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.

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

I got something from the doctors for anxiety.  Makes you sleep. I relented and got Lorazepam 1mg up to 4 times a day. I find one is just fine. Consultant says he has no problem with me taking them. So obviously dont mess with the anaesthetic too much. Give your doc a call. 

Well chilled out at the mo watching cheesy christmas movies. I'm sure there are some classic ones that are a lot better lol.

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

Hi,

 I hope you don’t mind me joining your conversation! I’m awestruck by the support and positivity demonstrated on here-you are all amazing!

 I have a lump in right breast-can’t think how long I’ve been feeling it tbh but it suddenly occurred to me to see the GP! There’s puckering too, like my breast is trying to pull a face! 

 Have my appt on 23rd which seems ages away!! I’m a teacher and I don’t know whether to take the next day off! Do biopsies hurt the next day? Also if I get any lass than positive news will I be able to teach 26 x 9 year olds? 

Sorry my worries seem frivolous compared to some of you...love to you all!!xx

So sorry ladies, I've just read all the past messages properly ️ I was at work and just skimmed over them, I was so shocked at all the messages.

I am sorry you ladies are all suffering this terrible journey after reading your comments I almost feel as if I can't contribute to your comments as I couldn't possibly understand what your going through.  The first 3 weeks was enough! 

We are all strong women, we get back up when we're knocked down, nothing can keep us down! We don't give ourselves credit. You can do this!!

Xxxxxx

Better than I did.

Am now getting my head around let's get in get it done and get home.

Breaking it down into little boxes. 

Tuesday: nuclear medicine and home

Tuesday...sleep. if that's possible

Wednesday up early....30 min journey.....admission......surgery ....home. 

More positive than I was a week ago ...she says
