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
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
Hope you are all ok this morning, I have the hospital tomorrow 9am god thats early lol getting the mag seed put in; then wait for surgery dste to remove the radial scar, fingers crossed after all this that that is benign too, but either or what a journey in your life, as every one says the wait is the worst thing ever!!! Its the unknown that scares you the most i think, and i agree outsiders can give support but its only this group that truly understands! So many lovely wonen on here that are true inspirations which includes june and jolamine,
There is no shame in feeling like you do. Most of us find our emotions all over the place at this stage. We also tend to let our imaginations run away with us, leading to the worst case scenario. Fortunately, this very seldom happens. Regardess of what the outcome is, you will feel better once you know what you are dealing with. It's the fear of the unknown that is so hard to deal with.
At the moment, you are probably looking like a very frightened little girl to your workmates, which is why they keep asking you if you're ok. You will find that the more positive you are when giving people your results, the better they'll take it. You're right. Many people don't know what to say , but the more up beat you can be in yourself, the more normally they'll treat you.
I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you, but please remember that we are always here for you.
Thank you so much for such a lovely message. You're right. I was a lot better today and naturally found myself being more upbeat once I'd updated everyone and got the conversation about the biopsies out of the way. Just carried on as normal and didn't really have too much time to think. Keeping busy has definitely helped my mental health today. Xx
I hope that your rresults are ready for Thursday, as I'm sure that you don't want to wait any longer. We've all got over active imaginations when waiting for results and it's almost impossible to stop them from doing this. Fortunately, things are seldom as bad as we think.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Thursday!
I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 12 years and know how scary it is to be told that they're pretty sure that you have cancer on your first visit. It always comes as a shock and is hard to digest.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. You are a true inspiration and a wonderful grounding force when I am all over the place. I wish all the ladies here the very best during this horrible time. We will get through it!!
We will certainly all get through it. There are a number of tremendous cancer warriors on this forum who are happy to support all of those going through this ordeal.
Most of us find it easier to talk to strangers on here who have been through cancer and know what it's like, instead of worrying family and friends, who don' always know what to say.
