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
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 hope the others get back to you soon June but whilst you're waiting I just thought I'd give you our cancer nurses telephone number in case you wanted to get their advice on this.
They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
I hope that you are beginning to feel a little better today.
I was allowed to shower 2 days after my double mastectomy and showered the night after my lumpectomy. I kept the dressings in place and just washed around them. I used a mild shower gel. Are you going back to get the dressings removed, or what were you advised to do by the nurses?
I was still in hospital on both occasions which was just as well, because I pulled one of my drains out out on one side when I was undressing. Perhaps others could give us their experience?

It sounds as if you are having a hard time. I'm glad to hear that you've got some antibiotics prescribed, despite the side-effects they cause. Once you start a course, you shouls always complete it, so do try to perservere.
Did you manage to get a shower today? I'm sure that you'll feel better once you do. If you don't feel confident about taking a wash, why not phone your breast care nurse and ask for her advice? - This is just the sort of situation that she is there for. You are bound to be scared about the results, but worry won't change the outcome.
