Hello gem,

I am at the same stage as you. I get my biopsy results tomorrow afternoon which I'm dreading, but at this point I just want to know what I'm up against.

You have been lucky that your appointments have been very quick and there hasn't been much wait inbetween. It's been a month now of waiting for me since I found the lump initially.

i have 2 lumps, a. large lump and a smaller lump, both on my right breast. I've had pain down my arm and numbness in my hand and since my biopsy I have had pain above my chest towards my collar bone. 
 

try to keep yourself busy and not overthinking situations which I know we all do.

sending my love and good luck for your results xx

I do feel lucky i have been seen so quickly..... i am still working and keeping busy.... but it's almost like in my head 'i know' if you get what i mean?....and i just want to deal with it!!!!!

Good luck to you tomorrow.... hope you get a good result and let me know if you get the opportunity. Sending huggs.

xx

Hi gem

My results are due on Thursday after having 2 biopsys last week...I had no lumps so I wasn't expecting to need biopsys..nerves are shattered as I have 2 young boys with additional needs..

But whatever the outcome I plan to try and stay positive such a high success rate with early stage breast cancer in n.ireland!!.

Good luck and try not to worry too much xxx

I had a similar experience as called back following a routine screening. I've had cysts and fibroids for many years and didn't even think twice when I was recalled. I was in total shock when I was told I had abnormal cells that look like cancer followed by biopsies. My  appointment letter came yesterday for a week on Thursday and I had a bit of a melt down. I've done a lot of googling trying to find benign reasons and luckily my history, age and the fact that I am currently going through menopause gives me several options that are looking more likely. I even rang the clinic just to check how long my appointment would take and feel even more assured that I will be in and out in 20 minutes. I have my fingers crossed for everyone who is currently waiting for results xxxxxxxx

Thank you gem. 
 

unfortunately it was bad news for me today and I have invasive breast cancer. I don't know how to feel to be honest, I'm almost relieved that I now have confirmation for my worries and now I can just try plan to get through it.

i have a 80mm mass which has Calcifications in it, then 2 tumours attached, biggest measures 40mm so it's pretty big. The good news is that at this point it's not thought to be in my lymph nodes so fingers crossed that doesn't change.

i am going to have a full mastectomy in a month time and reconstruction and I am awaiting results back for if it's hormone responsive and then that will tell me more on what treatment I'll receive after.

Tbh it's all a blur. I need to do some research now I think before I go back in on Friday. They have asked me to decide what kind of reconstruction I would like.

I feel a little in shock still I just need to make a plan

Hi happykay

Just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you and wishing you luck for today. xx

Hi Louisa

I'm so sorry your news wasnt good - cant imaging how you must be feeling you must feel all over the place. I hope you have good love and support around you.

I am a therapist by trade - so i guess the only way forward is to take one day at a time, allow the emotions to come out when you feel them and be kind to yourself, you've had an awful shock.

Sending you love and huggs and lots of strength for the coming months ahead. xxx
