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,

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 

Thank you. 
 

I almost feel embarrassed at how badly I'm not coping. I think it's the not knowing. I just have such a bad feeling about it, it's like I've written myself off already. I don't even feel like I can go to work whilst I wait for my results, but then my alternative is sitting in my house alone going crazy. 

bless you, sending love to you xx

Hi June,

Here's hoping that your GP can help you out tomorrow. If you are still worried about your breast after please phone your nurse.

How good is your GP - do you think that it might be worth mentioning the trouble that your son is having?

Hi Mariacharlie,

Not all lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts or fibrous changes. It is aworrying wait for results, but we all hsave to go through it. Did they say when your results would be back?

I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Lucy,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

It is always a stressful time waiting for your results. Sometimes, the only way to be certain is to have a biopsy. Only 1 person in every 8 who attend the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis. Not all lesions are cancerous. Many are benign cysts or fibrous changes. Here's hoping that this will be the case for you.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

They gave me an appointment card before I left for a face to face appointment for a weeks time. I'm wondering if it's good news then maybe they'd call me before instead? Who knows. I just want it over, I can't see me getting through the next week without having a complete breakdown. I'm wondering if the doctor can give me something like diazepam to try and be calmer x

Thank you so much. Of course I will let you all know. I think this forum will help me get through the week. I'm desperately trying to be positive but just can't seem to function normally. Why am I so weak? I'm 37 with two kids but suddenly I feel like a 12 year old little girl who wants her mum. I need to try and snap out of it. I literally can't eat or anything. Maybe work will help as long as people don't keep asking me every 5 mins if I'm ok like they have done for the last 3 weeks. It's hard, people just don't know what to say x

Hi they said there hoping the results will be back on Thursday but will change my appointment if not ...I'm hoping its nothing just can't stop my mind from working over time I've been ill on and off for months but I always say well it's nothing new my pain is due to arthritis or I always had bad head aches and it is probably just that here's hoping that I get all clear xx

Hi [@Lucy37]‍ I feel your pain - I'm in the same position and don't get my results for another week. I think you definitely have reasons to feel positive. I want to give you hope and not raise your hopes, but in my experience (end of last week - though it seems like months ago) they made it very clear that they thought it was cancer and I was introduced to my very own breast cancer nurse right after my ultrasound. That was a shock! It's good they're checking out anything suspicious - so much better than missing something - and the future appointment will be to talk over the results, even if there's no further action needed. I hope it's all good for you and in the meantime take strength from the amazing ladies in this chat. I only joined a couple of days ago and am overwhelmed at what people are coping with and capable of. But yes, the waiting is hell and I'm not coping either. Be kind to yourself! Xx

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. My GP who referred me was so sure it was fatty tissue but referred me for 'piece of mind' so I went to the appointment assuming it would be a quick ultrasound and off I go. I fell apart when he said I want to do a biopsy. He did say it's normal practice and try not to worry. Im terrbile for thinking the worst in every single situation. I wish I could fast forward time. x
