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?
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.
Hi my name is Rosie and like you I am in that agonusing wait for biopsy results. I am hoping that I am wrong but what started off a positive consultant then turned not so positive. I am hardly sleeping or eating and think I am in panic mode . Not helpful I know but distracting difficult. Have my results in 4 days time feeling sick with worry and can't imagine what I will feel like if the diagnosis not good. Am I alone in not wanting to know grades what cancer etc as I think I will glaze over. Lost mum recently too. Trying to keep a lid on for husband and family . Lots of love and best wishes to all the lovely brave ladies on here xx Rosie
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 have read through this thread and feel reassured by such a amazing group of women.
I am 46 and attended the breast clinic on 12/10/21. Had a mammogram followed by ultrasound and 3 core biopsies with 2 markers inserted. I originally went with a relatively large lump that I had felt but ended with the large lump, a much smaller lump and the lymph node needing biopsies. The radiographer said that she was concerned but the Dr (Registrar I believe) was saying how sorry he was to give bad news, making me feel he has diagnosed without biopsies results.
They said it would take up to 2 weeks for biopsy results and case would be discussed at MDT on Thursday next week. I am struggling to deal with this, my mind is racing permanently, I feel lost and like I don't know what to do with myself. Do they really know for sure without the biopsy results?
Hi Nikki, hopefully someone a lot more informed than me will respond to this for you. I'm quite early in my diagnosis and so I'm only learning. My understanding is they can never be 100% sure until they get your biopsy results. I'd like to think if they could that they wouldn't put us through that pain also. I do think from my own experience though they sometimes they see things that gives them a good idea, but they can be absolutely wrong, hence why they need the biopsies. It's so hard and believe me, we all understand. Personally I had biopsies on my lump and got results they were cancer, but also had microcalcifications and so had to have further biopsies under mammogram which were done on Wednesday. Like you my MDT meeting is held in a Thursday and so now I'm waiting too to find out the scale of my treatment x be kind to yourself x hugs Mickey xx
