Had core biopsy last Monday for speculated mass in breast .. been told highly likely it’s malignant .. waiting for results of biopsy.. can I ask how long have others had t wait ? Could it really be 3 weeks to find out?
Waiting times can vary from one clinic to another, depending on how busy they are. Most people get them within 1 or 2 weeks, but it's not unusual to have to wait for 3 weeks.
I am sorry to hear that they think that this could be breast cancer - how are you coping with this? I have had a couple of bouts of cancer and 1 of pre-cancer. On 3 occasions I was told by my consultant that he was pretty sure that it was cancer. He was right on 2 occasions, but wrong on the third. I am sure that this is an anxious time for you and I hope that you have some good support around you. Treatment can be challenging, but it's "doable" and I'm still living a busy and fulfilling life 16 years after diagnosis.
I hope that your results come through soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
I am delighted to hear that your appointment with the consultant is now for tomorrow morning and I hope that it goes well. Please let us know how you get on - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Not good news I’m afraid. It is breast cancer.. grade 3, got to have mri scan , ct scan and echocardiogram.. then see oncologist .. will be having chemo in next few weeks and after that surgery x
I am so sorry that you got this news. It sounds as if you have a challenging time ahead, but it's all "doable". Please keep in touch with your progress and remember that we are always here for you.
Hi Jolamine, had echocardiogram done this Tuesday and having mri and ct scans next Wednesday . Oncologist appointment the week after , so will know more then x
I'm glad to hear that you've had the ECG and that your MRI and CT scans are not far away. I expect that you'll know a lot more by the time you see the Oncologist the following week. I'm sure that you are anxious to start treatment now and it shouldn't be too log before that happens. How are you coping - are you managing to gradually come to terms with your diagnosis? Please remember that we are always here for you.
You'll get through it. It is a challenge, but it's "doable" and the good thing about starting treatment, is that you're starting to fight the cancer! Hang on to what positivity you can, as it really does help with treatment.
