Hello Quinney,
what have you had done ? I am not sure on the time limit for results someget their’s in days and others do wait weeks
please do not get stressed I know easier to say than do ,
myself according to my bcn am denying the fact that I do need treatment !!!
hang on in there take a good book to the garden feet up and enjoy

Hi guinny
Think all the waiting makes us stress out, which is very normal. When i turned 50 ,i was sent an appointment for a mammogram that done on a tuesday, and was called back on the next monday had lots of tests done, 2 weeks later was told i had BC, i think that was quick. I was then sent for ultrasound and then an MRI, had my op in the april, chemo in the may, lymph node clearance in the nov, RT in feb. being at work helped me a lot, while i was waiting, but found it very stressful.I hope a 4 week wait is a good sign,
All the best

Hi Quinny
Its a very worrying time and we all cope in different ways. I stressed in 2004 anmd I’ve been stressing again the last 3 weeks.
This site is very supportive and BCC is a wonderful organisation if the waiting gets too bad you could give them a cal.
I hope all goes well for you.
Hugs

Morning Quinny
I’ts good you feel more positive today, its like that sometimes bit like pendulum on a clock swinging back and forth.
You deserve a medal for keeping it all together must be difficult managing whilst OH working nights.
I hope your getting loads of support from family and friends with the practical/emotional side of things.
Keep your chin up - bet Monday seems ages away.
Hope all goes well you.
Lots of hugs

thank you and yh my children and hubby are fab xx
Quinny
I’m so glad you’ve got support cos sometimes just a little smile and friendly word helped me retain some feeling of normality.
It sound as though you’ve got a lovely family hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend, considering the circumstances.
Hope your little boy is on the mend.
