Couple of weeks ago my wife notices some irregularities in one of her breasts. Not a lump, but some other hings not quite right. She goes to the doctor who says "this is all very odd" and sends her off for a scan.
She gets the results of the initial scan and heads back to the doctor who this time says "sorry to break this to you...but these scans are not good. I need to send you off for more tests and a biopsy...if they offer you cancer counselling, I'd suggest you take it. This type of irregularity can often be a sign of extremely aggressive cancer".
So the next few days waiting to get the tests done were pretty sombre. Lots of crying and just a giant pall over our lives.
Friday we go to the specialist surgeon...she looks over the original scan and doesn't look as worried...but she was still quite concerned.
Had the tests done later that morning...an ultrasound, an MRI, another unscheduled ultrasound, 3D mammogram, biopsy...all pretty full on and very emotionally draining for her.
Then was told it would be a week before we'd get the results. Horrid weekend...just rank her contemplating death and me thinking all sorts of terrible outcomes.
Then out of the blue we get the results today. All clear!
I have to say, the sense of relief was just overwhelming. I haven't seen my wife yet since she got the news...I think we'll be due a little celebration tonight!
I know many don't have happy "cancer stories"...so my thoughts are with all those doing it tough.

- Thanks again everybody. Was benign fibrous tissue or something...before diagnosis can apparently be a more dangerous sign than a lump.BusterBoy
