Please help me. I found a lump in my right breast last Wednesday, saw g p on Thursday now I'm waiting for my clinic appointment. I've already convinced myself of the worst. I'm not eating, not sleeping, I just want to know now xx
The update on my biopsy results from yesterday are not good. I have Invasive ductal carcinoma, Grade 3 (aggressive). They also found a dense mass next to a very small lesion. They arent sure what it is, but i need another biopsy to determine the stage and what it is. If the cells are cancerous, I will have to have a mastectomy followed by chemo. If they are clear, I will be given a lumpectomy followed by either radiotherapy/chemo or both. All these outcomes weigh on the results of the second biopsy. My breast surgeon tells me it is totally treatable....for this, I am very grateful.
Not looking forward to the possibility of losing my hair...but I will always love and and choose life any day. My hair can grow back or i could wear a wig. For now, onward and upward, I am positive all will end well.
Sending huge hugs to everyone going through their journey, whether it be at the beginning, half way through or at the end xx
Hey lovley, sorry to hear it's not good news but your surgeon sounds confident it's fully treatable, which is a huge positive. I know it's hard to lose your hair but life is more important and you can get yourself a really funky wig to wear in the meantime. keep up the positive thoughts, cry when you need to, just let it out. You can and will get through it xx
Im doing fine...so far. I now have a date for the second biopsy, Dec 22. I then have to wait 2 agonising weeks for the results. Its far too long I think.... with Christmas and the New Year looming, the biospy date couldnt have come at a worse time! With all that said, Im still being positive and staying strong.
Thanks for taking the time to check in on me. Only one person out of my fantastic network of friends and family has gone through what I am going through now. Personally, I think hubby has had enough, although he doesn't say, but his facial and body expressions informs me otherwise. And its only day two!!!
Im trying my best not to be a nightmare, but all this as you know, is very new to me.
Sorry for going on. Being on here allows me to get things off my chest
Aw bless you, I'm only waiting for a mammogram result so can't imagine how you're feeling. The two week wait is insane. Surely you should be pushed through as a priority if they already know you have stage 3 aggressive?
im sure your hubby is fine, he's probably more worried about you than anything.
I do hope they tell you sooner, please keep me updated. I have my mammogram results on 15th Dec, so as soon as I know more I'll let you know.
Yes!! I thought so too. The way im understanding the process is that, they dont want to remove the breast if the smaller lump isnt canceous, that way they can save it by giving me a lumpectomy.
