Hello All, I was due to attend the clinic this morning at 09:30 to get my biopsy results ref calcification in left breast. I got a call at 08:53, a time line I will always remember. This from the Consultant, to tell me he had good news for me and all was benign!! That I would now revert back to 3 year screening. And all was well. The relief was overwhelming, So I wanted to take a moment to post this. To thank you for your support as I have through these steps. And to also give something back, in that things can work out ok, and they do. To give some positive hope to all. I wish everyone on this forum the best of luck in the World with ongoing tests and appointments, and send virtual hugs and best wishes that everything works out ok in the end. xxx

Well it’s the night before, I had a call from a BCN at the Breast Test Centre this morning asking me general health questions over the phone. This due to COVID, so they’re doing it this way. I managed to pluck up the courage to ask her why I was being recalled, she didn’t have that detail, so couldn’t advise. She was very lovey and gentle with me. I am so scared of what tomorrow may bring. It’s a very weird time right now, with everything else that’s going on in the World. It’s all so very surreal. If there is anyone else out there attending centres for these tests tomorrow I wish all the very best of luck. And hope the sunshine’s on us. 💕

Hi Jaybro, Thank you for your words of encouragement. When I got the letter yesterday following my screening a week ago I was in total shock. And have been trying to get my head straight since. Was wondering whether to ring a breast cancer nurse, there is a number on my letter if I wish to speak to someone before my appointment. But wasn’t too sure if she could tell me anymore than the letter? Which just says, need to do more tests before they can give me a result. I’ve had a few weepy moments admittedly, but am now trying to put a lid on the box of the negative feelings, they’re like waves of distress. And look to the positive and keep hope that all will be fine. Tuesday morning will be here soon enough. So I guess I will know more then. It was a shock as from my perspective I can see or feel anything concerning. But I guess that is why we have the screening programme. Hope all goes well for you on Thursday, sending positive vibes 💕

Hi there Bluecat, and thank you for your kind words of wisdom. It was a shock and a half when I got my letter. And I am trying to now focus on the good things around me. And as you say, find a way of managing the emotions and fears. I hope all goes well for you 💕 , my appointment is Tuesday morning. So I have 4 days to get my breath, stop my head spinning, fight the fear and keep the positive thoughts winning. Not easy, but necessary I think. Thank you again for your note, much, much appreciated xx
