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

  • Sounds like you’re going through it yourself with a lot of things. Please report back when you know. Even if you just get support here, at least you have someone. Xx thank you xx

  • So I’ve just had a phone call from the breast nurse. I should’ve been allocated a nurse before I left the clinic but wasn’t so she was calling to apologise and also advise that I need a further vacuum assisted biopsy as there are 2 areas of microcalcification. I don’t really understand it all but I’m booked in tomorrow for that. She’s advised that it’s more painful than the initial biopsy but hoping that it will not be too bad xx

  • All the best with this tomorrow xx hope you get more answers x

  • Thank you. I’ll be thinking of you today also. Good luck xx

  • I hope your day went ok. Been thinking of you xx

  • Not the best day to be honest. They weren’t able to do the vac assisted biopsy because I don’t have enough fat so took 6 biopsies under mammogram. There were 6 people in the room which made me a bit anxious and then was told when they’d finished that they weren’t able to collect the samples that they needed so will have to travel to another hospital for this Cry I’m hoping that this doesn’t delay the results. I just need to know now. Thank you for thinking of me. 

    How are you getting on? xx

  • Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. 

    I’m basically having a mastectomy and possible radiotherapy. Depends on lymph biopsy regarding chemo. But all looks positive. Thank you xx

    If you need to talk - just come back on here we are here for you xx

  • Oh bless you. That’s a lot to take in.

    how are you feeling? xx

  • I actually feel better today. More positive. I’m not vain so I’m really not bothered about a mastectomy. All I want is to be with my family. Xx

  • It definitely feels like the safest option doesn’t it? I’m glad you’re having a good day. I slept better last night but that was probably the wine. Much needed after the shock of this week.

    Do you have a date for surgery? Xx
