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
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
Yeah, my friend coming with me, it's strange, I had a physio apt am hour ago, he has put my physio on hold.
I asked why and he said , the milk ducks if suspicious can spread quixkly and I understand they are fast tracking u and when they do a ct scan they will have a better idea????.. what was that about? Xx
I know that this means more waiting and more worry. Not all results are as clear cut as they appear, but I am glad that your team are making sure that all is clear. If I were in your shoes, I would prefer my care team to do this, rather than dismiss something that could later prove to be probleatic.
I am so glad to hear that you had a good afternoon yesterday and that you treated yourself to a new coat. Hold on to that white feather. Hopefully, it's a reassuring sign.
God f its not one thing its another, least they are looking after you, i havent got a clue why they would cancel your appointment must be precautions with everything
Sorry i misread the message i know its scary, its the unknown that does it i think, you won't be on your own and you have us behind you, I know how i felt on monday waiting to go to the clinic for my results but got a phone call 2 hrs before I was going to say my results were fine but still an area of concern and I've to do it all again, have you had a stereotactic biopsy done? Think its all good saying the results we did were fine but we need more biopsies done, i start questioning well did they actually do the biopsies from the right area in the first place, so they must be looking at the mammograms and saying there's still something there because if there wasnt why would i now be getting this advanced machine to get other biopsies done!! I know how you feel june when they said you can bring someone with you, your thinking all sorts! Its ok for people to say you'll be fine but that's not really helping us who are going through it, but in a couple of days you'll know, the wait is dreadful but you have everyones support here and youll get through this hunni
Thankyou for your kind message. I don't feel alone as I know I have you and all behind me and supporting me.
Did you to to clinic? How did you feel leading up to it? It's so. Confusing saying all is fine but...Still am area of concern? What is a Steriotactic biopsy? Shame you have to go through this again, feel sorry for you xx There will always be a what if...same as my case xx
I didn't have one, I had a needle biopsy in December, they didn't return results and my doc had a letter saying they discharged me and all was OK.
Then end August I got a call to go in and see consultant, he was very nice, but very concerned about the nipple area ( said to me...its grown in 8 month) and ot looks very suspicious, we need to remove it.
So...few days covid test..isolation I was in surgery having excisional biopsy ( removal of lump) and a needle biopsy on lump under arm xx
When I left hospital in 3rd September, they told me they were holding a meeting MDT Thursday 16th.
I received a letter to say I am in face to face with breast specialist team 9.30 Friday 17th xx
I hope all goes well for you, thinking of you and everyone here xx God bless xxx
Just had a phone call ive to go tomorrow for the biopsies to get done, no i didnt have to go to the clinic on monday because staff had been sent home with illness, that's why she gave me the results on the phone as i was in edinburgh but wanted the stereotactic biopsies done on monday but no staff to do it so im now going tomorrow, my boss has changed shifts with me so its fine for tomorrow. Stereotactic is done with a mammogram type machine that takes imagines electronically through xray and the biopsies are taken while on the machine, lie flat on your tumny boob in this hole and they do the work underneath the machine because they raise the bed or depending what machine you are in a sitting position but the same idea how they perform the biopsies boob in this hole omg what a thought lol
So 8 months on after everything been ok in december you got a call to see the consultant in August then that procedure done 3rd of September? If it was ok why did he get in touch 8 months later?
