well i had my appointment today and i dont feel any better although they said it is probably nothing to worry about my app was at 10.30 and i wasnt seen until 12.45 then i had my ultra sound the lady doing it said she couldnt feel a lump and couldnt see anything on scan so i was really relieved then felt guilty for taking an app from someone who actually needed it i was told to get dressed and wait to spk to doctor the doctor called me in and told her ultra sound found nothing and the lay who did it couldnt feel a lump i was in full apology mode so the doctor checks me and says aha you have a lump right her on your left breast probably just fatty tissue but i will need a 2nd and 3rd opinion so she disappeared for 20 minutes then a male doc came in said your ultra sound was clear but apparently you do have a lump but dont worry probably just fatty tissue but i need to check so he prods my breasts again with the ah yes there it is we will need to stick a massive needle in it and wait over a week for the results but dont worry its probably nothing. Now i have a very sore breast and still no answers i know probably is good news but what if its not and another week of waiting will kill me i already cant sleep my eye has broke out in some kind of weird rash and i feel crap.im so sorry for moaning i know it sounds pathetic but i really needed to vent and i feel like my family think i should be fine about it now but i cant be

Hi Solusfox
Im sorry you didnt find out anything yesterday. At least you know you werent imagining things and were right to have the tests. You moan all you want, families dont really understand what its like so dont be too hard on them. My other half just says dont worry it will be ok so I dont really discuss things with him unless I have to. I think the thought of anything bad scares the life out of him.
Whens your next appointment? I hope it is soon.
Good luck let us know how you get on
