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 again!

Thankyou so much for taking the time to reply! I’m in Wales-seems a long time till my appointment on 23rd but hoping things will move quickly whatever the outcome! Funny thing is the breast specialist I’m seeing is the same guy who sorted my breast abscess out 17 years ago! Lovely bloke!!

 Hope your test is negative Whatnext and everything goes well with your surgery!! Xxx

I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and particularly Wednesday my lovely

Yes it seems different areas have different time scales. I was seen within 3 weeks from first seeing my doctor to my appointment at the breast clinic and had all relevant tests there and then

Good luck to all the ladies with upcoming appointments and results 

You got this!!

Xxxxx

Thank you xxxxxx

I'm right with you too, we both share similar type of cancer and treatment. I hope you feel strong, we are tough and we can deal with this. Sending so much love  

Hi gingergirl..Traciej....welshieMW, and tashag 76..and gang.

Well....the best laid plans...as they say.......went *** up...( scuse the pun) at 12 30 today.

Got a phone call from the breast clinic...ALL surgery now cancelled due to the increase in covid cases. 

So we wait..... see whatsnext as they say. 

Silver lining? Get this bloody toe sorted out. Ringing the surgery in the morning as its still no better. 

Sat with it on a pkt of frozen peas.  Its purple!! And painful.  I'm sure it's broken.we shall see.

WHAT?! You are kidding me?! Oh hun, that's terrible, how can they keep you waiting? I thought these operations were still going ahead. It's so not fair, you and your family must be frantic. Have they any idea when your likely to be rescheduled?

Yes at least get your toe sorted, that doesn't sound like it's going to heal by itself. Focus on that for now if you can

Huge hugs xxxxxx

I kid you not

If its going to go wrong...then I'm in there somewhere.  ****** off doesnt come close. Had my mindset in the right place.  Now I have no idea where I am....back to being a blubbering mess . 

Thanks to the inconsiderate ******! Who carried on regardless. 

Its gonna have to be the A TEAM.....Mr T. Knock me out before I get to the hospital then wake me up after.

I've had it now....cant work my confidence back up. It's just hit rock bottom

Oh my dear lord how absolutely awful, what a blooming roller coaster and when you feel so ready to wave the bloody thing goodbye. I am so so sorry for you I do hope they come up with a date soon. Sending you love and hope and strength. Presently awaiting date for CT scan before my scheduled mastectomy on 25th November x x x x

Oh hun I'm so sorry. You try and keep your spirits up, easy for me to say, I know

Praying for you to get another date real soon. Don't they realise what this does to people??
