Hi All

 

I had a routine mammogram 3 weeks ago, never noticed any syptoms before i had it, But 2 days later started getting pains in my right breast and noticed a flattening of my nipple so went to the GP she then checked me and also found a small 1cm lump under my nipple so refered me to one stop breast clinic which i have an appointment for this friday 12th. in the mean time had a recall from the mamogram, since then i have noticed every ache and pain imaginable, top of my right arm/sholder pain too, now convincing myself i have Cancer throughout my whole body. I keep belching and feel sick is this just parinoia ??  Friday can’t come soon enough :(

Hi Den64

 

This is a rotten time until you know what you are dealing with.  If someone had told me that anxiety causes a whole range of physical symptoms I wouldn’t have believed them until it happened to me.  Whilst awaiting my appointments I had all sorts of things manifesting, tingling sickness, not sleeping etc.  All of this went away once I had my diagnosis and treatment sorted.   Your nearly there for Friday, so just know you are not alone in  this pathway.

Too right, Den! If you get a bc diagnosis, then there is plenty of support here. Do let is know how you get on.

Hello Ladies

 

Just thought i would let you know my results. 

I Have BC in both breasts, one is stage 1 and the other stage 2, I am having a mastectomy on my right one where i had the lesions and lump removal on my left. it sounds strange but i feel fine about it all, I think in my head i thought it was going to be the worse case senario, thinking it had spread through out my body all sorts of things your mind works overtime on while waiting for results. So the fact that it can be dealt with, I know thats not going to be pleasant or pain free and they are hoping i might not need to have chemo so to me it  is all positive, hopefully 6 month to a year from now things will get back to normalish. The fight is on and I will beat this :)

Hi Den,
Well, welcome to the club, there’s loads of support here & yes, you’re right about feeling so positive & its certainly not strange to feel fine, so to speak, as it will now be dealt with.
Loads of us are back to life as normal after treatment, so good to hear you feel that now.
If you want to, there is the ‘newly diagnosed’ & ‘going through treatment’ boards, where there’s others at the stage you’re at or further down the line.
