Hi Chrissy,
I was just thinking about you. I hope you’re coping with the wait. I swear to you, the waiting is the worst bit. Whatever happens next, I promise, once you know what you’re dealing with, it’s a relief just knowing. Even if the news isn’t the best, knowing gives you back some sense of control.
Hope you’re ok. Love Mel. xx
hi Mel,
Its good to hear from you, Im having my worst day yet. Im in such a state waiting for the results, I knew it was going to be hard but its actually making me ill. My anxiety is so bad that Im starting to have panic attacks, Ive been in bed this afternoon because I was so tired after another night of no sleep. Ive also been getting some pain in my left breast the last couple of days so thats making me panic even more. I just know its going to be bad news and Im the last person who would be able to deal with that. I spoke to someone today who I havent been in touch with for ages and she said that she would never have a mammogram, thought I was the only one who had been stupid and avoided them up til now. I just dont know how Im going to get through the rest of the wait and, if its a call back, well I just dont know :smileysad:

Hi Chrissy,
Just thinking about you. Hope you’re ok. Not long to wait now…
I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I have swelling and pain below the mastectomy scar. I’m starting to get nervous, especially as I have to go on my own… I just hope it’s fluid and nothing on the bones…
Take care, love Mel. xxx
hi Mel, Im sorry that youre having problems and that you dont have anyone to go with you tomorrow. I will be thinking of you, please let me know how you get on.
Still waiting for results :smileysad:

Hi Chrissy,
hope you’re keeping it together so far… not long to wait now, so try and keep calm as the appointment gets closer.
I went back today… I was expecting the consultant to send me for an ultrasound, them tell me it was just fluid and for it to be drained or something. Unfortunately, he didn’t do that. He took three core biopsies from the site, so now I’m a bit more concerned. I have to wait until 21st for the results, so back on that awful rocking horse!! C’est la vie…
Wishing you love and hugs, Mel. xx
hi Mel,
Im so sorry that you had to have the biopsies taken and now have to wait for results. Were they able to give you any indea at all of what they thought? Please send me a message if you want to chat.
I dont have an appointment, was just told that I would receive a letter with the results within 2 weeks and that is up on Friday so every day is hell waiting for the postman to come.
Take care Mel

hi Mel,
I know, its stupid telling people not to worry, dont think they realise what its actually like.
As far as getting my results by post, that is normal for routine mammograms. I think Ive confused things by getting myself in such a state when I havent even been referred to breast clinic yet. Im the one who has convinced myself that something will show up and I still truly believe that it will. Ive definitely been wishing that I hadnt had it done as its made me worry even more than I thought it would.

Hi Chrissy
I didn’t know it was the norm to get your results by post after a routine mammogram. I know it’s really difficult but try not to think the worst, especially as you don’t have any notable signs. I know you’re associating everything at the mo with BC because your mind is playing games with you. But try and remember that your anxiety is causing these things rather than any cancer.
I’m sure you’re going to be ok. xx
Hi Chrissy,
Any news yet?

hi Mel,
Well its been a very stressful couple of days. I couldnt wait any longer so phoned them yesterday and the girl told me there was nothing on the screen but the results would be in by 3.30 so to phone back then. I phoned back and spoke to a man who said well there is something on the screen but Im not allowed to tell you what it says and your pictures are being looked at by the second reader. He then told me to phone back this morning. After a sleepless night I phoned this morning and he said it was all clear and I would be called again in 3 years. The poor bloke must have thought I was mad because I asked him if he was sure and he said yes and then I got him to read out my address to double check and then thanked him profusely. Obviously I am over the moon and the relief has been overwhelming. Its weird though because I thought that if I got the all clear I would just sleep and sleep from exhaustion and the stress Ive been under but the oppopsite has happened and I feel so agitated and restless, I guess I got myself into such a state over the last few weeks that now I need to come back down to reality. I certainly am one lucky lady and I realise just how lucky I am after reading posts on this forum.

Hi Chrissy,
I’m thrilled for you! Yes, you got yourself so screwed up about the whole thing, I guess it’ll take a while to get back to normal. But, at least you know you can.
Best of luck for the future. Much love, Mel xxx
Thank you Jenji xxx
Just reading back through and wondered how you were getting on x
Sorry just realised I was on page 2 of 3. Glad to hear you are all clear…that’s brill and now you know what to expect your next one will be a cake walk. Take care x x
Thank you Dmcf, I really appreciate your kind words. Hopefully youre right and next time will be a bit more manageable.
