Had my breast biopsy last week and the result came back as negative for cancer - what a relief!! thanks everyone for your kind thoughts when I first mentioned this issue.
What a relief. I had a scare of my own, due to transplant meds and immunosuppression a couple weeks ago. So far, not cancer. I know the relief you are feeling!
I also had a scare last month and was sent to a one stop clinic at my local hospital and it turned out to be a cyst. But the waiting and not knowing is horrible and I am really glad you are clear too.
Natalie do you have to have any more tests? I ended up just having a check and an ultrasound but there seemed to be alot of other things that they could do. I also think everywhere should have a one stop clinic as in most cases you are told the diagnosis on the day and there is less waiting. Also it is worth remembering that 90% of lumps are benign.
That must be such a relief for you Amanda - I'm so pleased you're ok.
I too had a cancer scare earlier this year when the unit thought I may be developing PTLD (until they discovered it was glandular fever) - was scared witless.
