Hi all, that was a speedy repair wasn't it? Bless his cotton socks.
Was all geared up for my appointment tomorrow and have just recieved a phone call saying my consultant can't see me now until next Thursday!! Breast care nurse said "is that ok" couldn't really say "OF COURSE NOT I WANT TO SEE HIM NOW!!!!!!" So politely replied, it will have to be won't it, oooer, not her fault I know, but left it a bit late to tell me. Said he feels he would have more time for me next week.
MRI results still not back. Does that mean it's fine as they would let me know if there was something dreadful going on, or does it mean he needs to speak to me at length about what they have found???!!! I hate this damn waiting game, as I'm sure do we all.
Out for lunch again tomorrow with the grandchildren, having a picnic lunch. I expect it will rain now I have said that!
Went to my GP and got some sleeping tablets as am sleeping on average 3 or 4 hours a night, it's starting to catch up with me now.
Stay positive and happy everyone, love and hugs, Debbie. xx

Hi Debbie, my last appointment with the consultant was actually postponed for 6 months which meant that I wouldn't have been seen for a whole year. I quickly got on the phone to his secretary who told me that so many people had been complaining about the delays at the clinic to be seen. I told her I didn't care how late they were, the drs were there to save my life and if they are running late it must be because they have a busy clinic, meaning they are required. She agreed with me and fitted me in for a month later.
As for the MRI results, I think if they were back the nurse would have told you, although I'm not saying she would have given you them over the phone, so try not to worry that they are holding anything back from you.
Hope you manage to catch up on that sleep soon. It doesn't help when we are exhausted next day!
Thanks for your comments Sue. I actually work in a hospital and am really trying hard not to look up my own results as that's how I found out I had cancer! It was a horrible shock just seeing it up on the screen. I know it won't alter anything, but if I look them up and don't really understand it, I think I will feel worse.
I was a terrible sleeper before all this, so don't hold out much hope now.
