Hi everyone. This is my first post here and like everyone at this stage I am very anxious and on a rollercoaster of emotions. Following a screening recall I was told by the consultant radiographer that’ I definitely had ‘something that will require treatment’. I had mentally prepared myself for this - some sort of sixth sense told me it would be cancer even though I had no cause for concern prior to screening. I was just about able to cope with what I am told is a 13mm mass found through screening. I know of others who have had very successful treatment for early stage found in screening. However the finding of a suspicious lymph node on ultrasound has completely floored me and I now veer from being slightly positive to planning what I need to put my affairs in order. I am sure this is common response.
i now have a date next week to see the surgeon for biopsy results Having read much more now I realise that there will probably be more tests needed then and yet more waiting This time really is awful isn’t it I thought I had dealt with problems well in the past and was strong when it came to serious issues But nothing has prepared me for the current turmoil and anxiety
