Hi so nearly two weeks ago I got told that I have breast cancer I had a ultrasound they done a biopsy which that how they know I had my first appointment with the breast cancer surgery specialist and they done bloods I was due to have few other scan and I had to go back in two weeks time so they can tell me what treatments that going to give me whenever it be surgery or chemotherapy but today they phone me said that they want to bring my appointment that I have in two week  forward for tomorrow and I haven’t had my other scans yet am so scared cos they brought it forward I suffer with anxiety and it through the roof but should I be worried and I can’t sleep 

  • Hello.....

    I'm sorry you found yourself on this site but understand why you are feeling anxious. You will find almost everyone worried as they wait for results and plans. 

    Don't be too concerned about the appointment being rearranged. I expect there is a simple explanation. I have just had a GP appointment changed......my GP is going to be absent on the day of the original appointment. Your doctor may have had a cancellation for today. The good thing is that you will know your plans two weeks earlier. You may still have to have the other scans or tests but sometimes the extra results won't actually alter a plan....just help to qualify information already available.

    Even if your appointment was brought forward so your treatment can start earlier, that too will be a good thing. The sooner treatment starts, the sooner you will begin to recover. Most treatment is successful these days so you have lots to be hopeful about for the future. My treatment was 10 years ago. It wasn't always easy but at the end my cancer was clear and so far , it has stayed away.

    I hope all goes well. Keep in touch with the news. If you feel like a chat or have questions....try the Awake thread. There is a lot of experience from the posters there who are at all stages of treatment and beyond.

    Take care and I will be thinking of you today. 

    Love Karen
