Please help quell my anxiety

Janice1. Hello and welcome.  That’s truly awful I’m so sorry you have been treated this way.  I share your anger I also Know what it’s like to be on tenterhooks and there is nothing worse.  Hang in there, deep breathing etc etc.   I wish you well, sending hugs xxx J

Hi J and thanks for your reply. I feel as if it is being treated like a urine sample dip. I understand they are busy but it has been 3 weeks already.

I guess I am being unreasonable. xx

Janice 1, that is disgusting I cannot believe that you have been treated that way.

My mammogram last October revealed calcifications in my right breast. I had two core biopsies on the 21st October and was given the results on the 26th October. 

It’s distressing enough to get a callback after a mammogram and to have to have biopsies. But to be treated the way you have been is not acceptable. I hope that you get some news soon and that it’s positive. Good luck xx

Thanks Valleyside. I take it yours wasn't good news? Your still here.

I honestly feel like I can cope with what they deal me. I thought I did okay calming myself to wait the extra week but 
I'm just shocked they don't have time for a phone call. 

Anyway I hope you are well?

Unfortunately not, but caught early and the prognosis is very good. No spread to the lymph nodes, I don’t need chemotherapy and only need radiotherapy and hormone treatment for 5 years. 
I had a great breast surgeon and wonderful BC nurses. I feel very lucky and grateful that everything was dealt with so quickly.

@janice1 it’s not unreasonable for you to feel that way at all!
I would have staged a protest sit in at the hospital reception by now  stick to your guns and call daily, in my experience the squeaky wheel gets oiled the fastest!
I hope you get follow up very soon  

sorry for my multiple typos in my first reply my predict text on my phone played merry hell with what I first wrote! Grrr 

Unless there is an extremely good reason for this, that is poor. I’d ring first thing. Mental torture. 

Hi Janice1

i feel so upset and angry for you, this is a very poor way to treat somebody at such a worrying and vulnerable time. Any wait is bad enough, but the constant delay is terrible. I hope that you get news very soon and that it is the best news

You could raise with them the impact on you of their actions, so that they can reflect on what they can do better for the next patient .

wishing you all the very best x

Hi again - You have been treated badly.  Most results are in within the 2 weeks and you should have been called back.  It’s not right for you to be having this anxiety.  Definitely let your feelings out when you do hear back even if it’s just to release some stress.  Tell them the Macmillan girls are appalled …. sending more hugs and please keep in tough xxx J
