Hey everyone,
I have stumbled across the community driving myself mad at home and trying to avoid Dr Google!
I noticed a dimple on my right breast 1 week ago, I saw my Dr she confirmed she could see it too (I was quite thankful I wasn't imagining it!!) she couldn't find a lump but did say there was a slight thickening.
I was referred to the Breast Clinic and my appointment is June 12th.
Amazed how quickly things moved although it seems such a long time till 12th
Yesterday I noticed a 2nd dimple in the same breast and now I am thinking the worst. The first is under and the 2nd to the outer side and both only really seen when my arm is raised.
I have 3 boys, 5 and 21month old twins all keeping me busy and hubby is being great.
I am 38
Not really sure why I am posting but feels nice to get it out and maybe chat to some of you while I wait.
Sending love and hugs to those going through similar, been diagnosed and those fighting xxx
Hi ,
Hopefully your stay will be short but while you are here you will find lots of lovely ladies and gents to help you through the coming days!
Waiting for the appointment will seem like waiting ‘forever’! Then the day before you will be wishing the appointment was miles away! This is how all these thoughts and emotions really mess with your head! But together we will get you through the coming days! I too am awaiting results which I receive on the 12th! So we can wait together!
You are already being sensible by staying away from Dr Google! Don’t get me wrong google is great for some things, but when it comes to health it’s best to ask people who have been through it or whom are medically trained! As let’s face it Dr Google will turn the common cold into the plague!!
Sounds like you will be busy with your boys so won’t have to much free time to worry. Although I expect nights are the worse, as that’s when you tend to be alone with your thoughts. There is a thread called the ‘AWAKE’ thread, we chat through the day and night on there so feel free to drop by and say hi if you find yourself unable to sleep!
Keep reminding yourself that there are many different things that it could be, other than Cancer! However if it is Cancer it is VERY treatable and so please don’t worry! We will be here to support you whatever the results! Stay in touch and ask anything you need to ask!
Sending you a (((((((((gentle hug))))))))) something else we are very good at! Virtual Hugs all round! Sal xxx
Thank you LondonLass
Yes time feels like its going double slow! But you are right I know when it comes to the appointment time i'll wish it wasn't.
Yes lets wait together! Means so much
Admittedly Dr Google did draw me in this afternoon but I have told myself no more, its no good for my head!
Yes night times are the hardest, all 3 boys sleep so well which I am so grateful for and hubby is normally soundo as soon as his head hits the pillow. I am not sleeping great at all! So restless and waking every few hours. I will check out the AWAKE thread thank you for recommending :)
I am staying positive and even if it isn't good news know I will be well looked after and after finding this community today have lots of people to talk too.
And thank you for that virtual hug!! Sending one right back! Xxx
