THE RESULTS ARE IN...

Finally....
Okay, I DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT have breast cancer... I think I knew deep down that it was just a scare (easy to say now LOL).
I cannot tell you the sense of relief!!!!
I had a good long chat with the docs about treatment for the lump, and the nurse was incredibly helpful. I have declined the drugs for now, as the nurse had lots of great advice on what to do, what to cut out e.t.c so even though it means giving up on chocolate (gasp) and coffee (and red wine!!!) I'd still rather try that first. If that doesn't work, I'll take the drugs.
I have about a million leaflets to look through, all ways of reducing breast pain, and only if it gets too painful will I ask them to step in and do anything about it. Its not vanity, I'm not worried about scars, its more that I don't want to go through a surgery unless I really have to.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for your unwaivering support, you really helped me stay strong and not totally lose the plot.....
Love to you all

Awww that is awesome news! I am so happy that it all turned out fine! Please be sure to go regularly for your annual check ups. And make sure to do your own breast exams. Or better yet, have fun at it and teach the hubby how to rub them and what to look for! ;o)

thankyou so much everyone, it is as if a weight has lifted, its been taking over my thoughts for far too long.
your support is heartwarming.
yes, i'll be keeping an eye on it, and there are a couple of good suggestions here ;)
its weird, just knowing its not cancer has made it less painful...maybe psychological me thinks!
thanks again lovely people!
