Hi everyone,
Just a few words to introduce myself…my name is Lisa, I’m 30 and Mum to three lovely little boys aged 4,2 and 4 months old. I live in Nottinghamshire with my long suffering partner, Jeff.
After having my youngest in January 2008, I noticed that one of my nipples was behaving a little strangely but took it to be something that would iron itself out over time. At one point, it did seem to be getting better so I put it to the back of my mind, however in recent weeks, I noticed that it was definitely going further and further inwards - I have never suffered with inverted nipples previously. So I made an appointment to see my GP, who is lovely. She referred me to the breast clinic as an urgent case and they saw me within 6 days (Today).
I was examined firstly by a doctor, who told me that he could not feel any lump behind my nipple (my Gp said that she could) but sent me for an ultrasound. The radiologist found a lump behind me nipple straightaway and I had a core biopsy done and have got to go back for my results on Wednesday afternoon.
I lost my Mum to Ovarian Cancer just over two years ago ( there is also a history of bc on my Mum’s side) and to say that I feel scared is a bit of an understatement. I am hoping that this is some hormonal blip and that the lump is something small and friendly.
Enough of my waffle anyway…I just wanted to say hello to everyone and hope that everyone is doing as well as they can

Hi Lisa,
I know how you are feeling and all the emotions you are going through, I was diagnosed 3 years ago today when i was pregnant with my 6th son aged 32. You did the right thing going to the doctors and hopefully you will be given the all clear.
Good luck for wednesday, I will be thinking of you
Hi Lisa
Hopefully it will be nothing to worry about, but if it is there is a fantastic treatment and support system in place to get you through. I was only diagnosed a couple of weeks ago and have felt safe in the fact that they know what they are doing and will get me through this.
Just try to stay positive.
Will be thinking of you on Wednesday let us know how you get on.
Ann
good luck for Wednesday Lisa x

Well ladies…I am still waiting and none the wiser! I had a telephone call from the hospital at 1.30pm ( an hour and a half before my appointment) to say that it had been cancelled as my results weren’t ready. When I asked why, the lady said that they had to put some more stains on my sample…I hope that makes sense! Because of the bank holiday ( I think they usually give out the results on Mondays and Wednesdays at our hospital), I have got to wait until next Wednesday. It seems like an eternity away but at least they are being thorough, so more of the same for now…
Michelle, I was really anxious too, but everyone at the breast clinic was lovely and made it as stress-free an experience as they could under the circumstances - I hope all goes well for you.
Good luck to everyone else waiting for results
Take care all and tahnks so much for your messages,

Hi girls,
I’m new too. My name’s Victoria and i’m 34. nothing diagnosed at the moment but have a fairly large and quite painful lump. My mum had BC when she was in her early 40’s so i’m a little worried. luckily though after a masectomy she’s been ok since then.
I haven’t told anyone about this yet as i don’t want to worry anyone if it turns out to nothing - which i’m trying to convince myself that it’s not - hopefully just a cyst. Hopefully i won’t have to wait too long but we’'ll see. beginning to struggle with keeping this to myself.
anyway, enough about me. Lisa I hope the wait won’t be too agonising and just stay positive and hopefully it will all turn out ok. also can i just say. Jameva - 6th child at 32 !!! what a handful they must be.
ok, bye for now.
