Hi there - sorry you are in this situation. I can understand why you are so worried - the waiting is really, really awful. It's good you found this site because everyone here understands just what you are going thro' & you'll find support when you need it. I don't know anything medical at all but I think it's fair to say that you may have read a bit too much into the snippets you heard. (Don't we all!) There's no magic formula for getting thro the days until Thursday (i wish there were) but keeping busy is best if you can manage it.

Keep posting as & when you need to. All the very best for Thursday & please do let us know how you get on. Thinking of you. x

Thank you very much Purrfect for your kind reply. Yeah I think I have googled every question imaginable whilst I have been waiting.. I know I shouldn't but can't help it. Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to keep myself busy. Best wishes. X

Just wanted to send massive hugs to you . I hope everything comes back ok for you. And if it doesn’t I hope you get all the best support there is. X

Hi 

just feeling exactly like you ! Went to the doctor yesterday and she was worried because the mass in my left breast is very large and not defined! Got the appointment to the breast clinic in 10 days but I’m worried sick! Since the day  I found out about the lump I’m not living anymore, my mind goes to the worst scenario, I can’t sleep and eat ...have nobody in here as I’m far from home and my country and I don’t want to worried my mum on the phone .. ...It’s overwhelming and I don’t even know the diagnosis  yet...

Thanks so much x

Sararose, that's exactly how I am feeling. Where about are you? I live in Scotland, near Edinburgh. I'm trying to stay busy. I am off work and my job is stressful (I'm a support worker) and I can't deal with it whilst I'm going through this. Are u working? Feel free to message me here. We can go through this together. X

Hi worriedfifer

Thank you for your reply :) I live in England near Bristol. Yes unfortunately I’m working but is very hard when your mind goes to these terribile things. I think that having no one close to talk to is not helpful at all :( 

I really hope all the best for your results tomorrow, waiting time is one of the most terrible thing at the moment,I’m trying to stay busy like you but is not easy, every seconds I check my lump if is still there and seems gettin bigger every day! I really panicking I can’t help...can’t wait to be all over...please keep me updated  with your results!  xx 

Hi worriedfifer

Just wondering if you have anyone, maybe a friend, to come with you to get your results? Often it’s hard to take everything in at these appointments and another pair of ears is very handy. I went in for my results on my own, but took my partner to every other appointment. In retrospect I should have had someone with me. xx

Thank You all for your replies. Not good news for me today  went myself to get results... I'm a mess. I have grade 3 invasive breast cancer in breast and lymph node which is aggressive and fast growing and have to go for bone scan and liver scan next week to see if has spread further. They said I will need chemotherapy first then either lumpectomy or mastectomy and radiotherapy. Doctor said prob 5 to 6 months of treatment .  I'm.devestated and feel alone and also scared because I'm a single.parent with bills to pay... need to go break the news to my dad now. :(( 

Oh worriedfifer, I’m so sorry to hear this. 

I hope your scans will come back showing it hasn’t spread and that you’ll be able to get your treatment started. There are lots of lovely ladies with breast cancer on here who I’m sure will be able to offer support. I would suggest making a post in the newly diagnosed section, with a heading about your cancer where it should be easier to find. 

Meanwhile I’ll tag a couple of ladies who I know are very helpful. [@Marlyn]‍ [@Jolamine]‍ 

Hopefully they will see this and come along to chat. xx
