Thanks Wendywoo73 

I sway between thinking it's hormonal (I'm 44 with an expiring mirena coil) and thinking the worst to the point where I can't breathe 

Glad you have support again now, my husband has been surprisingly amazing even getting up to home school our 10 year old after a few hours sleep (night shift) he has also rearranged his whole day tomorrow so he can wait in the hospital car park for me. 
 

What time is your appointment? Mine is 9:30 so I'm pleased we can just drop the boy at school (both key workers when I'm not irrational) and go 

I'll be thinking of you on Friday xx

Will be thinking of you too really do hope you have positive news my appointment is 11am on Friday. 
I am 47 so yes I think your right most likely to be hormonal. They do say 80% of lumps are fine . Really feel for everyone on this chat it's so bloody scary.

im a key worker too and to be honest I'm glad I've got stuff to keep my mind off it.

my grown up son bless him is going to wait for me in car park didn't really want to put it on him but he is 27 and knew something. Wasn't right so I told him and he has insisted on taking me x

How does anyone sleep the night before an appointment ?

Sarah13 Thinking of Hope you are get positive news and you can sleep well tonight x

Hope everything goes ok for you today [@Sarah13]‍  and that you don't have to wait too long for results. Still waiting on my appointment 

Hey lovely ladies, I went through this a few weeks ago and my fear was exactly the same.... The appointment is like a whirlwind and then during my ultrasound they said there was a mass and needed to take biopsies which completely threw me and I was a mess.  I then had to wait 10 days for my results which was awful and you are irrational.... Unfortunately for me it is breast cancer and is in the lymph node, you are then thrown into another whirlwind of an mri and ct to see if its spread and I felt so sick waiting for the results but thankfully it hasnt spread. I saw the oncologist on Monday and they want to start chemo... So much information is thrown at you and you feel they aren't talking about you but they were also very positive about the success rates. Its a journey I didn't want to ever be on but I'm on it and I think support is the biggest help. I'm 42 and have a 6 year old. I hope for both of you that it turns out not to be breast cancer but if it is you are not on this journey alone xx

Hi all, 
 

Thank you for thinking of me today. Thankfully it's good news  
Saw a lovely consultant who asked some questions family history etc then examined me. Found an area of thickening so off I went for a mammogram and an U/S then back to see the consultant. All is good they had a previous mammogram to compare with and there have been no changes. Nothing showed on U/S so it's been put down to hormonal age related changes. Was told to come home and have a good feel of my breasts as this is their new normal. 
 

In and out within 2 hours I'm so relieved. 
 

Hope you other wonderful ladies also get good news. 
 

Sarah

What a relief for you [@Sarah13]‍  I'm pleased for you. [@Family79]‍  you are the same age as me and I have a 13 year old with SEN and a 7 year old, if I do have cancer telling them is my biggest immediate worry
