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.... I have no idea on these numbers either. But apparently 84 is high....very high. 

The toe..god bless it has still here. Saw the podiatrist....I have had a chilblain episode....... no I couldnt believe it either.  Anyway shes referred me to the same hospital I am under for the breast clinic.  Missed a call from them in way to see practice nurse after podiatrist. Get home and a raft if ansaphone messages landed on my mobile all from different hospital depots last Thursday...friday ..Saturday and Sunday @@@@

So tomorrow will  a trying to get hold of them all. Nit sure why my phone us not letting me answer " private numbers "

Doppler tomorrow, dressing change and another pin *** thursday. And ni doubt someone will clobber me for Friday!! I admire how brilliant they all are at pulling out the stops for me at the mo. But I could do with a day off........ oh and got to see the vein man too....apparently 

Hows you?

Oh bless you! It's never ending isn't it?

I'm fine, bruise is finally going on my boob, just fed up now with not seeing people cos of lockdown. It's strange, since my cancer scare I feel like I shouldn't complain about anything when there are people out there with real problems. I keep reminding myself how lucky I am!

Keep smiling! You'll get sorted soon, at least your getting answers and treatments for various other things now

Xxxxxx

girls im so sorry your all having such bad results at the moment. Hopefully things will start moving more quickly for you and hoping your treatments  and ops all go ahead soon! im still waiting to be seen. havent heard anything from the mp since i first spoke to him almost 2 weeks ago. I did manage to get hold of my PALS team though and the lady said she was going to try and chase things up. i am starting to worry now though. i have lost a lot of family members to cancer. my uncle was 42 when he died of lung cancer. my cousin was 11 having kidney cancer. 3 of my grandparents had lung cancer. 1 had brain cancer. its just so annoying that its almost been 9 months since i was referred 

Hello lovely,

I honestly think your sad plight is a case for local TV coverage it is just so dreadful you have been practically abandoned. Huge luck with an answer soon

Hi ladies

Thought I'd check in and see how your all doing 

Sending much love xxxxxx

Hi

Not been in a good place. Been to more appts than you can shake a stick at.  Foot clinic... docs....referred to diabetic clinic....referred to here there and everywhere.

Complete meltdown on Friday....... no word re cancer surgery.

Cant make plans for xmas....because I dint know what's happening next. Got 3 appts dec 2nd, be cutting it fine if I manage to get from 1 to 2.......hair looks like wurzel gummage... I feel like ***!!

Since starting diabetic meds never felt so bloody crap..... tired....no appetite..... getting up at night x 3 to pee. Flaming knackered. 

Oh...and my own mobile vampire to test my blood 3 times a day. My glucose has dropped from 18 last week to averaging 9....9.5 ish. 

They did say once it was stabilised then surgery would happen....... really? Is this stabilised? Cos I feel about as stable as a half rotted lettuce leaf....

Stat safe

Whatnext-I'm so sorry you're still going through such a hard time! I only had gestational diabetes and that was bad enough so what it must be like for you on top of everything else..well I just can't imagine!

i finally had my appointment today-mammogram, ultrasound then core biopsy. Consultant then told me its definitely breast cancer albeit hopefully a small one caught early. He said he should have it all wrapped up by christmas (not sure if he meant it as a pun!) as long as the biopsy result doesn't throw out any nasty surprises!

My boob is sore, I have a headache and I can't get over the shock and as many people say on here-telling people is horrible! 
Anyway I'm thinking of you Whatnext and really hope you get sorted soon!!! Xxxx

Hi ladies,

just discovered this thread and am so impressed by all your positivity and support, far more helpful than googling!!! It’s so good to have somewhere to come to chat with people who are going through exactly the same feelings/emotions 

I discovered quite a large lump on the upper part of my left breast, on my chest muscle i think - I was about 8 weeks pregnant at the time so just put it down to that. I went on to have a miscarriage a few weeks later and the lump is still there. I asked my gynaecologist on my last visit and he has referred me for a mammogram but didn’t really comment on whether he could feel it or not  :( I have my appointment on the 10th December which feels such a long wait and I am now stressing and thinking why I didn’t go earlier. We are currently living in France so the language barrier is difficult. 

Hi Yellow76,

 so sorry to hear about your miscarriage-that must have been really tough. 
 It is nerve-wracking waiting for your appointment but you have to remember that 9 times out of 10 these lumps are cysts or other benign pests! Also the appointments can be different for different people. You might get sent home straight after the mammogram and ultrasound if they can see its nothing sinister or you may have a biopsy. Strangely a friend of mine in Rennes is going through exactly the same as me and the French health care does seem very good.

No point telling you not to worry as thats natural but you are taking action which is the important thing.

Hope all goes well for you.

Much love xx

Thank you for your kind reply, I am trying not to worry and stay positive, my OH just thinks it is a bruise but I think it would have gone by now. I am just trying to keep busy.

The healthcare in France when I had my miscarriage was excellent but I just worry things will get lost in translation!! 

I hope everything goes well for your friend too.
