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.

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 jolamine

Welcome to the thread 

#allinittogether xxx

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

So since my last comment on this thread I received my breast appointment for next wed. But also have had two pea sized lumps appear just under my arm pit/ have anyone else experienced this please xx

Hi Whatnext,

Thank you.

Hi Whatnext,

Waiting times vary throughout the country, particularly with the current Coronavirus pandemic. I agree that every cancer is specific to the individual, but many like to know the statistics and some can gather some solace in knowing that the chances of being diagnosed with cancer are only 1 in 8.

It is better to have accurate statistics than consulting Dr Google, where information is often out of date, poorly researched and aimed at the spectacular.

Ten and eleven years ago I was fortunate enough to get my results in under a week, but that was before Covid 19 appeared. If you read some of the posts on this forum, you will find that some people are currently waiting 4 weeks for test results.

I hope that your results tomorrow don't show up anything untoward.

Do please keep in touch. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

This particular thread isnt here to give out accurate information as none of us are medically qualified. 

This thread is supporting those who have joined it. Without giving anyone false hope.

And if youd read it. You would have seen that tomorrow, in my case,  is a formality before treatment starts. My first appt was last Wednesday. So results in less than a week. COVID hasnt affected the breast clinic here.  The team have carried on working right through.

Hi Whatnext,

My apologies. I had read all of your posts, but I misread your one with the results and thought that you had further tests. You are indeed fortunate that Covid has not affected your breast clinic. I only wish that the same could be said for all others!

I hope that you manage to finalise your treatment regime tomorrow. It's always good to get started.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx

Good luck whatsnext for today! Thinking of you. Anyone else having tests, appointments also think of you too

Hi Traciej

We are all systems go!! Surgery to remove the nasty little *** by lumpectomy Nov 9th. 

Feel sooooo much better now knowing how what why and when.

Will be bricking it on the day though.  

Multitude of possible treatments depending on post op test results. ie: lymph  nodes are taken during surgery then sent off for tests. 

Xxxxx

#allinittogether

That's great news whatsnext!! You now have a plan, glad you feel so much better! And so relieved I'm sure!

#allinittogether xxx

So glad you are getting your op so quickly and covid has not affected your treatment. You sound so much more positive now and I hope everything goes well and your recovery goes well. As you said they obviously knew what they saw but couldn't confirm it without a biopsy. I'm so sorry you are going through this but stay strong they aren't messing about and they will get you the best treatment for you xx

Hi Whatnext,

I am glad that you feel better now knowing what is going to be done. You will obviously have to wait until your post-op pathology results come back before treatment is decided upon. However, it is always good to get started and I'm glad to see that you don't have too long to wait.

I was bricking it when I had my lumpectomy and my bilateral mastectomy, but I found it a lot easier to get through than I expected - I'm sure that you will too.

Kind regards,
Jolamine xx

Thanks Sally
