Breast clinic appointment date - Christmas Eve

So sorry your feeling like this. Waiting is the worst part of all of this. A couple of times I’ve had text to remind me of an appointment before the letter. Would you feel better if you move the appointment until after Christmas?

It's a double edged sword really, I don't want to put it off any longer but it's just being that day that is making me worse.

You're right about the waiting, even if it's bad news I'm the sort of person who'd rather just know so I can deal with it all xx

Try to think of it this way - once it’s done you can carry on with the rest of Christmas, results won’t be back until the new year. 

Bad timing but I hope you’ll get positive news. I’ve got a gynae procedure on Christmas Eve. I’m worried because by now I think everything’s cancer, but the sooner I get the results the sooner I can get on with things.  I suppose you might worry if you’ve had the test or not? When I went to the breast clinic the first time they told me straight away that I almost certainly had cancer, but they were reassuring so I didn’t feel too bad at first. They tend to be very honest at those clinics and tell you as much as they can. They’ve also told people straight away when it looks benign, although they can’t confirm that until pathology comes through 1-2 weeks later. Hopefully you too will be reassured either way.

I’ve now finished all my active treatment and am having radiotherapy soon as a preventative.

The timing sucks, but when I was going through the diagnosis part, every time I went for an appointment I thought I’d get a diagnosis, but it actually took quite a bit longer as I needed more scans and the group of oncologists had to review results. You might find that they just refer you for further testing so it might be good to possibly prepare yourself for that.

Thanks all for your kind words, just playing the waiting game now.

I'm still waiting to hear about my thyroid ultrasound, looks like that won't be til the New Year - feels like this is never ending. x
