So the lump in my breast is sadly not a figment of my imagination.

i have been putting off going to the doctors about it, i cancelled appt twice then went and told her about other stuff instead
so i went yesterday, and she said yes there is a lump which is suspicious and neat?, now i am liking the neat bit but not really keen on suspicious.
so i have been refered to the hospital where steve had all his treatment, i will get an appointment within 2 weeks.
it is going to be a long two weeks i think.
does anyone know how long i will have to then wait for the results of the tests, will they tell me straight away?

Has anyone heard from OJ yet?

LilRedWG · 17/11/2008 21:03

I've had a couple of texts from OJ (she does know that I'm updating you all).

Basically, they have run tests and taken biopsies today and she's got to go back on Thursday for the results.

She is very sore (as you can imagine) and has had stitches. She is, "Feeling too rough for rum and coke!"

I'm sure that OJ will be back on here soon, with her very sore nork.

wiggleit · 17/11/2008 21:17

Oh LilRedWG, give my love to oj and tell her i am thinking of her and have everything crossed for her (including my eyes....not a good luck!! ) Hope she is ok.xxx

Twink · 17/11/2008 21:38

Thanks for that LilRedWG, will continue to hop with crossed legs until Thurs. xxx

Lilyloo · 17/11/2008 22:14

Thanks LRW hope it all turns out good and she will be celebrating here on Thurs with a rnc!!!

onlyjoking9329 · 18/11/2008 07:42

sorry to keep you all waiting i was a little tired and sore last night and the phone was quite busy.
went to hospital, my mate took me, it's fair to say i was nervous.
having phoned ahead to warn them of my latex allergy, imagine if you will my joy when we walked into the breast screening place to be greeted by a lovely display of pink breast cancer balloons
so legged it throu as quick as.... a quick thing.
had a doctor have a look at me, she sent me for a scan then to see the boob doctor.
boob doctor said he needed to take a sample of the lump so i had a local whilst he made a cut and whipped 2 bits out and then shoved some stitches and a dressing on, told me to rest for 24 hours and no lifting
he didnt offer to help with childcare thou
i need to go back on thursday afternoon for the results, i was disappointed cos i was expecting the results the same day, so now i just need to wait.

Norksinmywaistband and oj, thinking of you both and keeping everything x'd

Norksinmywaistband · 18/11/2008 08:43

I don't get my results til monday, so it looks like my local hospital is a bit slower than yours.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
The biopsy is really sore for a couple of days, so keep yourself dosed up on paracetamol

LilRedWG · 18/11/2008 08:46

Norks - sorry that you are going through this too.

OJ - hope you got some sleep last night.

bellavita · 18/11/2008 08:46
