Hi all,
I’m new to the group, signing up after having three biopsies.
Just hoping you can all put my mind at ease or just be someone to talk to!
I found two lumps one in each breast and had biopsies last week. They then invited me back today to have a biopsy under mammogram as they found some calcifications.
Anyway today was a disaster! I was all set up at the mammogram machine and they started the procedure but I started to feel faint. I tried to persevere and removed my mask as was struggling to breathe and they brought the big fan to me but I started to go and quickly yelled out I’m going to faint. The nurse and radiologist was fabulous and quickly released me and had me lying back until I felt ok. I had hoped they would carry on but they said I would probably just feel faint again so they didn’t want to risk it. They only managed to get 3 samples (whatever they are called) but needed 7. She said she would send it off but chances are I would need to have it done again. I was devastated!
My results appointment had already been made for next Monday for all three sets of results and I so wanted to just have closure at that appointment but now I’m so worried it will drag on as I will have to have another biopsy.
I feel so anxious and sick right now plus my breast is so sore!!
I can’t stop worrying about it.
What are the chances of me not having to have it done again with them only getting 3 samples?
Just so angry with myself for today!!
