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 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

#allinittogether xxxx

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?? 

Xxxxxxxx

Best wishes to you ginger girl, fingers crossed yours goes ahead as scheduled

Xxxxxxx

Has a government dept EVER thought about people?

To them you're a number on a spread sheet.

Had a lovely call from one of the breast care nurses this morning.

Made me feel better. So I sit tight...watch old B&W movies.  Might have to sink the Bismarck again...... or bounce the odd bomb across a dam wall. 

My nurse says chill....so for once in my life I'm going to do as I'm told.

Thanx Traciej

I suppose their hands are tied.

The nurses are amazing and do a fantastic job. I'm glad she's managed to calm you somewhat and brought you onto a more even keel. 

Get those films on, put feet up and chill you so deserve it. 

Think of it this way...... Your fight will still be there tomorrow, there is nothing you can do about it today so forget about it for the rest of the day and relax. You can't spend every waking hour worrying, stressing and panicking otherwise your mental health will suffer too. this is what I say to myself everytime I find myself facing problems it helps me, maybe it will for you

Always here xxxxx

Oh Whatnext I’ve only just seen your post...that’s just devestating for you! I was told by GP ‘don’t listen to social media -they have been continuing to treat people!’ Surely they can keep areas of the hospital seperate but I suppose realistically if they have staff off isolating etc then logistically must be difficult! 

 It sounds like you’ve retained your sense of humour anyway and being positive has to be the best way...and also to swear and scream occasionally!! 

 Talking Pictures is a good TV station for the old films!!!

 Heaps of love xxxxxx

Thanx Traciej

The calm voice in the storm.

Hi I just want to say good luck. I have been following the discussion and will be thinking of you. 

Bless your heart. Just need a new date now

Thank you.

#allinittogether xx

Morning lovely, 

I have a my ore op assessment this afternoon and I will ask them what chances of my op being cancelled because I will stop off for more Gin on my way home if it's likely to happen. I am still Waiting for CT scan before op to see if my cancer has spread. I still swing from disbelief and despair to **** this I'm going to thrash the life out of this intruder. 
 

Thinking of you and feel your pain - just drive them crazy with asking when  xxx

Evening all

Hows everyone doing? Well spent the last two days not chilling. Got involved with  ASDA needing a kick up.the proverbial . Thats currently on a back burner awaiting a formal reply.

So...... this blasted toe hasnt got any better. Pootled off to see the practice nurse this afternoon. She had a look..Dr had a look.  Dressing on it and prescription for antibiotics.... while you're here we'll just check for Diabetes......... yep appears I have that too....another prescription and two appts next week for doplar and glucose levels. Whoever is writing my script? Dump the voodoo dolls for gods sake!!! Toe gets worse...A&E. 

Oh did I mention surgery rescheduled? On top of pills and potions I'm due in on Monday. Hopefully. 

I swear you couldnt make this up

#alllinittogether xxxx

Hey lovely was wondering how you were doing. I had ore op assessment yesterday. However big shock today - my husband's bladder cancer has returned.  ! Again you couldn't make it up! 

Oh no.... I'm so sorry to read that. Not what you needed at all.  Keep us up to speed. All here for you both.

Hi girls, was just checking in on you all. My god! You both really are having a truly awful time! As if cancer or the fear of, isn't bad enough you've got other shut to deal with! I'm hating life at the minute. I know that's terribly selfish of me, I'm not ill but life just seems so unfair to everyone atm

Love to both xxxx
