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.

I actually phoned the breast clinic again on tuesday and was told i would just have to wait to get an appointment even though i have been waiting almost 9 months..

today as i was scrolling through facebook a welsh mp posted about hospital waiting times and if anyone was affected to message hin. i sent him an Email and he replied within 15 minutes. hes taking my case straight to the health minister! so i should hopefully hear something soon!

im so glad your results were ok tracie. and whatnext64 everyone deserves to have a f*** it day.... im having a f*** it week lol

Bethan98 this is absolutely shocking you've been left like this!! Have you told your GP as surely they can get in touch with the breast clinic on your behalf I'm so sorry your going through this and I really do hope they get you in ASAP and pray this is nothing more than cyst sending cuddles and positive energy your way ️

hi lisa. I have phoned the doctors but was just told i would need to phone the breast clinic. which i have done about 20 times over the last few months and got nowhere. hopefully now its going to the health minister i might actually get an appointment! 

I really hope so but please ring back your Gp and tell them again they have a duty of care to you also maybe speak to a nurse on here as they maybe able to help this is unacceptable and you must be going out of your mind!  Always here if you need a chat hun this is such a rollercoaster of emotions and I'm honestly thankful I've come on here as not told anyone apart from bf so at least I can speak to people going through the same and feel not alone in this anxious time xx

Hello lovely, I am off to see consultant about my "plan" this evening. Surgery is a definite, however I am awaiting an MRI result, lymph nodes biopsy (I had a micro bubble scan and biopsy last Thursday. I am absolutely terrified  I know it's a 5cm tumour grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma with lobular pattern. But what lies ahead I have no idea x 

Hi all so I went today to appointment and I was told I have two lumps plus a lymph they all look really bad apparently. The doctor basically said he is 99% sure it's cancer. I'm really scared ladies xxx

oh tasha i hope their wrong. have they said what other tests their going to do next?

I've had all my biopsy's and mammogram and all sorts. I'm honestly just I'm a bubble atm.

There having a meeting next Monday to discuss treatment plans then I will find out more xx

its good that they managed to do all that today for you. i was told that when i have my appointment i wouldnt have a mammogram because of my age. did they say when your biopsies will be back? hopefully things will move fast now and you can know more next week. im the type that needs to know exactly whats going on down to the smallest detail x

Hi gingergirl

Mines invasive ductal with lobular pattern. 30mm x 39mm.

It's the not knowing what lays ahead that's the scariest part of all this. 

My days just seem to be melding into each other. 

Stay strong, we were riding the storm together.

In the waiting room right now

Did they take samples of your lymphnodes when you had your biopsies I just wondered if that's normal or not. Xx

thank u xx

Not as far as I know. I'm due at the hospital Tuesday for an injection of some radioactive material into the boob that has the lump. . Then they take a sample of the lymph nodes during the op

#allinittogether xxx

How did you get on? 

#allinittogether xx

Thank u, it's strange cause during my ultrasound he found a irregular lymph node so he took biopsy of that and the other lumps. Let me know how u get on.

I feel like life is so unfair atm. Xxx

It certainly is....

I'm in bits!! Sitting at my kitchen table...balling my eyes out...watching the sun come up.

I know I have to do this....I'll die if I dont!!

But I cant see my children or my grandchildren before the OP. And I'm missing my dad.... so much. 

I'm trying so hard to  be positive, but its not working. I keep telling myself I'm lucky I found the lump and did something about it... but have I found it in time? Why didnt I notice it before, what if its spread? Am I over reacting? Am I looking at scenarios that dont exist?

Why is this happening to me? What did I ever do to deserve this? I'm so scared....

It's such a beautiful sunrise too.........

I know I've been up since 4:30 today but tbh barely slept... I'm still in shock/disbelief.

we will both get through this! I'm here when ever u need me. Even if it just to rant at. Trust me I get it. 
 

and I feel the same why us? It's not fair.

Oh bless you...4.30am I'm sure theres a song that says " the darkest hour is just before dawn"..... I have no trouble going to sleep...but if I wake up in the early hours? That's it. For a couple of mins you're fine and then Boom! It's there and that's sleep out of the window. 

This blasted toe is doing my head in too! I told them about it at my appt....just in case it gets infected..but the nurse said its badly bruised. I think it's broken tbh. Shouldnt be pain like this day after day. Had a pack of frozen peas on it last night, then went to bed in socks.  Woke me at 6am...... sat on the sofa now with it raised up on a bean bag. If it's no better tomorrow when I go for my covid swab then I'm going to nip in to A&E.

I swear it never rains without it pours 

So appreciate your reply and support. Thank you

Well I am joining the "in bits club" I have mastectomy booked for 25th November, CT scan to be booked before to see if it's spread. It's in my right armpit  lymph nodes. Husband is shaken he knows nothing about breast cancer and just assumes the worst when he hears lymph nodes !! I must say I think I'm going to find it's everywhere too. 14 day isolation from Wednesday. We Can Do This .... x 

I do think I'm gunna call me gp Monday and see if there's anything I do do to help me sleep I'm barely getting 4 hours a night lately. 
 

oh a broken toe absolutely kills I did that the beginning of the year and it hurt for about 5/6 days but ached for a few weeks. Just keep it up and keep it elevated to stop swelling. 

I also love the support on here, it is nice to be able to speak to someone who is going through the same feelings as urself 

xxx thank u
