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.

You WILL get through this whatsnext, you've made it this far. It's true some people sail through life and others seem to be traipsing through a minefield. I can tell your not a defeatist, pull your big girl pants up, wipe your tears (there will be more, and that's fine, you need to release them) and focus on the hear and now. You can't change anything right now, the wheels are in motion. It may seem like an eternity but it really isn't that far away (11th)  you got this!!

Always here for you

I called hospital today 3 times and managed to get an ultra sound for Friday. So feeling a bit more relaxed atm. (Till Friday when I'll be bricking it) I just hope if it all looks bad I won't have to wait again to get further tests done.

Good morning lady's I've come on here for support and be able to talk to you all as I can see by all your post that you are all supporting and helping each other through all situations and I think you are all amazing and strong so firstly thank you for all sharing and being here! ️ I don't even know where to start so I'll just jump in I've noticed under my right breast where I originally had a cyst that could not be removed (the needle could not pierce it 2 people tried) probably around 5 years ago it was a small ball like pea size cyst, over the past few months I've not been able to wear bras and been wearing comfort sport like ones and put it of as been so busy (sadly I think most of us women put ourselves and health last) I moved in September and been decorating plus going through a lot since last year as my middle child is severely mentally disabled and had to move into full time residential. So my mind and heart have been elsewhere if I'm honest. Anyway 2 nights ago Monday night I lay in bed and my right breast was so tender and sore I started to feel and where the cyst once was there's a big thickened type lump it's not smooth and feels like it's going into my rib bone it hurts so much plus my breast in that spot over it does. I've looked in the mirror with my arms raised and I was so shocked to see my breast indints in that are with a few dimples in the skin. I rang my drs Tuesday morning and they had no appointments so she said to ring 111 which I did and he referred me to get in my drs so they got me in yesterday and the dr examined me and she felt it straight away with me sat up not lay down and if I'm honest when I saw her face when I did the arm raise I could see she looked concerned she told me she'd do a urgent referral and to await a call to confirm my appointment she also got the nurse to do bloods which they never did in the past (I've been twice since I was 28) I suppose I'm on here just to be able to talk as I have only told my boyfriend as don't want anyone especially my 20 year old daughter to have the worry for the next 2 weeks but feel I need to talk to someone about how I'm feeling as if I'm deeply honest I think it is breast cancer and I know I shouldn't of but putting in my symptoms it could be inflammation breast cancer I don't even know how to feel I'm almost numb not like the other times of feeling worry I think I'm in shock. I'm so sorry for such long post just need to get it all out and I'm hoping I can get some support and strength from you strong inspirational women. Massive love and positivity to each and everyone of you! ️

Morning tash, oh I'm glad you've managed to bring your appointment forward, it's amazing what perseverance can do!  Better than 2 weeks! Fingers crossed you get some definitive answers tomorrow eh

Hi Lisa, 

Your very welcome, anytime you want to just vent, cry, winge or offer advice or support yourself, your most welcome. It lovely when we got family offering support but sometimes you don't want to burden them with your worries and fears as they're going through the same themselves. 

Your right, women are worse for looking after ourselves. Always putting others first and we never take our own advice either! Maybe we should once in a while!

Keep us updated xxxx

Thank you traciej for welcoming me Your right about not wanting to burden others I think it's also not wanting to make it not feel real too! ️ Next few weeks are going to drag as I'm sure you and everyone else knows and with the new lockdown today it's sort of more worrying to not know if I can take my boyfriend with me to the appointment for support, may I ask did you go alone or did you have someone with you also good luck for results tomorrow ️Xxxx

I went alone but I wanted it that way. Besides I'm on my own, I got the kids but didn't want them with me. The girls don't know, not going to tell them now, my son knew but he was ar work. They did ask me if I had someone with me though. I'm sure they'd allow him, he's there to support you.

My consultant said he'd ring me if the results came back today. He noted when I finished work so hopefully he will ring, if not, I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow to get them xxxx

Thank you and I can understand why you'd want to go alone that's still something I'm debating with myself I'd probably be stronger alone as he's so supportive and if it's not the news I want to receive I might just break down so still undecided but we will see when I find out if it's still allowed with these new rules. I won't be telling anyone else unless I have to after the appointment. I really hope you get your call today so your not waiting even longer sending you a big cuddle and lots of positive energy ️please do let us know the outcome when your ready to xxxx
