Anxiety about Breast clinic appointment

How is everyone doing ️ 

4 days to go to my appointment but my anaxity is not settling so anxious and worried I'm trying to do normel things but feel so anxious and worried 

Hi Bella098, I'm new to this forum but have very recently been through surgery to remove a lump in my breast, also had two sentinel nodes removed. The waiting is the absolute worst part of this but agree with the others who have replied, you may not need a biopsy but if you do I promise it does not hurt. The doctors and nurses where I went were all so nice and do their best to put you at ease,hey explained everything to me before they did anything. Hope this helps a bit, also I find music relaxes me and helps to take my mind off things. I've been singing along and dancing to my favourite music all morning lol.  Glad I live alone and can do this.

No idea why those emojis are in that reply x

Hi Bella 

The anxiety waiting is horrendous I’m sure we all

agree. 
people will say don’t worry you’ll be fine but none of that sinks in.

i tried to think of the positives for me , maybe that may help you.

Your positives are your GP wasn’t worried,

it’s very common to have cysts in the milk ducts that are nothing but benign.

the percentage of a non cancerous diagnoses is higher than a cancer.

At this moment in time you are fit and well, it’s only your mind playing tricks.

We’re all thinking of you and have all been in your position xxxxxx

Hi Bella98

In the kindest way - You should give yourself a break. It is ok to be anxious. We have all gone through it. Sometimes you just need to say it like it's a mantra because it may help you to calm down. We all have felt different emotions during the waiting period and different ways to cope. 

Here's a virtual hug from me to you

Thanks dear for replying and kind words

Hi everyone how is all doing .

I'm going on Tuesday for appointment in breast clinic but my anxiety is on the roof again feel so sacred and anxious!

I'm not scared about appointment or go to clinic but I'm sacred about results. I came back here because I received lot of love and sopport here ️ 

Hi Bella098 , great place here for love and support. Nothing I say will stop you from worrying but we’ll all be with you in spirit when you have your appointment. Glad it’s soon, somehow Tuesday will arrive and you’ll know what you’re dealing with. I will just say that it really is true that most lumps and bumps are not cancer. Over the years I’ve had numerous referrals, which turned out to be ….. nodular breasts (whatever they are, GP felt them during what was then a routine examination as I was on the pill); duct ectasia; a fibroadenoma; cysts; finally cancer at the ripe old age of 59. I will be hoping that you leave the clinic with a diagnosis of something benign. But if it’s not, breast cancer is so treatable nowadays and you’ll get so much support here. Keep posting and let us know how it all goes. Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

Hi Bella. I've got my plan of attack meeting on Tuesday too. Maybe I'll be on here crying on your shoulder? 

We all seem to support eachother on here. There's always someone who's been there before and got through. Someone to offload too. And someone to at least try and help mentally. 

Good luck tomorrow 

Love and hugs xxx

Bella 098 How did you get on today ? Xx
