Hello Husband111

I'm sorry to hear that your wife is currently waiting for the results of a breast biopsy. It's natural that you're feeling anxious about the results and what they may mean for her. 

I know we've had a similar question posted on the forum before and we didn't have any members here who had CP and were undergoing treatment for cancer. I'd suggest giving our team of nurses a call and chatting through your concerns and questions with them. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support that they can ahead of your wife's results. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

In the meantime, it's worth keeping in mind that the majority of women seen in breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer so try to remain as positive as you can. 

Do let us know how she gets on. 

Best wishes,

Hiya. I'll prefix this and say my wife doesn't have CP. 

There's different chemo for different types. Plus, not everyone that gets a BC diagnosis even gets chemo. Which type, if any is to be given, all depends on a number of factors. How extensive the cancers is, which type of BC it is, the aggressiveness, etc etc.

Even those on the same chemo have different experiences. It's an individual thing. One of the types my wife was on, she had a very rough time on it, yet there are other women who have nowhere near the same experience as she did.

IF, and it's a bif "if", she does get the dreaded news, the best person to ask is the oncologist. They specialise in chemo drugs. It's what they do (well, there are different kinds of oncologists, but most do). The nurse(s) you get assigned are also very knowledgable. 

As Jenn stated above, most lumps come back as benign.
