipple. However, Breast cancer awareness month came around and highlighted this is one of the symptoms. Therefore decided to make an appointment with my GP.

my appointment was Friday just gone, explained all the above and she examined me. She said she was concerned and my breast is lumpy and the change in my nipple.

ive been reffered in a 2 week refferal to the breast clinic. My letter say 4a 4b 4c 4d cancer suspected. 
she scared me as she said, 'I'm not saying it is cancer, but I'm not saying it isn't' she seemed really concerned and obviously I am. Even more now, I expected to walk off with some cream for my unhappy nipple but apparently not.

the waiting game is awful....any similar to me out there ️

Hi Jolamine,

Thank you so much for replying to me. I am sorry to hear you have suffered breast cancer but glad to hear your life is still very busy! :)

My Nan was diagnosed around 5 years ago,

when she was 78, and sadly her's was servere (excuse my lack in terminology) I was with her but I was not told grades etc just told it was really bad. . It did spread also and she had numerous operations and is now on medication. Thankfully she is still here and still battling on My Mum has been refered before now with cysts, so I am abit familiar with both types. 
 

I am hoping mine is just a cyst. Hope to hear that good news on wednesday! Xx

Hi RachyB87,

You are more than welcome to join this chat. 
 

I am sorry to hear you are awaiting a  diagnoses, I am too. I know how worrying it can be when we don't know what is going on or what may happen, but try your best not to worry! They are always so lovely and welcoming at these clinics and I remember how caring they were towards my Nan. 
 

I hope your results come back as  clear. 
 

I went to see my GP due to an open wound that formed from nowhere on my breast and was bleeding, sorry for the tmi. She then found 2 lumps - one on the outer side of my left breast and one in my armpit. She did say to me she was concerned as my symptoms weren't normal - so that was a shock to me. She did say she didn't know whether it could be cancer, due to some other symotoms too, or what could be going on... that's why she wanted me to be seem.

Thanks for the welcoming reply

I was very emotional on Friday, completely wrote myself off.....got stronger over the weekend but my mind wonders especially at night and 1st thing.

ive looked on google (which I know you shouldn't) however it could be 101 things.....I'm 32 non smoker. 
 

I just feel the waiting is the worst. I hope you come back clear, be nice to keep each other updated if you like? 
 

look after yourself x

Thanx Sally

Hi Rachy,

yes please keep me informed to how you get on. 

at first i wasn't too worried but then as you say some days i found myself worrying more when i thought about it, then i'd be ok when i was busy and then late st night whilst lying in bed i'd be overthinking! I will be glad for wednesday - to just know abit more hopefully. 
 

big hugs and warmest wishes your way! Xx

Keep me updated on Wednesday I'll be thinking of you. Keeping everything crossed for good news.

it will soon come round. You keep your chin up.

sending positive thoughts and vibes xx

Where abouts are you jolamine? Not everyone is waiting 2 weeks for results.  I has my biopsy last wednesday. Results tomorrow. 

Not being funny but you cant really tell someone what will happen to them or what to expect. 

This thread is to support each other. Not quote treatments or numbers or what it could be. 

Thanks

Hi ladies, 

Your all welcome and you will find we're all thinking the same things. Different stages and it seems we're all 'waiting' for either appointments or results. We're all here to offer support
