Hello
I am a new member. I found a lump in my breast and was referred to the hospital. During an ultrasound two biopsies have been taken and I am due to go back for the results in two days time. This has to have been the longest week ever. I don't want to read too much until I have a diagnosis. This is a very lonely place to be in and whilst I know it won't last it is hard.
Thank you for reading.
Carol
Hi Carol RemyD and welcome to the Online Community although so sorry to hear about your ongoing diagnosis, this is such a hard time for you but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support here on the Online Community.
The New to Community area is like our reception where we can signpost our many dedicated support groups and services so can I recommend you start by joining our Breast cancer group. This is a safe place to talk to other people who may have a similar diagnosis or treatment experiences.
If you'd like to connect in with a group, you need to join the group. First click on the Green link I have created above. Then once the page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New (Computers) or + (Mobile Devices). You will then see a dropdown menu so hit ‘Start a Discussion in New here, say hello’ and you are ready to go.
You could copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also search through existing ‘Discussions’ and click [reply] if you want to put up a comment.
The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via web chat. This service provides cancer information, emotional support, benefits and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

The waiting is very hard, I have been on my journey for over 22 yers now with multiple relapses over the years so the waiting is part of my life now....... but I am still around doing good.
In the mean time do call the support line as these folks are amazing ((hugs))
