Tomorrow I have to have something I hate more than COPD or anything else I have to do. It only hurts when it's being done which doesn't really take long, it isn't really the doing it is the waiting afterwards, which can be two weeks. What is it? I have to have a mammogram, I had breast cancer fifteen years ago and I am terrified it will come back because I don't think I could cope as well as I did then. Oh well, keep smiling.

You're not short of courage carol and you've come to the right place for support.
Whatever personal gripes some of us may have my guess is we all put them aside and stand together when one of us is in serious need.
Two weeks of waiting and not knowing when it is of such serious nature is not something I could deal with and stay level headed. We'll be here should you need to rant and look forward to you coming to tell us you're all clear.
Best of luck and all good wishes,
Chris
Hi Carole, hope you don't mind me replying, I'm new here and have not 'spoken' to you before ......
I have had a lung cancer scare about 6 months ago, and I know how hard I found the couple of weeks waiting for the Xray results.... thankfully negative!
Try to be positive, the Xray can only help you, it either reassures you that all is well ..... and why shouldn't it be ..... I imagine you check for lumps, so you would already have some idea, and of course X rays also give us the all important early warning that we need if we are ill and can be got better
hi caroleoctober,nice to hear from u.i had a mammagram then went back 2days later for the biopsy needle 5 pows and was done,they took a cluster of calcium out and the last shot was a reference chip they put in,bit awkward really wen there doing it but was ok,pain free,u be fine, think its the waiting wat gets to us,take care
Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow Carole. Be positive. xxx
We're all routing for you Carole - grit your teeth for tomorrow - you will be in our thoughts xx
Wishing you the very best fingers and all crossed. I know what your going through my sister in law went through the same just before xmas. My prayers are with you to give you the strength to get through this.
Hoping everything is fine Carole. Breast cancer is a horrible disease. I have been for one or two of them and they don't half hurt! It's like being squeezed in a vice.
Hope al goes well for you, I'm sure it will. I had BC just over 18 months ago and beat the little b****r. I will also be going back for another Mammogram in November, so I can relate to your anxiety. Fingers crossed for you - stay positive!
Meant to add that the BC was a breeze compared to the lung disease I now have - 'woken up' by the chemo according to a few of the specialists! Ho Hum...!
