Hi, I know this is an old post and I hope you are well but I just wanted to ask about the cancer nurse in your experience. I have a suspicious lump after an urgent breast clinic visit, I then had a call from a cancer care nurse to book in a MRI too. She said not to panic it's her calling and they don't know what it is so are just doing every test to get the whole picture but it just doesn't seem right to me I've got a cancer care nurse calling me if they thought there was a chance of it being nothing? I feel like I'd preferred to be prepared than it being brushed off!! 

I'm so sorry you are riding this train, it's such a lonely and confusing experience at times. I'm doing okay, I've been stable for 12 months (I had spread to my spine but the chemo cleared it) but last scan shows new lung nodules so I'm back to having investigations again. I think the reason they get the breast care nurses involved straight away is that if it does turn out to be something serious then they both know you and your history and they are with you every step of the way. Sometimes they are wrong and further testing shows it's not cancer and that is really amazing, but when we are handed a ca diagnosis having a regular point of contact that will guide you through the next 5 or more years really is such a comfort. I wish you every ounce of luck on your journey wherever it takes you. If ever you want to chat or need any advice throughout any of it just shout xx
