  • Hi everyone 

    Unfortunately my results are delayed and possibly back tomorrow or Wednesday but the consultant said he would call me once back. Felt physically sick waiting but now have some clarity.

    He wrote a Mammogram chart down which says how he scores results.

    M1 is normal

    M2 is benign

    M3 is 1 in 20 is cancer 

    M4 is more likely to be cancer

    M5 definitely cancer 

    Mine is 3 and he did say it's a small chalky spot that wouldn't be felt and he thinks it will be benign but they can't say for certain, he also said I might need more biopsies if the grade comes back as b3 (biopsy chart)  but I'm hopeful and less scared now that I've had a chance to ask all questions and praying that I'm going to be okay. 

    I did burst into tears again, I don't know where they come from!

    He also explained that my breasts will take two months to heal.

    You all have been my saving grace this past week, I will let you know what happens next.

    I love you all

  • Hi Lisa... so glad that you have a little clarity. Been thinking of you all day...  it is such a hard thing to go through  . I am sure I will be same Wednesday I will either cry or feel sick I think...keeping fingers crossed for a positive result. Lots of love and hugs ️ Rosie.  And also Thankyou too it has been a godsend having you ladies to chat to.  Will be forever grateful Rosie xxx

  • Hello everyone, 

    I've had my results. Got called in a room with 2 people and instantly fell apart fearing the worst. But it's positive news so far. They didn't find any cancer in my biopsy. They'd like to do a second biopsy (vacuum biopsy) to double check some more tissue. I'm having that done this Thursday and will get the results via telephone on 1st November. 
     

    She said worst case scenario is that there are pre cancerous cells present and they will just remove it in the form of a lumpectomy. 
     

    Feeling very lucky right now ️

  • Hi Lisa, So sorry your results were delayed but glad you have some clarity and it sounds like you have reason to be optimistic. I really hope you hear soon and it's good news!

    R‍osie, Karen, thank you for your good wishes! One more sleep for me. Not sure how I've got through the last week but somehow I did (though I'm having a major wobble tonight!). Thank you for thinking of me, I shall update you tomorrow. 

    [@Lucy37]‍ How did you get on today? Hope you're ok!

    Love to all you amazing ladies on this thread. I'm thinking of you all! 

    Jenny xxxx
     

     

  • Hi Lucy

    So happy to hear your positive news.  You must be so relieved.  It will be even more reassuring to have  extra confirmation from the next biopsy.

    Lisa, sorry to hear your full results were delayed but glad to hear that you have more clarity xx

  • Hi Jenny.

    Lots of luck for tomorrow.  I will be thinking of you.

    I spoke to the breast care nurses this morning as felt so in limbo since leaving my appointment on Tuesday.  They said that the score from the mammogram was a 5 so very likely cancer.  So I am sure I am going Thursday for clarification and hopefully treatment plan.   Never  felt so sick.

    Nikki xx

     

     

  • Thanks Nikki! Im in the same boat. I also called my nurse a couple of days after my biopsies to ask what the situation was. I think I was in shock on the day and only remember people acting/talking as if it was cancer, but no-one actually telling me! But she said it was 99% certain so tomorrow I'm sure it'll just be confirmed and hopefully a treatment plan put in place. I just want to get on with whatever needs doing!

    Lucy, I missed your post earlier. I'm so happy for you! It's lovely to hear some positive news amidst all the fear and stress!

  • I didn't realise we were so similar.  Is quite disheartening isn't it.  I am so anxious thinking that any twinge or pain elsewhere is it spreading! I really just want to know what's what and get on with getting rid of it . If it is the news we are expecting, then at least we have the support of each other and the rest of the amazing women on this site. What a godsend this has been.

    Sending positive thoughts for tomorrow xx

  • Well done Nikki for being brave enough to call for more information. I'm sorry about your score, but that's news to me, I was just told cancer and no-one mentioned a score before that stereotactic biopsy under mammogram I had last week. I didn't even know they scored the mammograms, so we're all learning here.
     

    To everyone on this site waiting, thanks for sharing and Hopefully you'll get results/treatment plans soon and continue to support each other on this journey - take care Mickey x
