Hi Karenk,

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.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi June,

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.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

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

Love June  

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

Hey no this was my first mamorgam and honestly never expected to hear they found anything....I'm waiting on biopsy results I've got appointment on Thursday but said they won't know to wednesday if results will be in so will have to wait and see my hysterectomy was a elective surgery because I had a high chance or the cancer cells turning so made desion to have hysterectomy and Ive been fine since ...I'm just hoping that even if it is cancer it's been caught early it's the wait that's horrible I've 4 children and my youngest is only 6 just need to know so I can move forward with it all 

Hi, I'm keeping everything crossed that the results are in for Thursday.  I know what you mean and totally understand. The additional worry of still having such a young family, must be hard. I'm sending positivity your way - keep posting if it helps - I find it helps, but we're all different, I know x Mickey xx 

Thank you it dose help when are your results due xx

Hi, I do now (just) know it's cancer from first biopsies/mammogram etc, but second biopsies will make a difference to my treatment plan - I'm hoping that 2-3 weeks. I will know it all - the waiting is hard for everyone xx

I'm sorry did they say it was likely to be cancer when they did biopsy ? All the waiting around is the hardest part I think xx

They didn't comment but me and my sister thought it was from all the reactions I was getting - especially when they told me that mammogram also showed microcalcifications xx it's really hard to tell from the ultrasound I think, there are so many types of cancer and a lot of them look like other types of cysts on ultrasound, so I've been told..... they can never be really sure until they get the biopsy results xx waiting around is definitely the hardest part, you're not alone though xx  

No true I'm just hoping it's good news but trying to function do every day stuff is hard just doing kids uniforms and then I'm thinking I want to be around to there old enough to take care of them self's I know I'm over thinking this but it was a total shock I wasn't expecting them find anything after I had been examined twice and told they felt nothing and I was on my own didn't ask any questions at all just kept saying yes and thank you it was like I wasn't there strange feeling ...how are you finding it xx

Hi, I'm hoping it's good news for you too. It's really hard to function and only natural for your brain to overthink everything. Try to be kind to yourself and accept that it's impossible to just carry on as before and that's ok. I'm the sort of person that needs to know what I'm dealing with and so at least I now know. But I'm in shock, body and brain keeps going into shutdown, but I know that's natural too! Just keep trying to stay positive and give myself one problem at a time to deal with, so I feel I have some control xx hope that helps you too xx 

It dose thank you ..you have really helped it's not same talking to family they just look at me and I can see there worried so I act super positive and upbeat as I don't want upset them I hope you get news soon on treatment plan as I'm same I can deal better with stuff if I know what I'm dealing with xx

I feel the same - family and friends just don't know how to react (understandably), a bit like parenting, no-one gives you a 'handbook' on how to do it. That's why this site is so useful as we're all on our own journey, but we understand the vast array of emotions and challenges that we're all facing in different ways xx be kind to yourself xx 

I am I've decided get my self sorted having a bath I'm allowed remove the dressings now and going cook tea do something normal xx

Sounds like an excellent plan - enjoy the relaxing Bath xx
