Hi, 

I wonder if someone can offer some support.

I went to the GP due to lumpiness in one of my breasts and was told they were not too concerned, however, would send me to the breast clinic anyway for reassurance. I waited approx 4 weeks before my breast clinic appt and went last Friday. I had an ultrasound which showed a white round mark, a mammogram that did not pick up anything and then a biopsy. I have to go back on 26th Jan for my results. I was told it could be a small cancer and if it is I have caught it very early or it could be a radial scar. As you can imagine, I am very anxious and scared to get my results next week. Has anyone else been told it could be and then it wasn't? I am 35. 
 

Hello Jenny Trim...I'm really sorry to hear this & of course you must be really anxious so I will try to help you a little,

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2021...had mastectomy & all lymph nodes removed from left side on Oct 7th.....the op went really well & my surgeons, who are both female,assure me that all cancer is gone & now I am 1/2 way through my chemo treatments which will finish in March & following that I will have 3 weeks of radiotherapy....

My oncologists were fantastic & everything was explained in great detail & any questions I had were always treated with respect...I was never made to feel that I was asking silly questions....every aspect of my care & treatment has been brilliant...from the cancer nurses right up to the surgeons,

Hopefully you will get good results but if you don't Jenny I can only advise you to have someone with you at your appointments as some of the information will go over your head as you will be so anxious about everything,

my way of explaining to people who say,"I'm sorry to hear you have cancer" is

i had cancer but it's all gone & now I'm having treatment to prevent it reoccurring....the treatments themselves are nothing to worry about & yes it can leave you lethargic & tired some of the time .but you will cope with it in your own way......that's my way of dealing with it...I just keep telling myself that im one of the lucky ones so far & I look forward to the end of April when I get my life back..

I I will keep you in my thoughts

I am sorry you have had to go through all of that but it's good news that the cancer has gone and you're nearing the end of the treatment. Sounds like they were very prompt which is great. 
What stage was yours and how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Jenny T,

I am 64 & the cancer was STAGE 2  GRADE 2

I just read all your posts, you are so strong and have spoken only positive without having any self sympathy of everything you have gone through.. what a beautiful lady... i am 35 & have gone through scan, mammogram & biopsy last week, due for results today but only thing that had me anxious was being told to bring support with me, as if to say its not good news... 

take good care of yourself x

Hi Sarahlamy,

the waiting is always an anxious time....but hopefully it won't be all bad......when I had my 4 biopsies I got the results within the hour & I was on my own...this was my choice as I didn't want to alarm my family...then the following week I had the follow up appointment to discuss the stage,grade & treatment plan & I was told to bring my daughter along with me..

This does not necessarily mean really bad news but because you will be given so much information that it's hard to remember everything so yes I would recommend you bring someone with you for support.

I will be thinking about you & pray you get good news today....everyone reacts differently but I always say that you don't realise how strong you can be until being strong is your only choice..

be positive whatever the result & take each step as it comes
