Thank you so much Poppyfields. I just feel like I am going through the motions each and every day. I am petrified it has spread through my body and I am going to be told horrendous news. I feel like the rug has been well and truly pulled from under me. To go from being elated about our much wanted pregnancy to this.

I really hope your results go well this week. I will be thinking of you and will of course keep you in my prayers xxxx

Hi SP87, i am waiting for results this week too. I just read your post, we all understand how you are feeling and you have the added challenge of being pregnant. I really hope all turns out ok. Either way everyone is hrre for you.

Best wishes.

That's wonderful to hear Helena. I am sure work has offered you a welcome distraction and some normality which is always a good thing. Hope all goes well when you are back full time next week. You sound like you're doing great xxxx

You are in very good company with us lot 🙂

I am doing very well, I had my op in Oct and finished rads last month.  I am now finished active treatment, I have been back at work since November albeit it 12 hours a week, but start back on my normal hours next week.  It is amazing but at the time I could not imagine my saying all this but I have got there xxx

Helena sorry to hear about your diagnosis but I hope you're doing well. It just feels like such a wonderful community of people. I find myself lost in posts for hours but it's just so reassuring so see I am by no means alone in this terrifying journey xxxx

I was diagnosed with breast cancer, but I am a lot older than you, I am nearly 59.  I can honestly say that without the wonderful ladies on here I do not know how I would have got through my treatment, the support that they have given me has been amazing and believe it or as well as ranting and crying together "virtually" of course, we have had a lot of very funny moments.  Its because everyone gets you and sometimes it is easier to voice things on here that you are too afraid to speak about with your nearest and dearests.

That is good to hear they will be with you, and obviously sending them hugs because it is a very worrying time for you all.

Yep you want to know the results but then dont in the same breath, the breast care team will be very aware of your anxiety as they are used to it and will help you with this.

I am Helena, I am taking my lovely husband and mum who are both besides themselves with worry. I am frantically wishing the days away and then being absolutely petrified of making my legs move into that room. It's lovely to know that you wonderful ladies all totally relate. I have found this such a comforting place to be xxx

I lost half a stone waiting for my results so it is not unusual for someone to have this happen because of the anxiety.

Good that you are trying some soup, I must admit I love tomato soup when I am feeling under the weather and the thought of a proper meal is just too much, even just eating something will help.. 

Are you taking someone with you on Wednesday, it might be a good idea if only for moral support?

There is generally one of our lovely ladies on here at all times of the day so just know we are here to help and support you

Thank you so much for your reply. I am so grateful. I am trying to be optimistic but the enlarged node is terrifying me. The consultant said she had concerns and of course that has just sent me into an utter tail spin of epic proportion. I have lost nearly a stone in weight with worry and it's so hard as I know I can't do this to myself or the baby. I am just trying to eat a bowl of soup as I type. Of course I will certainly keep in touch regarding results xxxxx

Well if you want hand holding you will get it in bucket loads on here my dear xxx

We all know exactly what you are going through but you have the added thing of being pregnant, there was another lady on here only this past week or so who had a lump and also found out she was pregnant shortly afterwards, it has turned out the the lump is hormonal, so everything crossed that will be the same with you.

One thing to remember is that not all lumps are cancerous, rhere are a lot of other breast conditions that it could be and it could be that it is the same with you in that it is hormonal because of your pregnancy.

Try to do something to take your mind off getting your results and I know how easy that sounds and how difficult it is to do.  You really do need to eat, try just having small snacks throughout the day which might be better than a proper meal.

Let us know how you get on.  Sending you a virtual hug too.

Hi everybody I have been reading the forums for a few days and found you to be all so wonderful. As the subject says I am 29 and currently 13 weeks pregnant. I have always had a problematic right breast and been back and forth over the years with a fibrocystic breast. I last had an US 10 months ago. I have since felt thickening in my breast and was instantly referred to be seen. I have had a biopsy taken and also FNA in enlarged lymph node. I feel like I have resigned myself to bad news. I am struggling to eat, sleep and function and I still have to wait until Wednesday for results. Just after a little bit of hand holding really as I know you all understand what I am going through xxx
