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.

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.

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 

Hello, I'm glad u have a game plan started now. We are strong women and all of us can beat this. Is very scared and Daunting but we have a great nhs. 
 

did u have it mri after all it other test. I was told yesterday I need one during my ultrasound. I didn't ask question cause was heartbroken with the fact my consultant was 99% sure it was cancer. 
 

do I mind me asking what the mri is for and how was it's. what was the results. Also I had 2 worrying looking lymph nodes  found during my ultra sound which he took biopsy's of.  Xxxx

Hello lovely I had mammogram, ultra sound and biopsies on day one and consultant said she was sure it was cancer but very treatable and early stages. She then sent me for MRI to see if it was in my other breast and also to see the placing of the said tumour, mine is a lumpy 5cm, I also had lymph node biopsy a day or so after. Last night I was told it is in my lymph nodes whereas the first ultra sound has them clear. This was after chemical was put in as part of the biopsy. During all this I have not felt any pain. However I was about to have a hip replacement just before discovering my lump and that has been put on a massive hold. The hip is killing me !!! 
 

good luck, massive love and girls "we can do this"

Is that why I've had to have a mastectomy because it is in ur lymph nodes. My doctor is pretty sure mine is by what he was from ultra. 
 

fo u have to stay in hosp when u have it done. Cxx

Gingergirl.......

Oh God love ya...... I am gutted to read this.  Please try and be positive. I know I'm one to talk. But a full scan doesnt necessarily mean the worst. They could be double checking just to make sure its only got as far as the lymph nodes

Yes you can do this. We are all here for you.and hubby.

Sending positive vibes, love and hugs
