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
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
Sorry I haven't replied. I have been away for a few days. It sounds as if it might be helpful for your son to see a counsellor and talk through just how he is feeling. This can be arranged through Macmillan, your cancer hospital, your GP or some of your local cancer centres - again, your GP should be able to point you towards some local groups.I got great help from both Maggie's and the Haven.
Your doctor could possibly prescribe something to help him sleep better, but I suspect that this would only act as a temporary solution. Talking things through and getting some of his worries out in the open might be a more long term solution.
Many of us have a fear of dying, but you are nowhere near that. We don't normally think of it until cancer is mentioned, yet many pass just crossing the road on a daily basis, without giving it a thought.
I hope that you can find someone to help your son, as this must be very worrying.
Thankyou so much for your helpful information xxx I may give mc millman a call , I will try talk to my son...but he doesn't like to open up too much zx
Hi I'm 40 and went to go just over a week ago as I have been getting boob pain in both of my boobs any way have a examination nurse couldn't feel nothing but sent me to breast clinic went there on Thursday seen doctor who again couldn't feel nothing said it probably hormones as I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago so had mamorgam and ultrasound ...but they picked up a mass on left breast it looked black on screen and sort of rectangular so they have done a biopsy is was in shock because I was really made to feel there was nothing I'm now so scared ...my only comfort is I had a CT and full MRI before my hysterectomy and there was nothing then I had hysterectomy due to high number of pre cancer cells on my smear any one had anything similar
Morning MariaCharlie, I'm sorry to read this, must be a shock having been through your hysterectomy to find yourself here. Have you been given a next appointment for the results of your biopsy yet? If not, I hope you do soon. I note you say you had pre cancerous cells previously before your hysterectomy and so I was just wondering if they also gave you a mammogram? I know they don't tend to if under 50, although I had my first one at 47, so I just wondered whether they were just waiting for biopsy results or doing further tests also? I didn't see my own ultrasound, but my sister came with me and said it looked like a rock and had rectangular edges. I can't comment if that means anything or not - im having further biopsies this week. Hard as it is, you won't know for sure until you get your results. Xx I hope that helps a little and sending virtual hugs xx
