So sorry to hear of your diagnosis, I had a biopsy today on a 2cm lump and suspicious lymph node, I felt they were saying it was cancer infact I asked if it could be anything else and she said she couldn't say, I'm constantly bursting into tears and thinking the worst, how did you get through the wait? 

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that mine is in my lymph nodes too - mine is HR2 positive which apparently means it spreads faster.

I'm the same as you, fine one minute and balling the next. Just woken up and had a good cry- the feeling of guilt of what I'm about to put my family through has also just washed over me.

I have an appointment with my oncologist on Tuesday where I will find out more about treatment start date etc. hopefully. I just want to get started now!

Sending hugs xx

Thanks Sarah, so glad to hear your treatment is going well, it's reassuring to hear. I just want to get started now so I can start fighting this thing, hate that it's still growing inside of me! 

Xx

I'm sorry you're going through this. The wait is just awful,  I kept busy with family and making a plan b for life. I was due to open my own acupuncture clinic in a few weeks, so I made a decision about what I would do instead if I got the diagnosis. So it looks like I'll be starting a masters course next month! 

There's nothing I can say that will make the wait any easier - just know that you're not alone and we know exactly how you feel.

Sending you positive thoughts and virtual hugs. Let us know how you get on xx

Another week to wait as my results haven't come back from pathology for this MDT meet due to staff shortages (Coronavirus) so another week of trying to keep myself busy

Hi [@Lyns_]‍ 

Sorry. Only just seen this. Yup! The wait for results was probably the worst two weeks of my life to date. I'm not sure how I got through it to be totally honest. It was a definite blur. I hadn't told my sons at this point so I had to keep a very brave face on for them. I did tell close friends though and I spent a great deal of time crying to them - bless them they were great. It was definitely so much better once I knew exactly what I was dealing with and came away knowing what the treatment plan looked like. Plus it was all to be happening pretty soon It definitely does get easier and my anxiety became more manageable. I hope you are doing ok? When are your results due back?

Love Sarah xxxx

I'm so sorry to hear how things are going for you! I found a lump last Friday went to the gp yesterday and have my apppintment for a mammogram next Wednesday at the breast clinic. I'm a single mum of two kids and although I'm putting on a brave face the waiting is killing me, I've measured the lump size (I have tiny boobs) and mine is about 5 cm... I feel at ease knowing I've gotten the appointment but I know as soon as that appointment is over im going to be a mess waiting around to find out what's going on.

if you have any tips for my breast clinic appointment I'd be truly grateful if you could share them? How long did it take from then to get your results? 
 

I hope you have a speedy recovery and wish you all the luck in the world!

So sorry you are having to go through this, but try not to panic too much as most lumps end up being nothing. I know it is hard but take each day as it comes. The breast clinic appointment is not as bad as you are probably thinking it is. The mammogram is strange as you are trying to have a normal conversation with the radiographer whilst shes man handling your boobs to get them in the right position. My boob was sore at the time so it hurt a tiny bit..but nothing major. The ultrasound was painless and to be honest so were the biopsies. The only thing i felt was when they numbed the area and that wasnt that bad. The time waiting for your results is the worst bit of the whole process..i am still waiting for my CT results to see if the cancer i have has spread..and now Ive been told i now need a MRI..so more waiting..Just try and stay positive ( which is hard) keep busy and do not google anything no matter how tempted you are. Watch comedies and try and stay away from negativity. Good luck with your appointment and let me know how you get on. Sending lots of positive vibes and hugs xx

Cheers my mums had breast cancer but they found hers a few years back when she actually went for her first routine appointment so she's only ever known mammograms to be like that. I do feel more at ease just knowing I'm atleast being seen to as I couldn't sleep all weekend as I kept worrying they wouldn't refer me. But slept 12 hours last night! Haven't done that since I was a teenager lol.

Will they give me an idea of what they think it likely is at the breast clinic or will they likely just make me wait?
