Breast biopsy result

Hi all,

I know this has probably been asked about 100 times before but I'm so nervous and wondered if anyone can help calm my nerves.

I had to go to the breast clinic on Monday and got scans and biopsies and they pretty much sadly told me that they suspect it is breast cancer. They told me they'd ring with biopsy results this week but instead I was sent a follow up appointment for next week. I'm fearing the worst now :( Has anyone ever been called in to be told good news or is it always just bad news that is face to face? I'm so scared and don't want this to be happening :( Sending strength to all you amazing people going through this hell x

  • I had a biopsy few weeks ago and was told they were almost certain it was cancerous. They booked me a f2f app 10 days after and told me i could take partner in. He came with me and it was confirmed. I was then given pre op and surgery dates. We both asked lots of questions and all were answered. Tomorrow I have my covid test, Tuesday I have to have the sentinel node injection and Wednesday I have surgery. 

    I will have a 3 week wait to then find out if lymphs are affected and if its radiotherapy or chemo. 

    All I can say is that every one I've seen and talked to at the clinic has been so kind and compassionate. 

    Xx

  • I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Only someone who has been through it will know how you are feeling. It's such a frightening time and the waiting between stages of treatment is the worse thing. Nothing I or anyone says will make that any easier but please don't worry about the op (guessing it's a lumpectomy), the dye injection or recovery after surgery. It's ok. Really. Had mine on 1st March and I was back at home having a cup of tea four hours after surgery started. You must do the exercises religiously. I had regained full movement within a week. There's no point worrying about the result. Worrying won't change it. Take one day at a time and put yourself first. Peace and quiet and plenty of rest will help. Educate yourself (although many will say stay off the internet, I found it useful to arm myself with information so that I could ask all the right questions - and understand the answers). And yes, all the breast cancer medical staff are amazing and will never run out of patience with you. So call them if you are worried about anything. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way x
