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
In the same storm, something you said absolutely resonated with me, the fact this rollercoaster of a journey is one we will never forget!
I had a mammogram guided core needle biopsy last Monday, I'm in an emotional state to say the least, my right boob is also still sore and reminding me of this hell we're going through.
I had no lump but a swollen armpit and tender lymph nodes, I waited four weeks until I saw GP, two weeks later I was in the breast clinic, I had a mammogram...Then a 3d mammogram as there was a significant change, then I had US and she mentioned dense breast, hypoechic something and I needed a biopsy. I was gobsmacked as the area was above the nipple, not where I had pain, didn't feel any change in that area...
Biopsy done 12 days after, so I am really hoping this isn't the C because this anxiety will be giving me the C!
I found the process horrible, I cried and went into shock when the radiographer said "You're in the right place, area of concern, significant changes" as if I'm written off with it already, I just wanted to run but couldn't because right boob was jammed in that panini press whilst Picasso was felt tipping the rest to make sure I didn't move!
I get my results 3.30pm on Monday, 30 mins after yours, I'll be thinking of you, glad I'm not alone in this
You're so right. Gut wrenching it certainly is. I feel in my own bubble, like I can't forward plan or even think straight. But you're right, I'm not letting it win before I even know anything and I'm going to the party. Going to try and put it to one side even for a few hours. In my life, it's only the people on this group that understand and I'm so grateful to be here. So happy that your new partner is supportive ️ we can do this xx
I was exactly the same. Can I ask how old you are? I found a lump on 18th sept and was at the clinic on sat 9th Oct. I was expecting them to do a quick ultrasound and send me on my way with a diagnosis of fatty tissue. When he said he was suspicious and wanted to do a biopsy I think I went in to shock too. I was the only one crying in the waiting room and felt like a 13 year old girl who wanted her mum. I was shaking uncontrollably.
I'm 37 with no family history of breast cancer. I know statistics are on my side but I'm finding it dreadfully hard to be positive. I've always been a worrier. I feel drained. I have decided to go the party, I need to take my mind away even if just for a few hours.
I've never been more scared in my whole life about Monday. But at least we will finally know what we are dealing with and can begin to try and digest it.
I found a lump in 30s turned out to be a benign mass then on friday the 13th of august this year was a mammogram because i turned 50 in April and it csme back unclear i just thought it had flagged up from the lump i had previous but its a different thing altogether its a radial scar (google it) results not cancer but a radial scar can carry cancerous cells hense why they are taking it out xx
Ah I see. Great that they are acting and removing it. I'd never heard of radical scar. I'm really hoping mine is a benign mass. I'm unsure how I will cope with bad news. I'm really not good at coping with things
I do...but there is always going to be doubt to my story xxxxxx fingers crossed , it stays away xx just wait to heal..radiotherapy...then reconstruction xx
You will be a new woman, you are a beautiful woman inside and out, another inspiration on this page, you are brave and you are strong and will get through this, people like you make us strong when they are weak, and it's a journey thats helped me having people like you on it, jolamine is an amazing woman too as with the rest of them, routing for the girls and their results tomorrow we are all thinking of you!!!! Its a hard thing to go through even if some of us have complete good news at the end of it all, still going through biopsies etc, its the same motions, same feeling and mostly its the unknown that scares us the most and we will get through this because there is amazing women in this group that understands everything we are going through, i just think you are all brilliant girls
I am still so unsure x I am taking the tablets...feel so sick with them xx I have a check up with consultant wed 20th xxx I really hope and pray for everyone here, its so emotionally draining xxxx let's stay strong and fight xxxxx
This is great news.I am sure that you feel mightily relieved. What oestrogen blockers have you been put on? I see in another post that you are havig problems with them. Stick with them for a while, as it can take a while to get used to them.
If you continue to have trouble, there are a few things that you can do.
