I’ve not started a thread before but could do with an outlet as I’m driving myself a little mad waiting for results of a core biopsy based on a painless lump. Results appointment is Monday afternoon and for the most part I’m just trying to get on with stuff (and cooking lots to distract myself!) but im dreaming all sorts of weirdness and generally being a restless sleeper! Just wanted to share with anyone else waiting. How is everyone else distracting themselves? I thought I was being really positive but my fears must be finding their way out at night. Thoughts with everyone waiting for news x
Hi Charmom
I know exactly how you are feeling and so do most women on here…it seems that whatever you do to distract yourself from thinking it doesnt work!.. Im in exactly the same place as you at the moment… have surgery on tuesday… when I was waiting for results I started a diary… just to note down silly things… what I was feeling or thinking about… spring cleaned the house from top to bottom… did all those jobs that you dont see 
3 inches of dust on top of wardrobes etc…restless sleep is the norm… waking every hour etc… with all that cooking you will have a freezer full of food…playing the waiting game is not easy but the support on this site is amazing…even in the early hours of the morning…watch DVDs do all the things that you have been meaning to do please let us know how the results go… either way there is always someone here to chat and rant too xxx big hugs hun
I’m not sure there’s much you can do to stop the negative thoughts creeping in charmom especially dreams. I was the exact same to be honest. Sorry that poss doesn’t help. The waiting and just after being diagnosed was the worst time so far for me. My sister has also had b.c and she told me it doesn’t get worse than that and for me as yet it hasn’t really. I couldn’t even go to work… I tried but had a panic attack. Also I knew I’d not be able to perform my job properly as I wasn’t even able to go to the shops and come back with what I needed to. I couldn’t concentrate at all.
fingers crossed that you will receive good news and then can get on with the rest of yr life putting this blip behind you xxxx
Oh lordy I had a humdinger of the dream earlier in the week. I spent the following morning in tears.
I’m just waiting for the bloomin breast clinic appointment, but the dream has all but convinced me I already know the outcome of my appointment, and of course distraction is so very hard. Huge hugs to you xxxxx
Hi all thanks so much for your comments it’s really nice to read. I think I’m using all my consciousness to think positively which seems to be working well enough in the day but it must be escaping at night - Freud would have a field day! I’m fairly convinced the consultant would have said if he thought it looked nasty - he said it was odd looking but not to worry. I’m preparing myself to have it removed but not for malignancy. This might be the wrong thing to do but I have a 3 month old to look after and it’s just not an option to let it get to me too much. Sandra - good luck for your results too and let me know how it all goes. And im jealous of your cleaning ability - I’m not that way inclined this time around I was during pregnancy but sadly it’s not happening now! And Mandy thanks for your comments it does help to hear how other people experienced things. Funmum don’t listen to your dream its just your mind playing you up! Although I did once dream my old fish died and it indeed jumped out of its bowl the next day! thinking of u all ladies x
Let us know how you go on on Monday Hun xxxx
Well results tomorrow. Not sure how I feel. Think I just want it over and done with now. Hope everyone else is doing ok x
Hi charmom, don’t panic try ang get a good nights sleep. I know it is really difficult. I go into hospital for my SNB tomorrow and I am getting really nervous. Fingers crossed that tomorrow brings good news for you. Big hug xxxxx
Thanks Cheryl - hope all goes well tomorrow for you too x
Thanks Cheryl - hope all goes well tomorrow for you too x
Just had my appointment and very pleased to say the biopsy showed nothing to worry about. They say there did appear to be some infection, probably from breast feeding. Examined me and felt the lump had all but gone so I’ve been passed as clear thanks to everyone I’ve spoken to and thoughts with everyone waiting for results. Xx
Fabulous news now u can enjoy your life again x
Thanks mandymid. All the best x
Fantastic News Charmom , we are always pleased to get good news on this site. take good care of yourself and enjoy every minute. Have a great Christmas with all your family and friends. Love Tracy xxx
That is great news. I am so pleased for you xxxxxx 
Sorry to tag on her but for some reason I cannot start a new topic.
You will remember I was so worried about the SNLP procedure but thanks to the support and reassurance of you guys I was not a nervous wreck when my tIme came. I went in for the procedure on Mon and NO pain at all. I stayed in the hospital for 1 night as the second bit was not doneuntil after6pm, home yesterdayrecovering. So far so good now the agonising wait for results, next Tuesday. The consultant said he only took 1 node not sure if that is good or bad? Anyone know or had similar experience. Thoughts are with everyone waiting for results.xxxxxx
thanks cheryl and Tracy - feel a great sense of relief and enjoying sleeping much better! Cheryl I’m glad your procedure went well and thinking of you for your results, let us know how u get on xx
