Hi everyone, 

Feel a bit of a fraud as I dont even know if I have cancer but desperate to do something proactive while waiting for results. I felt a large lump in breast that seems to have appeared out of nowhere, dr says it definitely not a cyst and have thickening of lymph nodes.  Got my biopsy appointment tomorrow and cant help panicking. All my bones are aching but that could be stress and honestly I'm just thinking about my hubby and daughter whose only 8. Came on here to see what support is out there if I need it. Any advice on managing the waiting??Wishing everyone on here love and best wishes whatever stage you are at xxxx

  • Thanks Lizzy, I'm so grateful for the support,  especially at such a stressful time for you. I'm here to listen if you need to vent as well. Sounds like your cockapoo is a blessing, we have an 8 month old shih tzu Feet Ruth xxx

  • Hi Karyn,

    Thank you for letting us know how you got on with your results That is really good news it is not BC. I am so relieved to hear that you don’t have to go through this agonising journey. However, you did go through some of it waiting on results from tests and that is a really tough time.  I too am starting to see light at the end of my tunnel as I am starting my Radiotherapy next week for a month and hormone therapy treatment seems to have calmed a bit on my body now.  All being well I hope to get my new normal life back and return to work in January if I feel ok. Then have my other breast surgery later next year.

    Wishing you happiness and good health now and in the future.

    love Netty xx

  • Thanks for asking Tina, hope you are ok.

    Just had phone call saying to come in at 4 tomorrow as they want a dr to be there and that's the only appointment. Totally in bits now as cant see how it can be good news if the want a Dr there, andDisappointed relievedrying to sort out someone to pick my daughter up from school. Disappointed relieved

  • Hi ,

    Im doing ok hunni thank you, I’m suffering some aches/pains etc from anti hormone tablets though. 

    I totally understand it’s a feeling you can’t really describe. Just so many emotions rolled into one. 

    I thought it was standard for a Dr to be there but could depend on where you live. 
    It is difficult trying to arrange childcare at short notice, my younger two were 15 and 12 so older than yours but I didn’t want my youngest to be on her own so had to arrange for friends to look after her. 

    Im keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow, pls let us know how you get on.

    Hugs Tina x x

  • Hi Cheeboe,

     I think Tina is right that it’s the doctor that has to give you the results. We all know what you are going through and it’s not easy but if it is bad news that it is cancer then it is treatable. My head went into overload when I was told my results that I had BC and the emotions that I felt was unreal but you will cope you have to for your children. I kept breaking down when my daughter was out of the room as I didn’t want her to see my tears but once you know you become stronger and start to deal with it and cope with the treatment. 

    I am praying for good news for you tomorrow and remember we are all here to help and get you through it as the support on here has been invaluable to me.

    Love Netty xx

  • Thanks Tina, sorry you are not feeling great I hope it will pass soon xxxx

    That's reassured me a bit that maybe the Dr has to be there even if its good news. Thank you. I've managed to get extra after school club tomorrow so one less thing to worry about and hubby has managed to get afternoon off work. Xxxx
