So good news straight off - in this case preserved ejection fraction just means normal THANK YOU! Scar tissue at back and bottom of LV.

But the MRI picked up a breast lump, probably cystic. GP is flummoxed as it was only August I had a full boob MOT. She’s contacting Addenbrookes to see if they just forgot to mention it, otherwise it’s back there for more fun. The lump they’ve found this time is in other boob to the bruise so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I’m so over having my chest imaged for various reasons. Now wishing I’d gone page 3 when I had the chance....

I’m going for the how many uncomfortable procedures in the chest area in 6 month record.

My GP asked me if I knew where the lump was! First I knew of it!!!!

I’m going to get a t-shirt printed ‘LUCKY’

Great news about your EF, not so great about the lump they think might be cystic that will now have to be investigated using all those 'fun' ways they have.

Which is your preference, before or after the festive season for the investigation, are they giving you a choice of timing on the tests (biopsy?)? I have a friend who ended waiting four months to hear hers was 'just a cyst' - she didn't endure the wait as well as she would have liked but honestly I was awed at her fortitude during the wait.

Hi, i was just wondering if perhaps it could be ..Fibroids i was called back twice because of these lump. .Also had to go to the Cancer Clinic in Cardiff. But things turned out right in the end 👍.

Hope you'll be okay, Good Luck. Gjkas x.

I think fibroids are in the womb....but I know what you mean.

This is about the 87559668433rd lump I’ve had, so I’m excellent at growing them. It’s the faff really.

That and ‘I thought we were imaging the heart’!

Thanks x

No, i thought Fibroids were only in the womb as well. But you can get them in the breast as well. I had 3 of them..

Good luck with everything else..

Oh, I thought the boob ones were fibroadenomas! That’s what they called one I had!

Oh i don't know then.

When he told me ,he just said that they were Fibroids.

But I've had no trouble since .🤞

Did you have any problems with the one you had ?.

I’ve had: 1 x fibroadenoma (removed)

1 x cyst (drained)

2 x suspicious micro calcifications (biopsied)

Haematoma following brutal echocardiogram

And now this. Everything else was on the left, so it’s a bit of variety on the right!

I’m not worried, it’ll be another benign something.

Oh i dont know, between all our lumps and bumps. I've got 2 Cysts in the right kidney and 1 on the Pancreas. I've had 2 removed from my head a couple of year's ago, but I have another small lump near where one of the other one was removed.

I'm not going to the Doctors about it.

I've got so many health problems and I'm sick to death of being in hospital for one thing and another. Enough is Enough.

I read what you said about having a

T Shirt made with LUCKY printed on the front. I've got 2 T SHIRTS about Fibromyalgia printed on them.

It's unbelievable how many people have never heard of Fibromyalgia. But when they see my T SHIRT they always ask me what it is. So I'm doing a little bit of Fibromyalgia Awareness when I go to the Hospital or G.PS..

I'm housebound except for when I have these appointment. My HUSBAND does all the Cooking, Cleaning, Washing etc..

He's my Carer,i haven't been out of the house except to keep these appointments for 5 years..

NIGHT NIGHT. x.

Ugh. So Addenbrookes happy the wayward lump is a cyst. Came home to a letter from Northants to go to breast clinic on 16th!

My gut says check with GP before cancelling the new appt.

These are the complications of living in one health authority, GP being in another and cardio managed by a third!
