I’ve just phoned in sick to work, as I can’t concentrate and am just a blubbering mess. Found a lump just before Christmas (grape sized, quite firm) and weird texture (my Dr said Thickening) and was referred within the two week window. I’m 43, with a big busy job, a terminally ill mother currently on Chemo, 2 teenage daughters. I just can’t be poorly! I keep saying to myself that the odds are in my favour and it’s most likely nothing to worry about - but I’m petrified. I haven’t been able to tell my family - as I don’t want to worry them with what might be nothing. Husband has been great amazing support.
i attended my appointment on Friday. I completely get you about becoming a blubbering mess, I too was okay until Wednesday when I couldn’t contain it anymore.
I was so anxious on the day that I am so glad to have been with my friend and daughter. I was in a bit of a blurry state. So please take someone with you. Even if it turns out to be nothing, until you know that you have exactly the same anxieties.
The clinic I attended was brilliant. They understand and are very kind.
Thank you! How did your appt go?
Trying hard not to worry - but just don’t have a good feeling about it
Only one more sleep and then hopefully my mind will be at rest. Xx
Hi, I went to clinic on Friday. Had an examination, scan and biopsy. Have to go back on 27th. My parents and brother have cancer so I am worried. They are good at the clinic so don’t worry as the put you at ease. I went on my own but you can take someone. Only told my sister friday night. Will tell rest of family when I know for sure. Good luck hope it all goes well.
Were they able to tell you anything in the day? I was expecting to get some peace of mind! (Knowing either way) - I should perhaps prepare myself for a longer wait!
So sorry to hear that your family are already dealing with so much. Fingers crossed for you xx
