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
It is always helpful to have your MRI sooner rather than later, as this cuts down on that awful waiting time. It's good to hear that your consultant is going to see you too. If you have any questions, be sure to write them down before your appointment, as it is all too easy to forget something important in the heat of the moment.
We all have different, if similar concerns. Looking through some of Breast Cancer Care's booklets on breast cancer, these are some of the questions they suggest at your stage:-
When will I have surgery?
How soon after surgery will treatment start?
How long will my treatment last?
Do you think that you will get all of the cancer this time?
How much more breast tissue do you need to remove?
Will I need any sort of reconstruction after surgery, or will my breast still look normal?
Can I have a copy of my Pathology report?
Are there any signs of lympho-vascular invasion?
Am I going to need any treatment post-surgery?
What hormone therapy do you think will be best for me?
What are the side-effects off treatment and, how is this likely to affect me?
Am I likely to need radiotherapy or chemotherapy?
Is a genomic assay test suitable for me and, if so, which one would you advise?
Your consultant will be likely to answer most of these when you see him/her. I hope that this helps.
Thanks from me also.. I will adapt as relevant to my situation . My mind is somewhat blank as I'm trying to adjust to what lies ahead. Should know by 22nd if hormone related or not . Sending love abd hugs xxx
I'm glad to hear that you have found this helpful too. As I said to June, Your consultant will be likely to answer most of these when you see him/her. You will also find that the questions flow once you know exactly what you are dealing with and get your Her2 results back.
