Hi,
I found a lump after feeling pain almost two weeks ago and have another week until my breast clinic appointment. It has been such a worrying time and I fear the worst, as we all do! The next week will continue to be scary and I’m almost looking forward to the tests, to get some answers.
My question is, for those of you who already have a diagnosis, did things get emotionally easier once you had your results and knew what you were dealing with and where you stand? What were your experiences?
I think it’ll help me to think that, whatever the outcome, I will feel better able to cope.
the wait is the worst. I almost cancelled my appt because I was so scared this morning but glad I didn’t. The good news I got did take a few hours to sink in but I feel I’ve got my life back to normal now.
That’s wonderful news jinty. What a relief.

I’m waiting for next Wednesday too cs66. And then results will be even longer. Hang in there, hopefully whatever happens you’ll get to enjoy your holiday. When do you go? X
Good luck on Wednesday cs66. Your holiday sounds amazing. Please let me know how you get on . X
I’m also waiting at the moment. I have a mammogram, ultrasound and possibly biopsy booked in for Wednesday and then the biopsy results would be from the following Thursday onwards. My husband and I are meant to be going to Egypt for a week next Saturday, however I feel so low and anxious at the moment that I’m not sure I want to go. The breast nurse said it wouldn’t be a problem, however I know it would be on my mind the whole time and I wouldn’t feel able to relax. Maybe if the scans go okay on Wednesday and indicate a low likelihood of cancer, however I can’t help but fear the worst.

Hi Sarah, the waiting is awful isnt it. I keep feeling frustrated with work and losing my patience with the kids, just because I’m feeling so worried and stressed inside. Not much longer now.
I have everything crossed that you get the all clear tomorrow and can go away to Egypt with a huge sense of relief. Do you go away before the biopsy result date?

How did you all get on? I have my appointment at the breast clinic on Wednesday and am desperately hoping that the scan is clear (even if it will mean I have no idea what is causing the pain). It’s very scary.
Can I ask how you managed post appointment? I’m going to the breast clinic for my scan on Wednesday and am beyond anxious.
Hi Cordy,
I was lucky and my pain had subsided a lot by the time of my appointment and the lump had reduced. I had several mammograms (they did extra to check calcification) and an ultrasound so they were still very cautious which is good. It turns out I have several small cysts in the left breast and one of them had grown and then reduced in size again. So I got the all clear. Huge relief.
Best of luck today. Let me know how it goes. Xxx
Sarah and Cs66, how did you get on? Have been thinking about you. Paula x
