Hi

I am doing ok thanks and still anxiously waiting. 

I've not heard anything since I went to the breast clinic on 5 November. If I have not heard anything by Wednesday then I might give them a call.

I wasn't really listening properly at the appointment and can't remember if they said I would get a letter or call

Keep us updated and everything crossed for good news for you!

Hi

So glad you have your appointment. Whatever the outcome it is so important that you will know where you stand and can start tackling what comes next. 

I've not heard anything yet. I may give them a call on Wednesday. 

Will be thinking of you and keep us updated.

Lots of love x 

Maybe ring your drs and see if a letter has been sent electronically to your medical record? In Southampton we have the ability to see these online for ourselves which is reassuring.

I will let you know how it goes.... It is so helpful to be able to come on here and speak to women in similar situations. I don't want to burder people in 'real life' if that makes sense! They are either worried too or say 'it'll be fine' which I don't find helpful at all!

Hi Ebby,

I'm glad you have an appointment date. I will thinking of you. I have read the hardest time is between the tests, biopsies etc and waiting until you have another appointment to get your results.

They were not too clear at the one stop clinic how I would be next contacted. I am not sure after the MDT on Wednesday when I will hear or how. I will keep you both posted through.

I heard the word 'Pre cancer' used a couple of times during my ultrasound and DCIS and on my last appointment they just said it might be cancer or it might not be so I don't feel I know either way but trying to prepare myself mentally it might be.

It is lovely talking to you both on here and knowing as horrible as it is you are going through this xx

Hi,

Thank you, it is so hard wondering if it's something or nothing. I have this huge lump on my right breast that they have said is fibrous tissue, but the 'areas of concern' are underneath this!

I emailed the consultant's secretary and she said that my appointment is the day of the MDT so that makes me worried that the Consultant not only booked me return in appointment herself, on the day of my first appointment at the clinc, but that everyone else has just been left hanging on waiting for an appointment. I think she did sense that I was really worried, so maybe she was just being kind, or maybe, its becuase she is worried about what the results might be. 

What is a DCIS? The doctor who did the ultrasound did go quite quiet when doing the biospsys and the consultant afterwards said she 'really wasn't happy' about one of the lumps.

Maybe have a look on your hospital website an find the Dr that you saw's secretary email and then you could ask them what's going on?

Hi,

It's so worrying as you go over and over what they said or they didn't say. One minute I think am I being overdramatic and over thinking or am I being realistic?

Its good you do have appointment that have to go through the waiting even longer knowing your MDT has taken place but at the same time it is very hard. 

After my ultrasound the Radiologist insisted I remember his name and said if you have any questions once you receive your results please get in touch with me. I am now thinking he has obviously see something that will have to be discussed whereas my friends think he was just being nice as I was quite anxious about it all. I just think well if I was benign or fine then what would be need to discuss?

DCIS is very early stage breast cancer than is likely to develop into cancer at a later stage but its confined to the duct for now (I think). I heard it mentioned then not mentioned again. 

I have a cyst in my rightbreast which they want to check is not pre-cancer as it is multi-septated (I don't know enough about it) so they left a metal marker there but they said after the Mammogram they were more concerned about my left breast which has asymmetry.

I go over everything I was told and feel worse when maybe I'm over thinking it all. They found fibrous tissue a few years ago during an ultrasound and that was ok.

Is your appointment face to face? Thinking of you xx

Thanks for explaining. The consultant didn't use any terminology in my appointment which I think would have made it easier to google things and try and work out what might be going on.

I am the same with the over thinking, it feels like if it's nothing I will have wasted all this energy on researching and worrying. 

My appointment on Wednesday is face to face. My husband is allowed to come into the waiting room, but I am not sure whether, if it's bad news he'll be able to come into the appointment room with me.

I have 2 metal clips left in for them to look at on the mammogram.
