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
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.
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
Hi! I just wanted to say that I had a very similar experience to yours just this morning. I was referred to the breast clinic with a small lump, though my gp wasn't too concerned. The consultant didn't seem worried and was convinced it was benign (probably a cyst). But the radiologist clearly didn't agree. Ordered biopsies, said she was worried, then started talking about breast cancer nurses and support and what a shock it must be for me. My brain couldn't quite process what was being said. Won't get the results of the biopsies for a week or two but it seems as though everyone has already moved on with a cancer diagnosis. How did your results turn out? How are you doing now? I hope things are ok x
