Just got the bone test results and they were a positive as well, just need to the biopsy to be good then I'm sweet. So far the X-Ray is the only one so far that has been a negative with the MRI and Bone scan being good so it's still in tha balance. I'm feeling really relaxed atm but I have like a random empty feeling for some reason. No matter the result I'm so grateful to have your boys' support over the last 3 days.

I found a lump in my breast last year. 3 days before I could see the doctor and then an urgent referral to the breast clinic. Had to wait more than a week before I got seen. My partner was away for the week and i wasn't at work and had the kids home for school holidays. I had to go back to the doctor during the week to get something for the stress. I had not seen my regular doctor as a locum did the initial exam. She also felt the lump as I was obviously worried and I trust her. She said she couldn't say for certain what it was but thought it was likely it was a benign cyst. She was right.

The point I am trying to make is that doctors are usually pretty close mouthed if they think something might be terribly wrong. They don't rush to tell you it is a benign tumour unless they really think it is. Of course they cant be 100 % certain which is why you need the biopsy but I would try and hold onto the positives of your doctor thinking it is benign.

While i was going through my little scare I relied heavily on some wonderful kennelers.

Good luck with the biopsy

Dr Invisible sounds a lot like Dr Google. Dr Google told me I had a rare and aggressive form of cancer that basically had no survival rate because once you had discovered it it had already spread.

Yep. All sorts of scary thoughts. You can't help but think how it will affect the kids. Thank goodness benign cysts are a common cause of breast lumps. Still a horrible experience.
