DD

[Oma]

DD came today to let us know she had had a scare this week , turned over in bed and found a lump in her breast, it was the size of a tangerine , went to Dr's the next morning and he sent her straight to Breast clinic . After lots of tests Mammogram etc it was found to be a very large cyst , they have drained it and consultant said it must have filled very quick that's why she hadn't noticed it till it was large , they discharged her said nothing to worry about biopsy showed nothing sinister .
When she told me I felt sick to my stomach I was a bit angry she hadn't told me sooner but could understand she didn't want to worry me further with all that's going on with her Dad . She's my baby girl and always will be no matter how old she is , I know she's ok but I feel very weepy over it it scared the life out of me . I don't think I could cope with anymore trauma in my life . All I can think of she must have felt so scared

Oh Oma terrifying for you and your DD, thank goodness it was found to be a cyst and nothing sinister. They may be adults, but to us they are always our babies.

[Enfys]

Oma, so glad it turned out to be harmless and good for your Dd for getting it checked out so quickly. It's horrible when you have scares like this xx

[Oma]

I felt sick I thought OMG what if it had been , as you say Libra always our babies even at 43 .
Enfys she wasn't leaving it she was at the Dr's at opening time , but that wait must have been hell with all sorts going around her head

Wise girl! Obviously inherited her Mother's common sense and did ALL the right things. ( I include the keeping it to herself bit...you would have done the same Oma, now wouldn't you?)
Relieved to hear all is well now. 😉

[Enfys]

That's what I meant Oma, she acted very quickly, wise girl.

Oh my goodness Oma. So scary. Thank goodness your DD is OK. I have had cysts drained on a couple of occasions.Although they reassure you, you can't be sure they are only cysts until they drain them.

Don't be cross Oma, be proud,she is so brave. I didn't tell my mum or DDs until I knew it was nothing as I didn't want to worry them. That she did that proves she is putting you first.
.
I know how you must feel. My DD1 had a scare a year or 2 ago, and it is every mothers nightmare, something amiss with your children..
I'm so pleased all is well Oma xxx

[Oma]

Thanks ladies , I've just been on phone to her just to check she's ok I couldn't help myself 😊 we couldn't talk in detail as Josh was hear but he had gone to pictures when I rang so could have a good talk , I had a cry I just couldn't hold it back but she really is ok thank goodness , I was telling Gem and the others when we were in York that Brian and myself have agreed after he has his transplant I can have 2 days to have a nervous breakdown then pull my socks up again 😀 DD said we'll you have Monday and Tuesday and I can have mine on the Wednesday and Thursday hahaha

I'm so pleased for your DD Oma,what a distressing time for her but she is so so brave and well done to her GP for the quick referral and the mammogram centre for the speedy
test results they really are first class aren't they ?

Oma - it must have been the most awful shock for you, and even though it's thankfully harmless, that sense of shock stays with you. Add that to the ongoing worry about Brian and no wonder you wanted a good cry! Sending you great big hugs and a packet of the finest cotton hankies in case you need another good weep before the shock subsides.

Your DD was very brave, very sensible and as others have said is still your baby. xx

[Oma]

I'm a little calmer now but still feel myself getting watery eyes when I think about it ,does this worry about our children ever stop ? 😕😊

[Daisy]

Oma - no, we never do stop worrying about them. I sitting here now waiting for my 44-year-old DS to phone to says he's got home safely!!! If you feel weepy just go with it - it takes time to get over a shock like that. Be kind to yourself. xx

So pleased everything was clear, DD wouldn't have worried you, you have enough on your shoulders.

[Mimi]

Oma I am really pleased that you DD is ok, it's easy to understand why she didn't tell you immediately, she wanted to spare you any worry., which to be honest you would have done exactly the same if it were you in that situation wouldn't you. We always try and protect the ones we love , and she loves you Oma !
I can understand how you must have felt, and even though it all turned out ok it doesn't stop your mind going through 'what if' situation.
Give her a big special mum cuddle when you see her again.

[Oma]

Thank you ladies , didn't sleep last night , your right Mimi it was all the what ifs going round my head , I know she's fine but I just couldn't settle . Rang my sister this morning and we had a chat about it , she has 4 girls so understands the way was feeling her oldest had a scare about 2 years ago too. Consultant said he thinks it's hormonal related , said she could get more or never again , and because of her age 😲 she's 43 for gods sake not 63 😊
