Hi everyone. I was told in clinic this week after a mammogram and ultrasound that I have breast cancer. The specialist nurse seemed positive and said the lymph nodes look clear and looks early. I have one lump with 2 small coming off it. All together is 3cm. I’m scared of what’s ahead. Any similar stories? Results on Thursday. TIA

    1. Hi. I’m kind of in the same boat. Nurse said mammogram not clear due to my age, I’m 44. But from ultrasound they think it is cancer. I have a lump in my right breast, calcifications & something in axillary lymph nodes which is still unclear. Waiting for Biopsy results next Monday. In the beginning I didn’t want to worry my friends & family who live outside UK, but once told this I realised I need support & reached out which helped me feel not alone. I think I will need professional mental support after results are out. Being here helped me keep informed as I’d hate to be bombarded with information & having to make blind decisions next week. Good luck to you this week.
  • Hello. 
    I am so sorry that you find yourself here, and that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. 
    The waiting is the worst, and hardest part, 

    Once you get a treatment plan, it does get easier. Have they told you what treatment that you may need? 
    Sending hugs. xx

  • Sending you hugs too. xx

  • Thank you. Good luck to you too. Xx

  • No I don’t know anything yet. Which is making me very anxious. I’m very anxious of what the future holds xx thank you for replying 

  • Were you told that you had cancer without having the biopsy results back?

    I had a biopsy yesterday. All I have been told is that they found something suspicious. Next appointment has been booked for 3 weeks time which feels forever away.

    my husband got diagnosed with bowel cancer and was told during his colonoscopy that they had found a cancer before getting the biopsy results. 

    This is making me think that they have just taken a biopsy to be on the safe side. Don’t really know what to think at this point

    i hope all goes well for your appointment on Thursday
