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
We all find the waiting one of the hardest parts of our cancer journeys. I can assure you that I am not strong. I was an emotional mess whilst I was waiting for a diagnosis. I was lucky on one occasion, but drew the short straw on the other two. Still, when it is cancer, we have no choice but to get on with it. Life's too short to let it rule our lives.
I was wondering about your age, because younger people are less liely to develop cancer, although it can hit any one of us at any time. Fortunately, breast cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer these days.
Try to find something to preoccupy your to help the time to pass.
Hi Everyone, I hope you all don't mind me gate crashing, I've read through the post and feel like you are all a lovely bunch.
I was diagnosed with invasive grade 3 + Dcis 2 weeks ago, last week they told me it was triple negative so will need chemo. I'm also getting a genetics blood test with the triple neg result and being under 50 (I'm 46).
at the minute I'm waiting on a mri, but the waiting for everything is a killer you mind just goes to places you didn't even know existed! 3 weeks ago I was just getting on with my life, until I got the recall from a yearly mammogram.
You are more than welcome to join us. I so am sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Is there a reason for you having yearly mammograms before you reach 50? I know that this is not the news you wanted, but it is treatable. Have you any plans for surgery yet or are you starting with chemo?
I agree that waiting is one of the worst parts of this whole process - we nearly all find this. Our imaginations also play havoc, which doesn't help. It shouldn't be much longer until all of your tests are over and you have a planned route forward. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on. We are always here for you.
I had some opp , WLE ? Cut all under breast to underarm...then 4 lymph nodes removed, nipple removed and breast tissue to chest wall
I have had it stitched internally and then glued....no dressings on , I am in so much pain...my temp 37.8 doc sent antibiotics..but had runs xx can't win...I go back 15th for results am scared xxxxx
yes it seems we all struggle with the waits, I was having yearly checks as I'm classed as high risk with a few family members on my fathers side getting breast cancer at a young age.
I'll be glad when things get moving, depending on genetics test it will either be lumpectomy or if positive double mastectomy.
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.
It doesn't help when there is a family history of breast cancer. I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer before I was diagnosed. Fortunately, treatment has come along leaps and bounds since then.
I had a lumpectomy first time and a double mastectomy second time around, so am happy to help you if I can.
