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
Karen I love your positivity and humour . I did sleep better last night and I hope the biopsy process was ok and you too sleep well tonight. I'm here for you and do let us know how you got on. Sending love and hugs
It was horrible, the dr wanted an xray first then i got the biopsies taken and another clip put in, then another mammogram i went and saw the dr who said at the moment where it is is a mystery, she is hopeful that it still is a radial scar but will have to be removed if it is, if its not and the results are benign they are going to leave it alone just now, so basically my results on Monday were fine as they werent as close to where they needed to be, so results on the 27th, im a bit low tonight, getting sore, tired, *** off,
On the plus side..... one side linda lusardi watch this space
Thankyou Karen, moira etc , I forget...got brain fog. Had my bath now in bed hoping to try and sleep, goodnight god bless everyone, thankyou for being here for me xx
I'm glad to hear that you don't have too long to wait. Much to my surprise, I fell apart when I was first diagnosed. This is why I started to try and help those in a similar position.
I am sorry to hear that it was a difficult appointment for you, but that's it all over, apart from another anxious wait.. You're bound to be low tonight, as well as sore, but it's onward and upwards from here. Try to keep yourself occupied, to help pass the time whilst you're waiting. It sounds as if there is still every chance that this could be benign - fingers crossed!

i got results of my biopsies today and it is DCIS high grade. Really relieved it's at early stage but high grade is less good obviously. Nurse kept reassuring me it's curable and I would get to see my son turn into a grumpy teenager but I know she can't be sure of that.
will go for mri and depending on outcome might need further investigations. Operation is booked in for 14th October. Lumpectomy. ( I said I would be happy to do mastectomy but told but told not recommended as it hasn't spread and am still young..46.) then radio.
i am a single mum of a 4 year old and been through divorce over last 2 years.ex Husband lives overseas.I work part time as a secondary school teacher. I relocated to UK end 2018 so life has been really tough these last few years. I'm lucky to have a sister living nearby and she has been tower of strength for me.
very frightened right now but trying to hold onto the good stats. They didn't tell me the size of the lump. I'm wondering if I can phone to ask? Also whether the timings seem good or whether it's worth considering paying to get this done privately. My breast care nurse said dates are good and they have enough time to investigate if anything shows up on the MRI (don't have date for that yet). She said it's safe and better to get stuff done with nhs.
I'm scared this thing could be growing and spreading all the time - as doc said they only have the biopsies they took last week to go in atm.
glad to have this group and find some of you ladies got good news m. Thanks for reading! Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome x
Ive not slept much the pain isnt too bad but that scan was horrible it was so long and you cant move an inch, i said to the dr so im a medical mystery just now then lol, I knew with mobdays results they werent near to be where they wanted to be, they did a lot of xrays and put in another marker so hopefully they have got close enough now so yes another anxious wait, hardly slept last night I'll sleep today though dreadful going through this experience
Welcome to the group its normally jolamine that does this bit (shes the mum of the group lol) jolamine puts everyones mind at rest with her knowledge and experience, and reassurance!!!!!
Your going to be ok! They have caught it, you will get the op and be a new woman, and your little one will have his/her mum!!! Yeah it's all scary what we go through, been through a divorce myself and its not easy but you will get there! I joined the group last weekend and everyone is brilliant, as for the NHS nurses that we see they are amazing! Chin up hunni youll get through this you have everyone behind you here
I'm sure that you're feeling pretty shell-shocked at the moment, but DCIS is about as good as it gets. It is eminently treatable. I was diagnosed with this 12 years ago. I has a second bout the following year and had a double mastectomy and, have never looked back. I still lead a busy and fulfilled life. At the time I was worried for my two teenage children. Since then I have seen them leave school, go to university, graduate, find gainful employment, marry and produce two beautiful granddaughters, who are the light of my life.
Once you have had your MRI they should be able to tell you more about the size of your lump. You have been through a lot recently, but I am glad to hear that you have the support of your sister. We all need someone to confide in with situations such as this. As you know there are no guarantees with cance, but then there's no guarantee when we are crossing the road, yet we don't think twice about that.
It will be a great help to your future if you can remain positive about this. Breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. Yours is in the early stages and, it is treatable. Hold on to these thoughts.
This is certainly not an experience that anyone would want to go through. Hopefully, you are now closer to getting a conclusive answer. I am sorry to hear that you didn't sleep much last night and, hope that you have managed to catch up today. It's good to hear that your pain is bearable now.
You are so kind to everyone with your positivity and how much you know, a true inspiration to all of us, june listen to jolamine she knows what she is talking about and its all positive! Today has been a shock for june but she will get through this, you have all our support, we are all scared and its the unknown that does it! But we will come out the other end, just thinking sports bras dont do much for you do they thank god i had a hoody and body warmer on i look like a boy lol (see june made you laugh) linda lusardi yesterday little boy today lol
