Hi Traciej

Sorry...had the weekend from hell. So full of new meds I rattle. And they're making me feel sick!@  fluxo somethingorother anti biotics x 4 ....plus a diabetic tab x2

Didnt sleep at all hardly lastnight....upset stomach...sore toe. Still awake at half two.  Up at half 3.......up again at 5 then again at half 6. I swear to god I feel as if I've been hit by a truck!!

Missed at least 3 private number calls today..couldnt hit the button on my phone.  I'm about as much use as a wet lettuce leaf at the mo. Really really tired but cant seem to drop off for five mins.

Cant remember whether I mentioned the podiatrist? Seeing her on Tuesday....blood tests weds. 

The bonkers thing is I felt fine before the meds....now I feel flipping awful. I've missed calls from my breast care counsellor too........ weekend from hell.....

No energy.... this cant be right.  Hows everybody else?

Thank you so much for sharing all of your stories! Im sorry to those who have been through the process and have got a cancer diagnosis, but as people have said, treatments for this are successful! 
 

I just wanted to share my story as I'm driving myself round the twist and don't really have anyone to talk to! I'm 27 and found a lump on my left boob. Referred to breast clinic under 2 week fast track. I was telling myself the whole time that it would just be a cyst, had an ultrasound and instead of being informed I had a cyst I was told I needed a core biopsy. Had 3 taken. I saw the consultant afterwards who told me they had found a 1cm mass, and that she couldn't tell me anymore than that until we had the results. Also whilst having my ultrasound the radiographer scanned my underarms as well, and the more I think back to that appointment the more I'm thinking she did that because she suspects cancer! I've got a phone call with a nurse on Thursday to discuss my appointment and again I'm thinking, do they do that for everyone? I know I'm only young but that doesn't mean cancer is out of the question, and whilst I know treatments for this are extremely successful it will affect my chances of having a family, which I'm probably finding the hardest to deal with. Would love to hear from people on the group who have had a clear result after a biopsy or if they haven't, how they're dealing with their diagnosis. 
 

love to all xx

Hi whatsnext, 

Oh for petes sake! Well you'll sleep tomorrow when you've had your anesthetic! I take it your having a general? Which, by the way, all the very best for tomorrow, will be thinking of you. Is it day surgery?

Sorry if I'm sounding nieve, I just don't know how long you'd be in for

Sending love and prayers xxxxxx

Hi laurenky, 

I had a lump in my left breast. Felt like a hard big lump just above my nipple. I had a mammagram and and ultrasound, the ultrasound scanned under my armpits too. He scanned everywhere on both breasts. This appears to be normal practice to me. I'm assuming he was checking everything so perhaps it doesn't mean he suspects cancer cells in the nodes, he's just being thorough. I also had 3 biopsys done as the lump had a thickening around the bottom edge which he hadn't seen before.  Thankfully results came back clear and was confirmed as a benign cyst.

I had an appointment to get the results but my consultant rang me instead. It may because of covid there going to ring you for your results?

Try not to worry to much, your in the best hands should it turn out to be sinister which I pray it's not 

Keep us updated sweet 

Best of luck xxxx

Thanks for replying! You've given me one less thing to not overthink about! Interesting that you had a core biopsy and it still came back as a cyst. I thought if it was a cyst they used the needle biopsy? Or is this what you had done? 
 

Mine is actually a hard lump just below the nipple on my left breast. Yes I've been told they will call me with my biopsy results if I do not need further treatment (covid) but if it's something that needs treating then I will need to come back to the clinic to discuss. I actually think this is so cruel and would rather everyone was called back although I understand why we need restrictions. 
 

But the phone call with the nurse was something completely different, I don't know if they are calling me just to double check that I took everything in from the initial consultation because I was a crying mess, or if this is just standard practise for my NHS trust. 
 

I will keep everyone updated. 
 

Thanks again TracieJ xxx
