Hi lovely LondonLass, definitely never forgotten. That’s amazing that this wonderful thread has been going for 5 years!!! HFxxxxx

Oh Mag123sorry to hear you back on test merry go round. If you read my profile you will see I've had recalls and repeat scans and biopsy since my original diagnosis in June 2015. Each time the terror has been real so I understand how you feel. I was facing a delay for appointment so I conreacted my BC nurse who got me quicker appointment so might be worth trying .
Hi Mag123, just wanted to offer you another supportive….

sounds like you are going through a Crappy time! Believe me we ALL know what that feels like! However worrying won’t change anything. What will be will be. I know that might sound harsh, but that lump won’t disappear or grow because you worry about it, it’ll just make you feel worse!
So TRY your hardest to put it to the back of your mind until your appointment day. At which point you know you will still probably have to wait for definite answers! So keeping busy and finding nice things to fill your day is the way forward.
I found preparing myself for the worse case scenario meant I was prepared and actually, strangely enough less scared! Remind yourself of what you have already been through! You are stronger than you think!
I have a little friend who is VERY well known on this thread and he enjoys nothing more than visiting people when they need some support. Believe me he takes your mind off things as he’s a mischievous little chap! It’s actually his Birthday tomorrow and he’s 5! Although hasn’t changed a bit it all those years! He’s seen things that I’m sure no Guinea Pig should ever see and he’s helped so many ladies and gents! LP would very much like to go with you to your next appointment, he can’t guarantee that he’ll bring the news you want BUT he does guarantee that you’ll have him for company, someone to talk too, but not too loudly or they will think you are Loopy (which you are, you’re a Fruit Loop)! He’ll probably get up to some mischief which you can tell us about afterwards! But most of all he’ll remind you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE and THAT THE FRUIT LOOPS ARE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! Whatever the outcome!

He’s chosen to keep his mask on at the moment as most hospitals still require them plus he knows it’s safer, because he’s got more brain cells than Boris!
Anyway I hope the hug and LP’s support can see you through the coming days! I shall leave you in peace now, as I can gabble on for hours, as the other Fruit Loops will know But I need some sleep as LP has a Birthday to Celebrate tomorrow, which means he’ll be up early!! (Yes I am Loopy! But I blame the meds I’m on)!
Night night Hun! Sal xxxxx
