Well, the waiting is over and the results were benign and no further action required.
The waiting for results was worse than the biopsies and poking and prodding. My poor left boob has not received so much attention ever!
A horrible 3 weeks of angst and a big thank you to all on here for your support. I didn't kow where else to go or who to speak to. A huge heartfelt thank you.
My thoughts are with you all. Thank you so much.
"go home and enjoy the next 7 days" I know she probably meant well, but I'd have thought a breast care nurse would know better than to say that. I do hope the 'sleep fairy' visit you though, as lying awake worrying is the most awful thing. When you've hung about on this site for long enough, you will know what I mean by sleep fairy. We all want her to visit us regularly. Sending big hugs and calm thoughts your way. Poemsgalore xxx
Well horrible first appointment over. Nothing huge seen but obviously there is something there. The first very young doctor couldn't see anything at all on the ultrasound scan but the consultant found two areas he wanted further samples from. Two areas of interest and 2 x core samples (3 bits from each area and metal tags put in).
Next appointment 7 days time. They were very kind and helpful at the breast screening centre but platitudes just don't give you any relief from the mental anguish of the hundreds of "what ifs" runnning through your brain.
The nurse said go home and enjoy the next 7 days, well enjoy is maybe not the right terminology given the circumstances, but 7 days waiting ibegins.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
My sister died from breast cancer just over a year ago and now, this morning, I have received a recall letter following a routine mammogram last week. Very quick appointment for wednesday 13th - makes me even more worried it must be something serious to get such a quick appointment. The stuff that is going through my head just now is scary - no one to talk to - just my dogs - good for a hug but not great conversationalists! Scary times - surely it can't be happening to me now so soon after losing my sister.
