Hi, I’ve just spent a day or two reading through people’s posts and have found it oddly comforting to be here with others in a similar situation, sorry if I ramble.
I recently went for a CT of my lungs as I’ve had a cough for months and the doctor wanted to make sure everything was ok. When I went back for the results on 29th February he showed me my clear lungs and said all ok, then explained the CT had made an incidental discovery of a lump on my right breast.
As I have free Bupa cover through work, I was referred to a breast clinic and had my appointment last Friday - the doctor felt for the lump and located it so said I would have a mammogram and ultrasound scan. During the scan he decided there and then to do a core needle biopsy.
The doctor gave no indication of anything, just said she’d see me next Friday (tomorrow) - my appointment is meant to be at midday but the doctor’s secretary emailed Tuesday to say there’s a delay with histology and I might need to wait to Monday. I know it can’t be helped but the waiting is like a rollercoaster.
I know the odds are in my favour (I’m 46 with no known family history of breast cancer) and is more likely to be benign than anything else but I really do hope it’s tomorrow so I will just know what is happening.
Sounds like a good plan. My distraction was getting a beautiful blow dry
Lovely! The colour is beautiful too. I took the afternoon off work yesterday and had my nails done as a treat (something I’d never normally do)
