Hi Karenk,

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.

Kind regards,

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 

HI June,

Your reply to Karen didn't appear until after I had asked how you got on.

I'm sorry to see that you are still up and stressing about this. I don't know what your surgeon's stance is on mastectomy. Most don't want to remove so much tissue if it isn't necessary. Full removal and implant is a more complex operation. I was initially told that the result would be the same wheher I had a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.

You should certainly discuss fulll removal and implant beforehand, so that you are happy that you are having the right surgery for you..

Kind regards,

Hi

He said the cancer is in and around nipple, so it's a large area being removed and he would take it from underneath. Where the wire of bra is and luft it up into hole xx he still not sure if he will get clear margins x can I ask if they took your lymph nodes...did you have tissue from your body put in? 

What treatment did you have or having after lumpectomy? Xxxxx sending love and hugs xx xxx

Hi,sorry about your news,I have the same diagnose but mine is DCIS high grade,i have done one  surgery but the margins came positive si next week will do mastectomy ,hoping for the best,scary times for us but we need to be strong and we are lucky to have a pre cancer prognose.

wish you all the best 

Hi June

You are going to get through this! And im going to make you laugh because there is a lot of nice nipples tassels on the market these days lol

Hi Jane,

Your story has given me some hope on large lumps....On Monday after being briefly looked at & examined by consultant he said my lump was a cyst & he wasn't concerned. He sent me down to breast screening to have a mammogram & ultrasound and said they would probably drain it. I felt immediate relief but once I'd had the mammogram & was called into ultrasound she said that she was concerned by the lump & proceeded with a biopsy of the lump & swollen lymph nodes under my arm . The consultant was surprised to see me back at the breast clinic & said that it had taken him by surprise. He said lump looked very suspicious & was more likely to be something than not. He wanted to see me back for results on Thursday but he was completely fully booked until Monday! He said there maybe a cancellation but if not Monday. I have obvs been thinking the worse. My lump is large but everything you read states more than 2cm is large! I've convinced myself that they won't be able to remove my breast as the lump is too big & that every ache & pain in my body is now cancer spreading throughout me. Im trying to be strong but I already suffer with anxiety so im not so good at positive thinking ‍♀️ I've been researching private cancer care, I wasn't even sure if it was something you can do but I guess when I get my results this is something that I should ask about then?

The DCIS is precancer or stage 0 cancer,thats my diagnose,bit the cancer cell might be grade 1,2 or 3 .I have grade 3 which is not good so I high risk that the cancer might come back.

I have done one surgery,not suscesfull ,will do another one soon mastectomy.After that I dont know what the treatment will be ,it depense.

I found a small lump close to the niple on ky left breast in July and my gp refered me in one week,and I had the surgery after 2 weeks so really quick.

The tissue that they removed was 11mm.

Hi peca

Am so glad you got sorted quickly...I was seen in Dec last year. They called me in August said they mislaid my paperwork...I am grade 2 had excisional biopsy 3rd Sept...9 month later

Now another removal of all breast tissue and nipple and lymph nodes on 1st Oct I had to wait they apologised xx we are all scared 

Hope it hasn't spread xx won't know ubtil 2 week after removal of everything probably around 14th Oct x

9 months after,not good from their part,but DCIS grade 2 for what I know will take years before becomes invasive so I think it ok.

I wish your margins will be clear negative so you can have a piece of mind ,mine unfortunately came positive in 3 side thats why will do mastectomy.

I wish you all the best,I am here if you have more question ,will help with what I can going throw the same experience makes us strong.

Hope everything goes well in 1st of October,good luck hun.
