Anxious

Anxious

Anxious I can’t come out of this website today - the whole thing is giving me such a boost. Like others - I am awaiting biopsy results - taken last Wednesday following a call-back from routine screening.

From the x-ray, my lump looked about 2cm and quite solid. I didn’t look at the scan at all - was in a state of shock.

Have had a bit of pain in my left boob for a while and thought it was down to change (I am 50), couldn’t feel any lumps. However, noticed a few weeks ago, that my boob was slightly indented when I lent forward to pick up shampoo in shower - so wasn’t really shocked to get called back.

Am trying to get on with things as normal but how hard it is. So reassuring to read all your stories and experiences - you are all so positive and I know I have to adopt the same outlook.

Thanks to you all…

Hi Ross the worry is absoloutley normal and understandable in our world, and any amount of people saying “don’t worry”, just dosen’t work. So I would say worry under control! -and by that I mean try not to get too far ahead of the game.When will you get to know your results?

If the results turn out not to be what you hope for, try not to panic -you were a call back , so if you do have anything unwelcome there-it is likely to be early and very treatable. You will also get lots of understanding and help on here if you would like it.
The waiting is horrible, and no easy way round it -keep busy and keep us posted.

can only agree with what cherry has already said.You will worry-its normal! Try to keep occupied so less time to sit and think about things.Treat yourself to a big cream cake or bar choccie-family size always works for me! Let us know how you are doing-someone is always lurking!

ps It will be 3 yrs on 1st April since found my lump-got thru it all so hang in there girl

I can’t eat when I’m like this, all worried. Luckily my body is just wanting fruit smoothies and things like that, otheriwse I’d have to worry about my weight too- worried like that seem so silly now eh!!. Normally Im the first to tuck into a bar of chocolate!!

Thanks I can’t tell you how good it is to hear from people in the same boat. ‘Our World’ is such a great description.

I am already feeling so much better than the day that the biopsies were taken. With all the messages and experiences on this website, I can see positive things, not just a heap of negatives.

Many thanks for your support Cherry.

My results are on Thursday.

Thanks Sharon It is great to hear from someone who went through this years ago. Honestly, I had planned my funeral on Wednesday when the biopsies were taken. Now I am feeling I can cope with what is around the corner - simply from the experiences from this website.

Again thanks Sharon.
