Hi all,sorry haven't been on for a few days,if anybody has been accepted in the last couple of days congrats and sorry i missed the post.Anyway my feet haven't touched the floor the last couple of weeks,what with us both having to get other jobs it's been manic.Anyway i went to the docs today as i have discovered a lump(hence ladies post).The doc wants me to have furthur tests and to be quite honest at this moment in time i'm sh*****g myself.I just feel like i should lay down so that the next bad thing can take a run up to kick me.What i'm most worried about is because our proposals are on hold, awaiting news of Shaun's new wage the phonecalls are now getting worse and all i can do is explain that we are sorry that our proposals are taking so long but there are extenuating(sorry if spelt wrong) circumstances.I just want the protection of an IVA so we can concentrate on other things.Sorry to moan on i don't mean to be full of self-pity i just wondered if anybody else had been referred for furthur tests for this kind of thing?? any advise or experiences gratefully recieved

Aah Trees, sorry to hear of your plight. I personally haven't had any lumps ( touch wood) but a friend of mine did last year, she had to back for tests and thankfully everything was okay.

We're all here to help and support so please don't feel like its self pity -you moan away anytime.

Oh Trees you poor thing. I know two people who found lumps, one was a cyst and the other was something to do with her losing too much weight! Not sure what that means, but they were both fine. You are doing something about it now and that is the main thing. There is no point telling you not to worry because I'm sure I would but what I can tell you to do is DO NOT answer the phone! You don't need the added pressure of you creditors, not at this time, you are going to make yourself ill. Take care of you and keep us updated. Thinking of you. Viki X

oh trees. your having a time of it at the mo. just wanted to send my good thoughts. i sort of know what u going through, mid IVA proposal i got rushed to hospital with a suspected brain annurism (spelling not great) spent 3 days in EMU having test after test whilst husband took unpaid leave to look after kids and fight off creditors on his own, all the while worrying about me. After everything we went through, there was always something else to top it. I was given meds and discharged. 3 days later my sister (31 years old) had a heart attack. again, she recovered. no more, i thought......WRONG....less than a week later received 3am phone call, sister in law (39 years old) had...u guessed it...a heart attack. you just cant make it up. My best friend tells me shes not visiting for a while coz my family are just so damn unlucky at the moment.
The upside is that, we are all fine....still hard times trying to keep up with various IVA complications etc but for those worries i have this forum and its amazing support. best of luck with EVERYTHING, try not to stress (easy to say i know) and your sure to have a lottery win soon [;)]

Trees, I haven't had any lumps but many of my friends have and they've all turned out to nothing to worry about. It's probably a cyst, I've heard them being called mice, because they can move around....not a very nice thought having mice running around your b**by's!! [:0][:0] lol.
Anyhow, it's good that it's been found early and your dr seems like a good-in getting it checked out, so try not to worry too much,

Hi all thanks for the fast replies.Yes the doctor mentioned a mammogram ,ultra sound and also the possibility of having a needle inserted to gain a sample! [:(]I'm trying not to think about it this afternoon,but i find my thoughts turning back to what ifs???anyway once again for all your kind replies, yes Rollercoaster i do think you 'couldn't make it up 'and at the moment i don't want to get out of bed in the morning for fear of whats going to happen next!!!

TREES, I am so sorry to hear of your health problems and I do sincerly hope you get good news. This is the last thing you need right now.

Rollercoaster, can anything get much worse for you? I think I would have crumbled by now. I think you are being really brave and you still have time to come on here and congratulate the rest of us and have a bit of a laugh as well.

I'm sure things must start getting better for you soon.

sending u: a giant hug xx

the hug is for trees

thanks Kallis, as we all know we all have worries on this forum, the nice thing is we can share them and support everyone. x

I'm so sorry to hear that Trees. All I can say is my aunt had a lump a few years ago and had a mammogram, needle biopsy etc and thankfully it was a cyst. You've done the right thing going to the doctors x

I'm sorry to hear about your problems as well Rollercoaster - why do these things always happen to nice people? There are so many horrible people out there who go through their life without any problems. My cousin and her husband have had a terrible run of luck - over the last few years both their businesses collapsed, her dad had a stroke and brain surgery, her mother in law died and a couple of days later her husband's ex wife was killed in front of their children, her dad died and now her sister in law has been given 3 weeks to live.

These sort of things really make me realise how lucky I am, and I'm sending a big hug to Trees and Rollercoaster - I'm sure your luck will change for the better soon xxx

Hi there

You have really been through so much over the last while, it seems very unfair that you now have this to cope with.

Lots of lumps turn out to be totaly innocent and can be cysts, fatty tissue and all kinds of things.

They will probably start with inserting a needle into the lump and testng the results and as you say an ultra sound to see inside.

I know there is no point in me saying not to worry too much as that must be impossible at the moment just try to push your doctor to get the tests as soon as possible so you know.

Really thinking of you [:)]

It really does put your problems into perspective doesn't it when you hear about problems like these.

I sometimes think I am hard done by, but at least I have my health, a very supportive husband and a decent child (I obviously did something good there!)

I really feel for anyone with family/health problems on top of financial problems.

Trees.

Get Boocie to give you a special hug from mexxxx
