Sending positive vibes your way pepperminty, the waiting is awful I know.

Fingers and toes crossed that it’s a good outcome. But remember, even if it isn’t, your team will already have a plan in place for you.  :foryou:

I would avoid anything after surgery because any return of disease may be hidden partiucalry with implants.  They R 2 dense to show on mammogram.

It's awful that the Dept left U with so little information!  U mayB offered a dedicated breast cancer Nurse too should it be necessary.  Let us know how you get on.

Just to clarify, as explained by Bombsh3ll mammograms are NOT done on the mastectomy side(s) irrespective of whether implants are present or not.

Pepperminty, I've got everything crossed for you, it's a long wait, a cruel wait in many ways.

I was so relieved a few months ago when my breast lump was benign. It's still there, but it's just a lump of debris, not cancerous and I really hope you are told the same.

Like you say, everything stops when you are told it may be cancer. The brain focusses all your energy onto the danger even though you can't do anything about it.

My Dad does have cancer however and I have to say his NHS team are second to none. If you do have cancer they will be there for you, it's one part of the health service that seems to be working well.

When do you find out?
