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
There are lots of booklets on all aspects of breast cancer. Most of these are available at your local hospital, or available to download or to be posted out from the various cancer organisations. Don't worry about your weaker moments today. We all have days like this. In fact, you will find many alikening their cancer journeys to the biggest and fastest rollercoaster ride you're ever likely to be on - up one minute and down the next.
I am glad to hear that you have contacted some local cancer support groups. Most of these are excellent and I am sure that you'll soon get some support from that quarter. You should get on fine next Monday morning. I didn't have any bother getting these inserted.
You can certainly do this and, we are always here to support you along the way.
No doubt you are still feeling tender and not up to contacting us yet - there-s no hurry. I just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and hope that your operation went well.
They cut from just under muddle breast bone all under to armpit. And removed nipple , replaced with a big rectangular shape...I also have another cut under arm , they removed 4 lymph node too. I get my results on 14th Oct and see consultant, xxxx I
I am so sorry to hear about the pain. This should settle over the next few days.You won't notce the scar under your arm with time. I expect that the large rectangular shape was to ensure that they got all of the cancer this time. Although none of this looks pretty at the moment, it will improve as it all heals. Are there any plans to reconstruct your nipple?
I know that the coming weeks will be an anxious time, but there shouldn't be any different news than that which you got after your biopsy. Here's hoping that your margins are clear this time.
Thinking of you and hoping that your pain reduces soon.
I had urgent right breast nipple/areola exciting wide local excision with perforator flap reconstruction of defect and SLNB , GA ???? Not a lumpectomy xxx
Was the infected area larger than they originally thought? The lymph node removal is usually routine with surgery. Here's hoping that they are all clear. Start making a list of questions for next time you see your consultant now. It is easier to get this ready as certain thoughts pop into your head, rather than waiting until the last minute.
It's a lot to take in for now, but it sounds as if they should have got it all this time. It is normal to delay reconstruction until after you've had treatment.
Just been thinking about you and hope you are bearing up and just to say m sorry for not been in the conversstion over the last few days got a filling at the dentist about a month ago and it wasnt settling, he took it out on thursday and ive had nothing but jip over the weekend so im thinking an infection is going on sp im phoning the dentist at 8.30 this morning, maxed out on solphadol and feel like *** with constant pain, so its just to send you my love and letting you know im thinking about you xxxx
There is nothing worse than toothache xx hope it settles for you
I been poorly after opp, on antibiotics, I have sore mouth with all top lip swollen , pain pain , black and blue.....I only hope mid Oct it is good news xxx hugs to all of you xx
I'm sorry to hear about your toothache and hope that your dentist has been able to help you out today. I am due to get three teeth out tomorrow as a start to getting implants - unfortunately 3 of my front teeth - and we're going away for a few days straight after, so I'm just hoping that I can cope with a temporary plate and eat normally whilst we're away. I can't say that Im looking forward to it!
Sorry for not replying sooner, missed your message back, i hope you got on ok at the dentist abd are able to enjoy your time away, mouths still sore phoned the debtist yesterday ssid it an take up to 2 weeks for pain, but filling then extraction so quite a bit of trauma they said and because i have fibromyalgia the pain is heightened anyway, sick looking at solphadol! the phrase doing my *** in springs to mind lol talking of doing my *** in lol im going to hospital on Tuesday morning 9am to get the mag seed put in so dont think its going to be to long now for surgery to have this radial scar taken out, find out then if its attached to the breast wall see if anything sinister is going on behind it hoping not obviously! Cant wait till its all over, if everything is benign what a journey it has been and i take my hat off to every one of you what you have all went through and going through, the love life is still going well never met such a supportive man who has came into my life and is non judgemental and very caring, it has certainly helped even though i have friends and family, I always say everything happens for a reason so heres hoping everything works out
