I’ve just been diagnosed with lobular and have a mastectomy booked for 24 jan. In the meantime I need a ct scan. I’m petrified that they’ll say they’ve found something else, although I don’t have any other symptoms just feel so lonely. Please can anyone give me some positivity. 

  • Hi there, I remember being terrified when I was referred for a CT scan to check if it had spread, this panicked me more than anything else.  I spoke to a friend who is a radiographer and deals with this all the time and he really reassured me that it's pretty normal to be referred for a scan and pretty unusual for them to find anything.  I took a lot of comfort from that.   I hope this helps you a little, these early weeks of diagnosis and waiting for results are the hardest. Best wishes
