Hi there ...

It seems like you havnt been given the help and advice you need ... maybe they were trying to ease the way, telling your husband as you told them you have servere anxiety ... but no being trained or qualified , I thought they had to tell you your results ... as it's your right ... I think ..

Most lumps are benign ... and you could have lumpy boobs from breast feeding ... if I were you I'd ring McMillan and tell them what you've said here ... and ask them if you can chat to someone about what those results could mean .. there's a free phone on here too, where you can talk to our lovely nurses ...

You will have more anxiety not knowing what is happening ... and we were all scared when we had results ... but there's a groop of us Brest lasses on here ... I was diagnosed July last year ... and joined the threads ... lots have joined along the way... and wer all still here kicking cancers butt ...

I can't understand why anyone would say, if the results were negative,  they would ignore them ... I can only guess he heard that wrong .. as no one ignores a negative result ... the last op I had was calsification lumps ... and they were fine ... so hold on there and you need to have help from them explaining exactly what they meant ... 

Remember most lumps are o.k ... and fingers crossed so will yours ... but I know we hear a lot about people taken by breast cancer ... but there's a lot of us living with it too ...

Hopefully a few others will come on to chat ...  @Rilleyroo  and @Sandra123 will pop by ... we are all holding on and if you need a shoulder to lean on ... there's always someone here ...

Sending a vertual hug .... Chrissie x

Hi Chrissie

Thank you so much for replying. What I did gleam from the radiologist is that I do not have any palpable lumps at all. Just these spots of calcification. 

When she spoke to my husband I was in the room with her and this has only heightened my anxiety. I am so puzzled by what was said. It keeps going around and around in my head. 

So frightened, I'm making myself ill.

I myself haven't cancer but my husband is terminal. I also suffer from anxiety and we see the worst I every situation. Hope your meds are helping. They should have told you all at the same time as your husband because it isn't easy to remember everything. I would ring the nurses on here and ask them to try to clarify things for you Not knowing when you have anxiety makes it worse. Hoping for a good outcome for you. Hang on in there.

Sending hugs 

Hi there ...

I know this is extremely hard for you ... but your confusion is making you more anxious because your brain is now in panic mode ... and then the "what ifs" get in there too ... then it's overwhelming .... 

Understanding the truth, said as gently as possible will at least help you understand .... my calsification was benign. . There's so many positive outcomes ...there's lots of us here still standing. . I had a grade 3 breast cancer ... I thought my time was up ... I'd read so much about it ... but I'm still here and doing o.k ..

Nothing will stop the anxiety... but if you talk to your Dr,  he may be able to help you through with a anti depressant for a few weeks ... I took them, and they just took the edge off ...and I could cope ...

Not knowing what the situation is, won't change the outcome ... you need to come through this terror that your feeling , because you need to get a pair of vertual boxing gloves on, and get in the ring, and say ... I'm really scared but I will do whatever I have to do, for my little ones ... they need you to punch it right back ... I was just like you before I knew ... and a lovely lady helped me through ... we don't know how brave we are till our backs against the wall ... 

And keep in your head, no one has said it deffinatly is yet ... we get lots of people on here who are going through anxiety too ... it's far more common then you know ... when you go next... take a pen and paper with you ... get your hubby to write down exactly what they say ... and anything you don't understand, ask them to make it simpler so you know things more ... 

It's o.k to feel scared ... no one goes through this without those feelings ... it's human ... but it's comming through and you know there's lots of us with you ... things have come along way ... and I'd still hold out that thought , you were Brest feeding ... and a kick to the Brest could have just caused calsification ... and that can mean it's o.k ... mine was ... always here if you need a chat ...

Thank you all so much for your replies. My love for my children and husband is keeping me going. 

I wish the nurse hadn't said what she said. It seems so unprofessional. You probably have cancer...... Now off you go, see you in 2 weeks. 

Thank you everyone for your kind words. 

Xxxxx

Hi luna

I had calcifications, mine were abnormal (DCIS) and had to have them removed as they were ‘high grade’. I’m sorry the nurse was very negative - mine was also, I find some live for the drama ;) 

but I can assure you no surgeon would remove healthy breast tissue (negative biopsy) so the nurse is talking mince.
