Grrrr!!!

I'm feeling so frustrated at the moment! I have had some soreness and swelling of my breast and under my arm. I went to my GP who sent me for an ultrasound yesterday. Whilst having the ultrasound the technician called the doctor in to have a look, which made me nervous. She looked and said there is something there but I will have to look at your old pictures for comparison. When are you seeing your surgeon? I said 20th September. She said can you call and get in earlier? Oh no!!!! NOT AGAIN!!! I went back to the GP today for the results and it says it looks like scar tissue but can't be positive unless I have a fine needle biopsy because it's a unusual shape. So I have to call my surgeon tomorrow morning and try and get an earlier appointment. Is this what's it's going to be like from now on??? I really hate this!!!! It's doing my head in. I really don't think it's anything to worry about, but this small part of me is saying what if it comes back?????

    Dear Penny,

    I've been there!!! As you know. Thinking of you dear friend and I have everything crossed for you!!  I hope you can get in earlier for your sake. The waiting around only makes you worry more.

    Take care and I will be sending warm hugs across this great country of ours!

    Stay positive and let me know how you get on.

    Love Alison xxxx

    Well the doc still thinks it's nothing nasty, but wants me to have a core biopsy next Wednesday, just to be sure. Thank you all for your msgs, will let you know when I get some results. Love Penny xxx

    Ah, girls,  reading through these messages I can say that it is wonderful to have similar women helping each other... no one knows how our wee brains can play havoc at these sort of times, do they? 

    I said to a doctor a few years ago that it is just not fair that we have to experience coughs, colds, back pain, sore joints or any other "normal"   ailments after all that we have endured! He agreed.
