Hi [@Moan1122]‍ 

I hate to say it but I smiled at your post, not in a horrible way, but it could have been me writing most of it.

I am 46, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer last year (Aug 2020)

I was Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over 10 years ago - before they were really understanding it and Doctors still were very unsure of it, and a few years later with ME, which they do link quite often...

Over the last few years I have had several blood tests and I have issues with my blood being all over the place, to WBC being up, platelet count being up, and various other things, I also suffer with Aneamia - so your count could be to do with Iron levels, I am also given the B12 injection and have had to take Vit D supplement for years, (this they link to fibro too) I now also suffer with Chronic Migraines for the last 6 years which again they like to link with Fibro, I think they just find it easier to put it all under one umbrella. SO I can understand your pain and fatigue and just general what now!!

I often think what more do they want to throw at me, I could carry on with ailments as it does feel never ending.

But to lumps.... My first lump in my right breast was a cyst, in 2018 it grew and was painful and they popped it for me and at the same time found a hard lump which I was not aware of and this was a fibroademona or however it's spelt. 

My cancer was found as an incidental finding in my left breast two years after my first mammogram, I was back in due to a lump I felt and the docs felt in my right but when I went nothing further was found in my right but they could tell a change from the first mammogram and this was biopsied. I never felt the lump in my left, but I did have cancer signs that I ignored like the rippling skin above where the cancer was found.

Our bodies are amazing but horrendous things! when something is wrong it is easy for our minds to start to worry, especially if like me you look at your blood test results, which is handy to be able to see but not knowing how relevant it is to any given situation is scary. 

Did you have H pylori? my friend had that... not fun if it was!

Hopefully you will only have to wait the two week referral time to be seen at the breast clinic, and I know nothing can be said to stop you worrying in the meantime, as I was the same and I'm sure many on here will attest to the same, the waiting is horrible and we end up doing so much of it when we are on this rollercoaster.

Take Care x

Awww thank you for the quick reply.

Yeah I do get fed up with everything being blamed on fibromyalgia but I know it can cawa millions symptoms anyway lol.

I've just been referred to long covid clinic too as I had pneumonia in January 2020 after a long two months of being ill with what we now know as covid symptoms (so they blame a lot on that too )

I've been breathless for months now but everything is just a waiting game isn't it?

Oh well, only time will tell x

You poor thing, having to cope with long Covid too. I live down in Devon and have been fortunate enough to not have caught it or known anyone that has...

Please come back and let us know how you get on at the clinic.....

Thank you.

It's just been one crazy year for everyone that's for sure lol.
