Do keep off dr Google because it sends you into orbit. I’m sure we’ve all done it though so don’t be hard on yourself if you’ve burnt your keyboard off Googling. Do speak to the nurses on here by ringing the number you can also discuss your other things too ❤️ Finding a lump does send your brain whirring at million miles an hour and they can help with professional factual responses to all your questions ❤️ Your sleep will probably be a bit broken and you’ll probably wake up few times in the night if you’ve no lavender pillow mist, do get some and try it, it did work well for me and managed to sleep. Now please be kind to yourself you are in charge even though it doesn’t feel like you are, try visualising slamming the door shut and locking it and putting key in your pocket and only open it at your appointment next week, you will find what works for you and remember right now at this very moment you do not have breast cancer. You are Cannary78 ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ... View more

Busyboobs ❤️ Back in 2017 when I found my lump, I even spoke to it telling it to do one 🤣 that’s how 🤯 it made me. But you have to remember till a professional tells you, you have breast cancer, you do not have breast cancer ❤️ But you’ll still be checking it every 5 minutes, we are human and perfectly normal to keep going Ba mick to it. Like when a mozzie bite itches you know you shouldn’t scratch but you do ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ... View more

Annie 🍾 glad you’ve enjoyed a cheeky Prosecco after passing a prize marrow you deserve that 👍 think a lot of us celebrated the post op bum block it’s such a relief isn’t it 👍 glad to hear your post op exercises going well and hope you are regaining movement well 👍 👭 and being able to get some short walks in this glorious sunshine and fresh air 👍 it can feel like grand national as you leap over each hurdle 👍 but you got the bcn colours on you 👭 you will get through and do it your way as you are doing ❤️ And you are doing great ❤️ 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...

Cannary78 ❤️ Glad you’ve reached out to bcn 👭 well done you for being vigilant and getting appointment with dr first to get checked and for arranging  private appointment because it will be quicker for you to get the checks that will tell you one way or the other. Please do phone the number on here and speak to a nurse ❤️ It’s hard to think about anything else once you find a lump, it consumes you and you can’t stop going back to check it’s actually there and or if you’ve imagined it, or if it’s disappeared ❤️ But do please remember lumps can be lots of different things not necessarily breast cancer and until a professional tells you, you have breast cancer you do not have breast cancer ❤️ You could also go back to your doctor to see if they can prescribe you something that could help till your appointment next week 👭 and it’s normal to be in shock ❤️ Lavender pillow mist helped me get some sleep during the 🤯 phase when you’ve first found the lump, my appetite went and just had what I fancied when I fancied it bit of cheese on toast mainly. Please do phone the nurses on here they will speak to you in depth about questions you have with professional kindness and support ❤️ I’m sure others will pop on and 👭 ❤️ You too 💕 💕 ✨ ✨ Shi xx ...
