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,

Jolamine xx

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 

Thanks hun. Was definitely alittle more uncomfortable than the last one but it's all done now.

Bless you Lucy, least it's done, was it under mammogram or ultrasound? I was relieved to get mine over and done, I must admit x 

It was under ultrasound and then they put another marker in and did a mammogram. x

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 

Goodness yes that would've been worse! This was bad enough. Thank you hun xx

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

Love to all

Lisa

Hi Moira,

I'm glad to hear that you got it all over and done with early. Don't worry, the drain doesn't usually stay in for long. I hope that you're not too sore now.

Thinking of you.

Hi Lucy,

It does leave you a little soreer than the normal biopsy, but that's it behind you now and not too long to wait for the results, which is good.

Kind regards,

Hi Lucy, I had a similar problem today ringing the BCN to check if my results were in from vacuum assist under mammogram and heard at MDT (as I was told to do by consultant and another BCN). The BCN I spoke to was 'quite off'' also and disregarded everything I said I'd been told and kept referring to me needing to be told at my next consultant apt on 3rd November. I was pretty upset when I got off the phone and getting a bit paranoid about why she wouldn't tell me. I've thought about it and decided yes, she might not have wanted to give me bad news, but perhaps she was having a bad day and I'll wait to call another day xx 

Sorry Lisa, my reply was to you, typo and wrong link I think - sorry xx
