love Lara ️

Hi Lara 

Thank you so much! They said a week to 10 days... 

Kind of feel in shock today but I guess that's normal and will pass as the days go on.. 

Hope all is okay with you 

Hi Sunshine_up, I am also 50, recalled after routine mammogram and then had an ultrasound and biopsy. The doctor told me then that she was sure I would need treatment - I'm assuming some cell samples are more obviously suspicious than others? And most do turn out to be innocent. All the best for your results. I hope you get good news and that your daughter's exams are going well xx

Sunshine 

I'm doing well thank you 

I had breast cancer in July 22 now fully recovered and back to normal life 

as case 4 said I was also told at my first appointment that it looked suspicious , howver lots of ladies here post good results and have a clear health bill after breast clinic 

do stay here for support and chats we are all here for you 

take care love Lara ️

Hi Case4 

Thank you, I've told my daughter to not worry too much, going through this uncertain time puts a different perspective on things. 
 

When do you get your results? That must be so worrying for you to know that you may need treatment. Here's hoping it becomes a not needing any treatment for you

But have to say I'm impressed so far at the speed of everything

Please share how you get on..

Hi Laraj

Oh wow, that's amazing, so pleased that you are now recovered!  
Thank you for sharing, it really helps everyone to read about good news and to also support others still waiting or those who are still going through their journeys..

HI Sunshine_sp,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

More people are recalled after their first mammogram, than subsequent ones. This is because there is nothing to compare this one to, whereas with subsequent ones, they can always compare their findings to your previous mammogram. Waiting for results is always a worrying time. For every 10 people who attend the breast clinic, only 2 will receive a cancer diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous and although they may look suspect on a scan, it is only by biopsy that a diagnosis can be confirmed.

This is an unfortunate time for you to be diagnosed with your daughter doing her GCSEs. I hope that they go well for her, despite this upset.

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy and then a double mastectomy. That was 13 years ago and I have never looked back. I still lead a busy and fulfilling life.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi sunshine_up, I had my results end of Feb, 12 days after biopsy. In my case, it was cancer but early and the treatment has been surgery (end March) followed by radiotherapy for five days starting end May. The treatment for me has not been too invasive and I can say that I forget about it most days now. I hope your outcome is good - there are plenty of conditions that can cause changes in breast tissue - and that you're not finding the waiting too traumatic (though honestly, it's hard not too!!) 

Hi Jolamine 

Thank you for your message, before joining I had read through a lot of chat threads and you have provided support to so many  

I'm just about holding it together but I know it's all this anxiety and worry is based on the fear of the unknown and not what is actually happening - trying to keep it in check! 
Happy face at home is not always easy when a single parent, but hey.. in less than two weeks (hopefully) I will have facts and not just my active imagination wreaking havoc on me. 
 

Thank you for your kind words 

xx

Hi Case4 

I'm so sorry that you have had to face that and despite it you sound very calm! I guess what I've been reading on here is true that once you know what you are dealing with, it's easier to digest and work with. 

How are you feeling about your soon to be radiotherapy? I am sending you lots of good and healthy wishes for then

And thank you so much for your supportive words! I think one fear I have is not necessarily being told I have cancer as such  but that it's advanced.. 

Guess I'll know soon enough! And I'm looking forward to joining you in getting to a point where it doesn't monopolise my every waking thought!
