Hello all,
I have been trawling the forum over the past few weeks and thought it time I join and look for some support and possibly some answers to the zillions of questions that are filling my head since I joined the cancer train.
I am a nurse, working in cancer services and with a background in oncology. I recently found a lump in my right breast. I have seen my GP and attended the breast clinic at my local hospital and I’ve got a telephone consultation next week.
In clinic I had a mammogram, uss, biopsies, fna of a lymph node, a clip inserted into my breast then a repeat mammogram.
I was also told there is a chance I may need a stereotactic biopsy
I can’t fully remember what they said after all of that. I’ve gone over it so many times in my head that it’s all jumbled up. I wasn’t in a great place.
I feel like I'm a rollercoaster where one minute I'm thinking it will all be ok and clear and the next minute feeeling like I will be getting a malignant diagnosis. My thoughts and feelings are all over the place and I have not got the strength to deal with it all. On top of this I have nearly a week to wait until any results - all of this time I can't really remember what they told me, and I don't know what it is that's making them so suspicious. Driving myself mad with worry and anxiety
