    Thinking of you & crossing toes & fingers that the news is good Karen. 

    Keep calling whoever you need to get some answers before your next appointment - GP, breast care nurse, etc etc. 

    & keep venting here or doing whatever helps to cope with the stress & anxiety. You are not being ridiculous - you are scared, worried & anxious - as anyone would be in your position.

    Take Care

    Of course it's only natural for the bad thoughts to be circling round your head. A dense mass could be anything. They had told me the same thing in my good breast too. For me it just meant that the tissue was slightly thicker in places, nothing to be concerned about. Could be cysts? But someone has already said about the chemo you had had, would have dealt with things. we are all behind you. Have a good cry, it helps. But you are strong, you have come through so much already. Lots of hugs to you. Let us know how you get on. Xxxx

    Hi Karen, my first mammogram and ultrasound after my second diagnosis revealed suspicious areas in both breasts. I had a core biopsy straight after on my left breast and a stereostatic biopsy on my right breast a few days later. Unfortunately for me it was bad news. Don't know how it works where you go for checkups but if they haven't said anything about a biopsy then it may not be anything to worry about. Thinking of you and hoping everything is ok.

    I got a call this morning from the hospital at 8.00am. Considering they couldn't possibly fit me in any sooner, they have all of a sudden changed my appointment with the breast surgeon to tomorrow morning first thing. At least I will have an idea of what's going on sooner. Oh boy am I scared. I just keep telling myself what will be will be

    Hi All

    I saw the surgeon today and he is happy with the mammogram. He says that the dense mass is only a cyst. Why the hell they couldn't just tell me that I'm buggered if I know!!! Could have saved a lot of angst.  As you can imagine I am relieved beyond belief. Thank you all for your thoughts and support. 

    Hope you are all travelling well. Love Karen xox

    Woo hoo - that's terrific news Karen :) 

    Hopefully you can breathe a little easier now as you continue to move forward in your journey.

    So happy for you & yes totally agree - that news should have been delivered over the phone & then discussed in more detail during your appointment. 

    Go celebrate !!

    Regards Mel
