Im waiting on breast biopsy results, i get them on monday, the waiting is just dreadful, sometimes your gut feeling tells you what you know but this time i just dont know! Anyone feel or felt the same?
A very warm welcome to our forum. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years, plus a few false alarms, so I have been through a number of biopsies. All I can say, is that the wait never gets any easier. Most of us would say that this is one of the worst parts of our cancer journey, as thereare so many unknowns and uncertainties.
I am glad to hear that you don't have much longer to wait. Try to keep yourself occupied with other distractions to help the time to pass a little quicker over the weekend.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Hi just joined this site reading different comments such an agonising wait for results I'm awaiting my appointment to see if my treatment has worked you feel so lonely at this moment hope all works out for you hang on in there my love thoughts are with you
Well one day to go, its just the unknown that scares you the most and hearing the big C word how do you deal with it, they have saw something and i hope at most its a radial scar that i can deal with, and on the other hand it may be something that's just to be left alone, its just the not knowing and now im just dreading it but hopefully its not as bad as i think, thank you for your support
We nearly all tend to think the worst at this stage. Fortunately, this seldom happens, but our minds tend to run away with us while we are waiting. 'It is not cancer until you are told that it is' and, if it is, you will deal with it because you have to. None of us want a cancer diagnosis, but this is one of the most treatable form of cancer these days.
Thumper has had 20 years since diagnosis and I have had 12, despite 2 bouts of breast cancer. She looks great in her picture and, I expect that, like me she is leading a busy and fulfilled life.
Here'shoping that it is just scar tissue. Just remember that we are always here for you.
Hi Karen sweetheart good luck my love you ton my mind please keep me updated I think the worst is the wait I have mine on Thursday to see if the treatment has worked for my bowel cancer., can't sleep eat it agonising only you understand my love message me keep in touch big hugs xx
Aww you are so sweet!!! Yes will let you know, i had a dreadful sleep youd think id have been pulled through a hedge backwards thank god im washing my hair lol, yeah we are all keeping everything crossed for you to darling, thankyou for you support over the weekend and today, through the nerves im keeping positive
I got to Edinburgh and the nurse phoned me that the results from the biopsies were fine, i didnt have to attend the clinic as staff been sent home ill who perform procedures, the nurse phoning me in a couple of days they want more biopsies so when i go back in its for a stereotactic breast biopsy, so even though the news is good for today's results theres obviously something they want checked, be waiting again lol nice lunch though lol
Awwww bless , so glad it was hopeful today xx and lunch was great xxx fingers crossed for you going through more tests, and they are also good news for u...they checked mine, had me in within few days 3 after covid test and isolation, I was heavily sedated because of my heart....excisional biopsy and needle biopsy under arm too
I am delighted to hear that your results wee fine. Did the nurse say why they want to do more biopsies? They wouldn't have said that your previous biopsies were fine, unless they were, so it sounds as if they are being extra cautious and still wanting to investigate the changes they've founfd.
I'm so glad to hear that you had a nice lunch and, I hope that you and your Mum enjoyed your afternoon in Edinburgh.
Its a stereotactic biopsy they want to do this time, i still think its a small area that is still to be investigated for 100% clearance, this machine seems to be more accurate by the sounds of it, but feel the biopsies that were clear why do more? so i feel theres still something they are checking, i said to the nurse on the phone what do you actually think she saidvi really cant call it, so im thinking is there something small they have missed or not got the exact area? I am pleased yesterdays were fine though but i think its the thought going through it all again, yeahbit was so nicevto meet up with my mum had a look in tbe charity shops got a nice coat, nice lunch, the sun was shining and had such a nice day, a white feather has just dropped at my feet as im messaging you god strike me down xxx
