Hi Mumma and Syl,

I endorse Benedict's experience. I Have has 2 bouts of breast cancer and a number of false alarms in the past 11 years. On all occasions I had an anaesthetic and an ultrasound guided biopsy, which I hardly felt at all.

You normally have to wait 1-2 weeks to get the results of a biopsy and it can leave the breast a little tender for a while afterwards.

I hope that all turns out well.

Please let us know how you both get on and, remember that we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thanks for your reply @jolamine. Will pop back Wednesday and let you know x

Hi @jolamine, 

Just popping on to update you following my biopsy results appointment today. 

It turns out it was just a fibroadenoma. Obviously very relieved. 

Just wanted to message you to say thank you for all your support, it has been so valuable to me. I really do appreciate it. I really wish you all the best for your future and thank you for the kindness you have shown on here, to me and many others xxx

Hi Syl,

Thank you, honestly from the bottom of my heart thank you. I've seen you comment on so many members posts and you're always so reassuring and thoughtful. xx

Hi Syl,

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I reply to posts because I still remember just how scared I was 11 years ago and, I got some great support from others on this forum.

Its so lovely to have spoken to people who know exactly how you feel xx

That's fantastic news I am glad you have finally got answers and now you can feel you can move on from worry. :) xx

I should get my results tomorrow, I rang up the Endoscopy Unit this morning the secretary said she will get my letter signed by the consultant to pass onto my GP. Sounds like they want a follow up so I am abit anxious. 

Jem 

Thank you,

All the best for your results tomorrow. Hopefully the follow up is just routine. Let us know how you get on xx

Hi Jem,

Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

How was your appointment today? x

How was your appointment today? x

Hi, 

I am feeling much better, I rang the GP surgery again and they were going to post the letter! Which would take another 2 weeks to arrive! and its already been 6 weeks of waiting. Good news is its nothing sinister and it's what they suspected (IBD, maybe Chron's) not sure yet as they might be doing a camera down the throat which I am terrified about. The biopsies reported Acute Terminal Ilietus, I am awaiting a follow up appointment now, sorry if I've been somewhat melodramatic and I hope I havnt insulted anyone who is going through a Cancer Diagnosis. I have really appreciated all of your support and I wish everyone all the best with their treatments.

I will be still about on the forum to help ease others about procedures that I have experienced myself. Helping others helps me.

I am really unfamiliar with this diagnosis but this is the wrong forum to discuss it.

Thank you, 

Jem xx

I'm so pleased for you that it's not sinister. It sounds like you have a long way to go still to get a confirmed diagnosis and I wish you all the best xx

Hi Jem,

I am delighted to hear that no cancer was found and, I am sure that you must feel mightily relieved about this, You might find it helpful to write down some questions for your GP, so that you get further clarification about your diagnosis.

I am so glad to hear that you are going to stay on the forum to help others with the benefit of your experience.

I sincerely hope that your GP can shed more light on your condition and, that something can be done to help you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
