Hey [@xemx]‍ 

I am currently waiting for my breast clinic appointment (it's next week thurs).  I am in such a state.  My lump is like a large marble underneath my skin and is rock hard, I can't believe I have only just noticed it if I'm honest... I have already diagnosed myself and literally cannot cope :(  

What did your lump feel like? Is it moveable? Does it feel round/oval? Is it hard or soft?  Does it hurt? 

I have read loads about fibroadenomas and how common they are!  And how most need to be biopsied as they appear similar to BC lumps on U/S.   I can sit here and say all I want "don't worry and 80% of lumps are benign etc but I know that's not going to help as I cannot even take my own advise!!

 please let me know how you get on with your results, there are so many of us in this together and in limbo! x

Hi I was at the clinic yesterday, they took 5 biopsies & will get results next Friday.

Consultant has already told me it's cancer from looking at mammogram & scan, next weeks will be results & treatment plan

Hey [@Brie21]‍ 

so sorry to hear this!  How old are you may I ask?  Did you have a mammogram & an U/S or just the mammo?  What were your symptoms to prompt you to go to breast clinic?

[@dustcat]‍  glad you have a date!! hopefully I'll get mine soon.  Feel so sick.

Hi worried9211 I'm 49. I found a lump a few months back & stupidly ignored it! My nipple then started to invert a little & you could clearly see where the lump was.

Had mammogram & ultrasound, then biopsies once I was given the bad news. 

Hey [@Brie21]‍ 

well atleast you've been seen now and a treatment plan can be put in place.  Sending you hugs. There are many woman going through the same thing.... so don't feel alone. 

Thank you.

I'm staying positive  

Just to say I'm sorry that it wasn't better news for you but it is good to hear that you are staying positive. Hopefully things will move along nice and quickly for you now x

Hi Brie21

I just caught your thread on here. Just to say - even though the news wasn't good, definitely stay positive! 
 

I am 48 and was diagnosed with bc on 5th May. Since then I have had surgery (lumpectomy) to remove the lump and some surrounding tissue. It was all really straightforward. I had 3 lymph nodes removed too. They were found to be all clear. So .... I am now technically cancer free already! It's amazing how brilliant the treatment plans are. We are in very safe and knowledgeable hands. 
 

I have to have some additional treatments in order to prevent reoccurrence. I am awaiting to hear if I should have a course of chemo. I find out on 19th. I will definitely be having radiotherapy and be prescribed hormone suppressants (due to my cancer being hormone positive). 
 

Chemo won't be ideal. But it's just 4 rounds over 3 months. A blip is all. 
 

Stay positive. You will be just fine. Sending love Sarah xxx 

Thank you Sarah.

So glad your technically cancer free! Hope the rest of the treatment goes well for you. ️
