Hi , I went to breast clinic last week after being recalled from breast screening. The Doctor confirmed 2cm lump and that it is worrying. Radiologist took magnified digital mammogram, Doctor then did ultrasound and 3 biopsies of lump and biopsy under arm. I feel physically sick with worry. I’m petrified that the aches and pains in my hips and back, sprains and leg cramps are all somehow connected. Such a roller coaster of emotions. I get the biopsy results tomorrow from the surgeon. Thank you Helen (BCC nurse) our conversation yesterday helped allay some concerns and fears. Don’t think I’d be keeping it together at all right now without the access to so much info on this site and the contribution from others on the forums.

Hi Bas,
I’m so sorry you have to be here, the place nobody wants to be.
Can I ask, did you have all these other aches and pains before you were recalled? Most of us when waiting for test results have these kind of symptoms, it’s usually caused by stress. The waiting and worry can make us very tense. By now, you will probably have been given your results. Whatever they are, this is the best place to come to rant, cry, whatever you need to do. There will be a lot of support for you.
Take care
