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
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?
I have just read your reply to June and see that your biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm glad that you're not having to wait any longer and, hope that it all goes well.
Hi Jolamine. It’s DCIS. Not great news but could have been so much worse. Non invasive primary cancer - at the precancerous stage so caught early . I’ll get breast reduction surgery (horrid but can’t complain) to try and contain / remove the cells . Thank God. Apparently not so bad as I had feared.. I’m told that the cells are changing and so far not cancerous but that they are the kind of cells that will change unless removed. It has been caught before it has gone anywhere thank God. I’m just so relieved. It will not be pleasant but I am grateful the prognosis seems to be ok so long as I go ahead with this.
Next step is to check hormonal influence on this then action stations ...
Its good news for you today and as june says manageable, its caught early and wil be keeping a close eye on you, as for breast reduction i told june i was no linda lusardi so chuck them my way lol thats when i told her about this stereotactic biopsy im getting tomorrow that your boob goes in a hole, june said let them dangle oh girls you have to laugh or youd cry, you girls are all an inspiration thats all i can say, as i said its good having support from friends and family but people in this group really understand each other

I have been quietly following this thread, wishing you all the very best of luck and everyone on this forum is so brave. I promised myself that I would post my journey incase it may be of help to others in the future.
I'm 36 and 4-5 weeks ago I found a hard non moveable mass on my on the upper outer side of my right breast. I went to the gp hoping it would just be dismissed, however I was referred to the breast clinic with a wait of 11 days. At the breast clinic I had my physical examination from the consultant and he said everything felt normal but then he did find the thickening on the ultrasound said it was probably benign but I had a core needle biopsy (which wasn't painful) and then waited 11 days for the results. During the 11 days alot of veins on my right breast became far more visible and I began to panic as my anxiety went through the roof ( I don't normally get anxious) however after googling every possible out come, I was feeling less positive) I received a phone call at 4.30 the day before I was due to collect my results giving me the all clear and it is a benign lump called PASH. just wanted to share my experience incase it helps anyone in the future! Love to you all xx
