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
In stage 2 breast cancer, cancer cells have not spread beyond the breast or nearby lymph nodes. Knowing the HR and HER2 status of your stage 2 breast cancer can help your oncologist determine which treatments are most likely to be effective. Stage 2 breast cancer is very treatable and the overall outlook is good.
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.
I know that this is not what you wanted to hear, but calm down and let's put this into perspective. It is only grade 2 and it is treatable. It is also Her2 negative. These are three positives to hang on to. HER2 negative cancer cells tend to grow more slowly and are less likely to recur or spread to other parts of the body than HER2 positive cells.
You will know more about any further treatment once your MDT meeting is held post-mastectomy. I am glad to see that you don't have long to wait for this and that you will get your results the following day.
It is normal to send any tissue removed during surgery to Pathology for analysis and a number of people have to get further surgery, because a clear margin hasn't been attained. This is disappointing, but fairly routine.
Try to keep yourself busy until Wednesday to help the time to pass.
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.
