Thank you mama-bear. I hope you are doing okay today. I have been thinking of you. M xx ... View more

I have spoken to the consultant’s secretary and she said that I didn’t need to come in for results. They have reviewed my case and I will be sent a ‘reassure and discharge’ letter. I think this means my biopsy was clear, but I can’t quite believe it until I see the letter. I also don’t know if there will be any follow up in terms of regular screening, etc, but when I get the letter I will update here in case it helps anyone else. Meanwhile, good luck to everyone waiting for results or treatment.   Thinking of you. M xx ... View more

Hi Diddy. Sounds like you had a lovely day. I am okay. I have been keeping busy with work. I had a big wobble mid morning and phoned the hospital, and I got to talk to the consultant's secretary. She said someone will phone me tomorrow. I will be thinking of you in the morning and am hoping with every once that you get good news. Love M xx ... View more

Renee is right mama-bear, you have got this, and we are all sending you our total positivity, whatever our own outcomes. Love, M xx ... View more

Oh no. I'm so terribly sorry to hear that. I hope they gave you clear information about what happens next. Are you coping okay? Thinking of you mama-bear. M xxx ... View more

Hi D. Thank you for your support. I'm sure you are right about telling and not telling. Most of my blabs were because people wanted me to do things that I couldn't commit to, and if the news is bad I would have had to tell them anyway. I'm so sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Dad's care. I do hope you can get him in for the assessment he needs.   I hope you get through today alright, and if I don't speak to you again before tomorrow, I will be thinking of you. M xxx ... View more

And thank you both as well!! Still no news...   Keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow mama-bear. Love M xx ... View more

Hi Reneeromer and Mama-bear. Sorry to hear you had bad weekends. Me too - although I have no-one to fall out with but myself! I have been sulking rather than crying and looking up the possible diagnoses in the hope that if I have one I will understand what they are saying to me. I'm hoping that I can be distracted by work today and that maybe they will call and tell me when my results will be. Good luck for tomorrow mama-bear, and do let me know if you hear anything R.

Hi Diddy. Sounds like your weekend was pretty up and down - me too. I think it was just a long time to fight off the thoughts. Like you with your brother I not only blurted the neighbours on Friday but then a friend on Sunday who asked if she could come over to stay next weekend with her husband and son. So after saying I would tell no-one, I have now told 7, yes 7, people who didn't need to know! Oh well.   I'm hoping that I can get back to work today and be distracted and that maybe I will hear when the results will be. Thinking of you. M xx ... View more

Thank you for your kind wishes Debbie. I hope your treatment goes well and you can look forward to your holiday. M xx ... View more

Haha. Get to that washing up you! I don't know if that after 50 thing is real or just a reason to back off the hard pressed resources. There are solid studies that show knowledge reduces stress, but I don't think they will say anything until they have real evidence, and I can understand that. There are a couple of ponies over the road, and they'd better be ready!! M xx ... View more

I've not been too bad mostly. I had a bad day yesterday, but the posts on here have helped. If I get all clear I will gladly lick any pony that presents its mush! I am dwelling on my family history - my mum and aunt were my age when they got diagnosed and my sister died in her early 40s. I had annual screening through my 40s but when I hit 50 they said my risk was now the same as the general population. No help really (?). M xx ... View more

At least you know when it will be. I will be thinking of you and keep in touch if it helps. Love M x ... View more

Hi Mama-bear - do you have a definite appointment for results - is it Wednesday? I still don't have a date for mine. M x ... View more

And good luck to anyone else getting their results this week... M x ... View more

Hi Diddy. I hope your weekend is going okay. I wasn't feeling so good yesterday and spent much of the day in bed. But I am up and at it again today; staying busy seems to be the key. My timings are so odd because the lump that took me to the breast clinic turned out to be a cyst, and because they were so overbooked, I didn't get into the one stop clinic but just saw the consultant. Once he drained the cyst I was then down for non urgent mammos and ultra sound and that took another 3 weeks. Then they found a different lump, and couldn't biopsy for another week. But anyway, here I am and the results should come soon.   Friday evening was lovely here and the neighbours over the road invited me over for a drink. Mainly it was a good distraction, but of course after a couple of drinks I blurted out about my appointment. I played it down as routine, but I suppose if I do have to have further treatment, it will be a good thing to have her support.   Thinking of you. M xx ... View more
