Hi Michellelouise, Julia_mack and Tracey,

I am so sorry to hear that you are all waiting on results. This is always a stressfull time. Fear of the unknown is a horrible emotion to deal with and, for some strange reason, we always seem to think the worst. Fortunately, this seldom turns out to be the case. Out of every 8 people referred to the breast clinic only 1 will recieve a cancer diagnosis.

Please try and steer clear of Dr Google. He will have you dead and buried with a sore finger. Crying is a good release valve for all that pent up emotion, so don't worry about it. It becomes easier to deal with your situation once you know what you are dealing with, irrespective of the outcome. It normally only takes 1-2 weeks to get the results of the tests carried out at your first appointment.

Julia-mack. Four weeks seems like a long time to have to wait. Did your consultant say when you are likely to get them? If not, why not phone his/her secretary and see if they are back yet?

I have been in your position a few times, so know only too well just how scary it is. We are all here for you.  I am still here 11 years on and living a busy life, so don't give up hope.

Please let us know how you all get on. I hope that it'll be good news.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
