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
Thank you. I’ve woke up with aches and pains today and immediately think the worst that it’s spread. The waiting is so scary and I’ve got myself into a state with worry that this is my last Xmas
