Hi everyone,
I’ve not posted before, I found a lump about a month ago and had an appt at the breast clinic on Thursday last week.
I had convinced myself that it would be a cyst so was desperately unprepared for the news that it was a 2cm lump that they suspected was cancer. I was there for around 4 hours and ended the appointment being introduced to a Macmillan nurse! I couldn’t believe it- I was in a state of pure shock. I started the morning thinking I was a healthy individual and was told it would be a cyst, and ended it with a Macmillan nurses business card!
I’ve got a 2 week wait for my biopsy results to come back. The wait is torturous. It’s been 4 days since that appointment and I’m not sure how I’m going to get through the next 10 days. I feel very emotional, very up and down, convincing myself that it’s spread cos I’ve not had a smear test for 3 years and I’ve been getting spotting (I’m 43 so put it down to peri menopausal).
Do you think I should push for a phone appt? They did say they that they don’t like to do these, and prefer face to face - but coupe offer this sooner. I don’t know how anyone gets through this bit.
thank you for any advice.
Plus the ultrasound I think - they told me on the spot too. It was shocking news to hear when 30 seconds before I thought it was a cyst 
It’s a really really good point! So good in fact I think I will feed that back to the Leeds service. I had gone on my own and when I left I was so distressed I couldn’t even remember how to phone for a taxi!
I feel like you are getting stronger already !
