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
Thankyou for the kind Reply. Yes Cancer is a Devil, my Dad only passed away on the 15th September so was hard telling my mum.
I didn't have an MRI maybe that will follow, mine is invasive Ductal Carsinoma, it's in my breast tissue not in the duct anymore and is around 16mm , My Lymph nodes were also clear on the ultrasound but I think they do a biopsy while they are there just to be sure.( I know every case is different)
I found my lump in the summer but didn't do anything until October, so pleased I did as I didn't want too.
The lumpectomy has been fine, I have tiny boobs but make sure you get a good front fastening bra, mine was a post op bra from marks and spenders and is great , my husband took the week off as it was half term, it's the Anestetic knocked me for six,. My arm pit is the most Sore but it's very manageable.
sorry if too much information I do tend too ramble
I hope yours goes well, have you had any results back? Sorry if you have already been through this the feed is soo long.
Thank you for all the info, it's so helpful. I'm terrible with general anaesthetic so dreading that part the most!
I went in with a lump and had mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. They said at the time they were 50/50 as to whether it was cancer. My biopsy result showed no cancer but then did a vaccum biopsy to 'double check.'
The vacuum biopsy has detected invasive cancer. They said my breast tissue is really dense ( I have big boobs) and this is why they are doing an MRI so that they can see how much cancer is in there. They haven't named it yet but have just said stage 1-2 and said it's estrogen positive. She seems sure it's a small area but we'll see.
I only found my lump after Sarah Harding's death made me check. No idea how long it had been there. It's right underneath.
I'm so sorry about your dad. That is still very raw. Your poor mum. xx
That's the part im dreading too the anaesthetic the pain you get shooting up your arm, then tbe unknown with all this what will the pain be like, bruising, mood etc, its a dreadful thing to go through, i hate the feel of it after all the biolsies etc definitely doesnt feel like the other side, puncture wounds, and obviously things healing, then boom its an operation, its such a personal thing, invasion of your body thats private, i got nice bras, pants and pjs from prinark the breast cancer range its really nice! Dusky pink.
We are all different with our diagnoses and i pray theres nothing lurking about when they take away the radial scar, im on my last week of self isolating (demented) got to get my covid test on Friday then hospital 7.30am on Monday morning, cant fault the breast clinic or hospital, everyone so nice and on the ball, just be glad when its all over! As i said everyone on this page you are all angels im glad i joined in September everyone understands each other, a bunch of amazing, strong women who have experienced so much and here to tell the tale and still be so supportive to others on this horrible journey
Will be thinking of you Monday. Ooh will definitely be heading to primark to get some nice pj's and bras! That's it, we start to heal then it's on the the next thing!
Well I've managed a shower and actually got dressed. Something I didn't think I'd be able to do after only getting my diagnosis last night. Only had 3 hours sleep, can't wait for bed xx
Thats so good you've managed a shower and got dressed, the hospital sounds like they are on the ball too and they are looking after you, you have good family and friends supporting you, along with the girls on this site, they way i see things hun we can't change whats beyond our control but we will come out of this horrid journey being stronger wonen
I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 2
I had a small opp to remove partial areola, biopsy, unfortunately i didn't have clear margins
I had another opp, wide excisional perforation flap
Removed nipple and cut to chest wall, I had skin put in place and they filled the breast with my tissue, I went back 2 weeks later ...and I had clear margins, I am on Anastrozole, I am Er positive and u see oncologist Thursday this week to discuss my radiotherapy plan , I will probably have re construction next year...but all is good , chin up, its treatable xxxxxxxxx hugs xxxx

Thank you so much for sharing your experience June. Yes they've talked about checking margins, I'm wondering if this is what my MRI is for? Apparently I have too much dense tissue in my breast to see anything on a mammogram. So you have avoided chemo?
