Ive just found a lump in my boob.....

PleaseletitbeOK · 21/06/2005 21:11

and I am really scared.

I had cervical cancer at a very young age and have been really careful about living healthy and looking after my body.

I have been feeling really groggy for the past couple of months and getting very tired.

Today I am acheing all over and have had the most horrific headache.

DH has been a complete angel and is taking ocver and looking after everyone in the house whilst I rest. He ran me a bath so I could go and have a soak and I have found a lump in my breast.

Im so scared to tell him because he lost his mother to breast and cervical cancer. It has been his biggest fear that given my history and the fact I have been on HRT for nearly 15 years that one day I will tell him I have found a lump.

Im really scared.

I don't 'know' you but have been watching your thread and hoping for the best for you. So glad it's good news (on the whole) and at least they found out about the bit of tissue left behind from your hysterectomy now and can sort it.

TinyGang · 14/07/2005 10:46

So pleased it's good news. You must be incredibly relieved after all the horrible waiting and worry. Sorry though you have to have some surgery - hope it all goes well. You've been really brave

oh excellant news.

kid · 13/07/2005 22:35

Thats good news JM, good of them to phone you to tell you the news rather than make you make an appointment.

jayzmummy · 13/07/2005 22:33

Update.

Consultant phoned me at home tonight and Ive had excellent news and some not so good.

The lump is a Fibroadenoma...begnign lump.Phew!!!!
Im having it removed as given my past history its best not to leave it. Surgery in next 4-6 weeks time.They are also going to fix the problem of my inverted nipple....which has been caused by my body aging before its time! Its all due to the fact I had a hysterectomy at 21 and the menopause at 19. Apparently my body thinks its 20 years older than it really is...and it feels it somedays!!!!

Bad news....when I had my hysterectomy some residual tissue was left behind by mistake and I need to have surgery to remove the tissue as its far to high risk to leave it in place.

Thanks to everyone for your support and kind words....Ive appreciated them all.

jayzmummy · 09/07/2005 20:57

Im going to phone the hospital on Monday afternoon if I havent heard anything...the wait is just sooooo long.

dejags · 09/07/2005 11:25

Just to let you know still thinking of you, the wait must be hellish, sending you positive vibes

madrush · 05/07/2005 14:34

Just read your thread JM, I really hope this turns out to be benign for you. I am shocked at the wait you're going through though & can imagine how difficult it is. I found a lump shortly after dd was born which fortunately turned out to be a cyst. Hope yours does too, thinking of you. Don't try and be too brave for everyone else, you're allowed tears of shock and anger too.

Dingle · 05/07/2005 14:21

More cyber hugs to keep you going!! Had a quick look at your new site. You are obviously keeping yourself busy!!

love Dingle.xx
