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 whatsnext, 

Anything that will relax you is definitely worth a try, keeping yourself busy is always good too, but you also need to try and relax. I'm starting to get anxious about my appointment now

Aw that sounds good advice but it must be so hard to make your mind focus on anything else! Friends is my go to programme watched all the episodes so many times just helps my mind relax x

The help is there Traciej. I just needed the courage to ask for it

How's everyone been this weekend?

I'm starting to feel worried now and slightly feel sick thinking about my appointment tomorrow

Hey Traciej

All be done in an hour...hopefully.  what times your appt?.

Let us know how you get on. 

I'm trying to get the dosage on these tablets right. Took 1.5yesterday and was knocked out for a couple of hours last evening. 

So only too one today.  Snuggled down on the sofa to watch reach for the sky.....saw the inside of my eyelids for 3 hours!!! Really knocked me off my perch. Gotta call the docs tomorrow. Took a chunk out of my life toe that's bloody sore. Ans the sciatica gas kicked in    it did I mention that?

Good luck for tomorrow.  Will be thinking about you

Good luck to all ladies with upcoming appointments and procedures

Ask your doc for something for anxiety. I did. I'm on Lorazepam x 1mg. Knock out pills.  Lost 2 hours on the sofa yesterday. Good luck tomorrow.
