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
I'm still waiting, keep willing the phone to ring!
I've called his secretary and the receptionist at the breast clinic, I'm fed up of the wait now- it's a new emotion at least, no tears just snapping at everything, I think I'll be breathing fire by tomorrow!!
The waiting is just dreadful, im doing ok well just now anyway pre assessment on Monday then the op 2 weeks later, just want it over now, hated this last couple of months xx
I had my follow up appt today and was told the tumour was 19mm grade 2. My lymph nodes were clear and there was a clear margin around the tumour. I'll be having radiotherapy and take letrozole for 10 years. This all sounds quite positive so I'm relieved. I still have some anxiety about it coming back but hope my fears will ease as living on your nerves is exhausting! Thanks for your replies and best wishes to everyone.
I am delighted to hear that your lympg nodes and margins are both clear. This must be a relief for you.
Radiotherapy and Letrozole are both a challenge, but are 'doable'. We all worry about recurrence but this is something that we have to learn to live with.
That's a relief then, although I know it's still horrid - at least you weren't compressed under mammogram for the vacuum xx back to the waiting now - sending hugs and glad that hurdle crossed x
Oh Lucy, I can imagine the pain, you've gone through a lot, I'm still sore after my Core biopsy, I think you've been brave
Today I had a complete meltdown as I was promised I would have the results yesterday, what tipped me over the edge was that I spoke to a Cancer UK nurse who said "What makes your results more important than everyone else's" I put the phone down, all I was ringing for was advice, it terribly upset me.
I've exhausted all options and stressing myself out chasing the secretary, I'm at a loss.
If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it.
I wish you ladies all the best, I will keep in touch with whatever happens
