Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to share my experience and thought and feelings whilst waiting my results. What gives me comfort is seeing so many people in the same position and knowing that there are so many positive stories and outcomes whatever the result.
I'm not going to lie, I do feel sacred. I am 35 and I have a lump under my left arm and went into hospital yesterday to what I though would be just to double check it was just an inflamed lymph node, 3 hours later I had a physical examination, ultrasound, biopsy and mammogram. It all happened in a bit of whirlwind and it completely knocked the wind out of my sails! I have three areas of concern two lymph nodes, one abnormally large and one a bit bigger than normal and a small area in my breast that they weren't sure was anything but they have tested anyway.
Unfortunately the radiographer was giving me too much information and saying the largest lymph node looked very suspicious, which has made me worry. I did remark that the lump had actually decreased in size to which he remarked cancers can lose fluid. I was by myself and I felt like I had been diagnosed before I actually have been. Has anyone else ad the experience of a radiographer causing unnecessary worry and then it all turned out to be ok?
The lead consultant said they wouldn't know the result until the biopsy came back so here I am now waiting!
