Absolutely fascinating.When I was diagnosed I asked my breast surgeon if stress had played a part. He said that the medical community believed that it did but that it hadn't been proven yet. In the three years prior to my diagnosis I experienced the worst stress of my life. The pull over to the side of the road thinking your having a heart attack kind of stress.https://nbcf.org.au/news/new-study-shows-chronic-stress-may-fuel-cancer-growth/

@kezmusc Hello! Hope you were able to have something soothing to lull you into a good nights sleep.You're naturally in fright mode. You have been strong and able and hopefully that fight mode will turn in and phone call made.I'm with you all the way! This starts out in the breast and next thing you know you have to have a vaginal ultrasound, not a damned one off, it becomes a repeat performance and you lose any sense of dignity.Who'd thought that a routine mammogram sets us off on paths unknown having to meet specialists and learn and understand terminology. Yeah yeah I know they're looking after us but geeeeezź!Dial that number when you can, deep breath and fingers crossed they're just checking you're okay!Take care and best wishes and willing you along for a good outcomeHugs

Thanks lovelies. Blood test is done and appointment is made for tommorrow. I just had the shits with it all. @iserbrown funnily enough I had the sonogropher I normally get for all the zillions of breast u/sounds. She looked at me and is like "What, no boobs out today?" Then saw what the referral was for and made comment about variety being the spice of life and we had a laugh. I really like this lady she is always very funny. We are on first name basis now.Hugs back to all.xoxoxox

Big hugs @kezmusc. Hopefully all is good and your dr is just being efficient calling you back. I get it tho, my heart skips a beat every time drs office calls! Some days sticking your head in the sand is the only way to cope. You'll surface again when you're ready xx

Having had 8 months of extreme stress before my mastectomy I was sure this contributed to my BC. I will read the article with interest !Thanks a lot for providing the link.Anne

Rant warning, I am in a somewhat less than amicable mood.Geezus is there anything that doesn't cause or help this thing grow????? Another hormone that needs a drug to stop it. Seriously with this many hormone manipulations going on we're all going to be a bunch of zombies eventually.Quite honestly I have just had enough of this whole fucking thing. I am sick to death of worrying. stressing, reading and trying to decipher all the conflicting information and "maybe" and "possibly" reports that you never hear any more about.I am playing ostrich at the moment. It took me three weeks to make the pelvic and internal u/sound for my newly acquired cysts and friends. I've had enough scans to last a life time and I just didn't want to go. I put off getting the bloods done as well, because I read they were checking for "tumour markers" that's never been done before. I was always told they weren't very reliable. Well, hello, let's just check them for shits and giggles shall we? The registrar has left a message on my phone yesterday to call him back as he has the results. Of course I highly doubt that is a good sign considering I have a clinic appointment in a week where they could have given them to me if there were no issues. The involuntary shaking started and I dropped my phone as soon as I heard his voice. It just blows me a way how your body can take over all on its own. Some kind of newly acquired fear response I guess. I am not a highly stressful or anxious person under normal circumstances, I never have been. Maybe it's nothing drastic and he was just following up??? Maybe. I haven't called back. I just don't want to know. FTS.

So after a bit of a sketchy start I have gone and gotten results for all scans and bloods. It appears that I need to stop overthinking things as the cyst is simple and no issue, all the other bits are back to normal, all bloods on the plus side of normal and tumour markers all clear. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woot woot. Big sigh of relief.
