I am slowly going a bit mad here! after finding a lump and the doctor not taking me seriously or referring me I kicked off and had an appointment with the breast clinic yesterday. Part of me was relieved that they took me seriously and the other part wishes they could have done the mammogram and sent me on my way feeling as if I was over reacting. But as we all know, we know our bodies better than anyone! I had a mammogram, scan and biopsy yesterday and now have to wait til the 16th for the results. Hoping that I get a call to go back sooner? So much is going through my head and I’m spending time on google, which probably isnt helping but The wait is already driving me bonkers. So worried
I can’t relieve you of your worries, we’ve all been there & it’s horrible. But you’ve done the right thing & if it is anything you’ll get it sorted. I’m going to tell you what many people will tell you - stop using Google! I know it’s hard & you want answers now, but you want the right answers. I know this won’t have helped but at least you know all us lot on the forum have been where you are & know where you’re coming from & are here for you. Hoping you get good results. Anita x
Hi Bev, a year ago today I had my biopsy and was feeling just as you are and its horrendous, sadly nothing we can say will make much difference but if I could go back and have a word with myself it would be try and keep your days full and don’t write yourself off before you know anything,I wasn’t going to last the week in my head! Your still going to feel stressed and anxious but the time passes so much quicker if you keep going, I came to a complete stand still and had to be dragged out of the house which did me no good at all, once I was diagnosed I felt better and could get on with dealing with it which I have and a year on God willing it’s all behind me now! Good on you for pushing to be checked out, you have a good chance all will be well but if not then you are in the right place to get lots of support and advice Xx Jo
Thanks all, I think i will keep off google from now on! so nice to vent to people that understand. Will try my best to follow advice and keep myself busy. Stressing over what I cant control is definitely not helping, though hard not to do.
