    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 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

    Hi Mariacharlie,

    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!

    Kind regards,

    Hi JJ73,

    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.

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

    Kind regards,

    Hi Karen,

    I hope that you are doing ok. Well, tomorrow will be another step closer to getting rid of whatever needs to come out. I hope that all goes well for you. 9am is a good early start for you - rather you than me!

    I shall be thinking of you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Lucy,

    I'm glad to hear that today was a better day for you. You're right. Keeping busy does help the time to pass and forces us to think of something more pleasant, even if it is only work related. We often compare this to the biggest rollercoaster ride you're ever likey to be on - one minute you're up and the next you're down in the doldrums again. There really is no rhyme nor reason to it, so just go with the flow.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Karen,

    This is good news, as the sooner it's done and dusted the better you'll feel.

  • Hi Jolamine, 

    Definitely a rollercoaster, no matter what happens, this time has been an eye opener and made me think differently about so many aspects of my life. It's like I'm re-evaluating everything.

    I just wanted to ask; and I know you will be careful how you answer this but he put a marker thing in my breast. I'm thinking he's already ruled out fatty tissue right?! I'm guessing the best I can hope for now is a benign tumour. Do people have markers put it cysts?! It's like he already knows someone will have to go back in there. 
     

    Overthinking again I know.

  • Hi Jolamine,

    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.
