So much for good vibes. Scan day sucked . They've called me back.
This may come out not making sense as I am somewhere in between being scared shitless and f*/#&%g furious.
So after the mammogram and u/sound the doctor popped her head in (obviously they could see I was starting to freak out) and said there was no changes to last years scans. Gave me a smile and said goodbye. Phew.
I was feeling quite positive after that until the receptionist rang and said I needed to come back for another targeted ultra sound as the MRI had picked up something. The other two hadn't, yet again!
Oh and the doctor wanted me to go tomorrow and follow her to their other facility as she is only in Ipswich on Thursdays and wanted to talk to me.
So my head is in a mess and the tears are starting, my heart is pounding and I've got the shakes.
I don't know if I can do all that again. I know I am over thinking and not to freak out totally before I know for sure. But FAAARRRKKK this shit,

- Kiwi_AngelMember@kezmusc bugger that u still don’t know what it is!! I have an issue with imed that I found my original lumps 3 years ago and was told they were “nothing to worry about”. Still waiting for the outcome of my complaint about my surgeon too - was hoping for a result before Xmas.
@Zoffiel glad u got your drama sorted. What a clusterfuck. - arpieMemberBugger, @kezmusc - I HATE inconclusive results!! As you say, sort of good that it hasn't changed size or shape since the last MRI .... How long ago was that?
Fingers crossed it IS just scar tissue ..... maybe ask about a PET?Take care, buddy xx - FlaneuseMember@kezmusc Bugger.
- kezmuscMemberHey @Zoffiel,
No, I hadn't thought of a PET and no one has mentioned it. Maybe I should ask Santa for one for xmas. LOL.
From what I can feel by poking around it feels like and indentation, like a bit of a hole if I've got the right spot. The original tumour did end about a cm directly behind the nipple so maybe it is just the scar tissue. I am assuming by the time they got the margins it would have been even closer than that.
Who knows. - ZoffielMemberShitbags @kezmusc. Have you considered a PET? Horribly expensive but probably the only non surgical way of figuring out WTF it is. Unless, of course, you go feral and chew it out yourself. This stuff can piss right off, no-one has time for it. Mxx
- kezmuscMemberWell, I got my results back today and the mysterious white eliptical shape thingy that the MRI picked up last time is still there.
Hasn't changed in size or appearance which is good I guess. Still no answer as to what it is. Can't biopsy it as that can't be done in the MRI machine for guidance and the ultra sound can't pick it up.
So ho hum. none the wiser. - AfraserMemberGood news @Zoffiel, it's good to know that when they realise they have ticked the wrong boxes, they can put it right. Now with a little more effort, we can hope for the right boxes!!
- SisterMemberSaid woman needs to be reported @arpie so that she is unable to put you on the bottom of the list.
@zoffiel Such good news. - MeganMMemberHow awful for you and unfair
- arpieMemberThat's good news, @Zoffiel - I'm glad you've got that sorted!
Thanks for that @"Patti J" ...... Sort of - I'll have to do it sooner or later & won't be able to avoid traffic going to Port .... but it was supposed to be DONE by now! And sadly, it is too windy for fishing :(
Sadly, as my mobile phone has been playing up since they worked on a tower in town - I've had to give them my landline as the first contact ..... so I don't want to go too far from home now as I can't rely on Keith to take down the correct info or even answer the phone :(
I've shot a letter off to the Rad Onc, telling her exactly WHY I've become as stressed & emotional as I have - and it all boils down to the Radiology Dept she wants me to attend and the lady handling all the appointments (of all 10+ clinics.) She is an absolute cow & I have no doubt that she's putting my referral to the bottom of the list each day now! If she is treating EVERYONE like she's treated me, someone who is more vulnerable than I, could do themselves in! It is atrocious.
