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 

Hi Snow Drop

Just dropping in to say a huge good luck for Wednesday with  results/treatment plan. 

Be as strong as you can possibly be

Take care, sending love xxx

Thank you so much, gosh that's meant so much to me.

I must admit my mind has been working over drive and don't know how I will cope if it's travelled to my Lymph Nodes. I am trying too stay positive.

Thanks Again For being so Kind ️

You are so welcome  

It's not long now and completely normal to wander into the unknown,  deep breaths and do what has helped you function so far, regardless of how small it is.

Take care, will send you huge hug in spirit

Let me know what happens xxx

Hi lisa

Thankyou so much, i was home about 3.30 ,everything went well, bloody sore now though going to be a lot of bruising to go back in 3 weeks for the follow up

Love karen

I'm so glad it went well  

I think you've done absolutely amazing, your situation has been going on for such a long time,  it takes some going waiting all that time!

Ooohhh can only imagine the soreness, my breast is so bruised from the VAB I'm having to prop it with a pillow to get some sleep relief! Did they say how long healing takes?  

Watch something nice and rest and recuperate Karen - you may not realise it but you've gone through such a lot  

Let me know how you get on xxx

Hi lisa

So kind with your lovely words, i cant sleep have saw every hour on the clock, so i think im just over tired now, ive to get a follow up in 3 weeks with the surgeon and have a drs line from the hospital for 3 weeks, dont know if im just overwhelmed with it all now, the rollercoaster of emotions over the last 3 months i dont know. 4.30am this is rubbish lol

Love and hugs

Karen

Hi.. It is Rosie wishing you lots of love today hoping that you finally get your results ... hopefully I haven't missed anything have been thinking of you. All good wishes and lots of love xxx

Hi Lisa Rosie again just noticed your results are tomorrow so sending you lots of love and strength and best wishes . The awful wait will be at an end hopefully.  It's such a long process you are so strong and positive.. with much love to you and your family. Xxx

That made me laugh Rosie, even had to double check appointment letter!  

Means so much, thank you, I hope you are okay

Hi Lisa, I'm so sorry, I thought I'd replied to you, but think I didn't - apologies, it wasn't intentional - head a bit over the place and do have a frozen shoulder now too (bloomin awful biopsies).  Well I've got an apt Friday am with plastic surgeon and so I hope things will finally start moving. Are your results tomorrow? Keeping everything crossed for you and apologies again. Love n hugs Mickey xx

Hi Mickey, no worries at all it's lovely to hear from you, not long now until Friday, it seems forever waiting for a plan, we could write a book on patience! 

Had a pretty awful week after VAB and just received a phone call that my appointment today is cancelled and I'll get another appointment next week- feeling pretty low about it as I didn't sleep very well - worry and like you awful shoulder pain!

I hope and pray everything is in place for you on Friday and that you can begin treatment as soon as possible.

Take care of yourself, especially with the shoulder pain as well, sending you a huge but gentle hug and love

Hi Lisa, thanks for the reply. I'm so sorry they've cancelled your apt today, did they say why ? ? ? The wait is awful - do you know when next week or are they still trying to sort that?  Sleeping is so hard with the constant anxiety heightened by delays, but with painful shoulder too, believe me I feel your pain. Please don't do what I did and carry on ignoring the pain until it froze, it really is a significant problem now for me and I'd hate that to happen to you, Lisa xx 

I'm hoping Friday will start getting into date mode, I'm not sure how any of us cope with these constant delays, but it's certainly trying. 

I assume you found it impossible not to cling on for dear life with those biopsies too then - I'm so sorry, I was hoping to help deter you, but another impossibility.  Please look after your shoulder and yourself Lisa. I loved your closing hug and back at you xx ️ ️

Hi Mickey, think the MDT meeting is tomorrow and I might get an appointment on Monday, but no idea why it was delayed, a glitch they said...

Ha ha cling on to dear life I did!! I couldn't visualise the waterfall- more like the Niagra Falls on a bad day! 

Good luck with everything on Friday, I really hope it's all go and things move swiftly from now on, thanks for your advice on the shoulder as well,  take care my friend

Hi Lisa, if you feel up to it you could always ring tomorrow afternoon and ask for the BCN to tell you if the MDT was heard and could she tell you the outcome? Or you can wait til Monday. You know I've had mixed experiences doing that, but it's made me feel a bit more like I'm trying to take some control back. 
 

I had to laugh at your Niagra Falls comment on a bad day, so thanks for that, good to remember you can still giggle. But seriously look after and rest that arm xx 

I'll keep you posted re Friday as I know you will Lisa. Awwww, you take care too my friend xx ️ ️

That's great advice Mickey, thanks so much xxx

Hi Girls

i am so sorry to post as I know everyone has their own worried I'm just so so worried 

I had my results yesterday, Its Still stage 1a as not in my lymph Nodes,, I need too go back again to get a clear margin ( that's okay) it's HeR2-, I'm so worried though as it's now a grade 3 not a 2 as originally said!! I'm going out of my mind with worry that this will definitely re-occur after treatment. They have sent it off too America to be tested for re occurrence score and what treatment is best. The consultant didn't seem worried but I'm so scared that it's going too come back. I'm 38 with two young sons. I just feel so worried. Any advice would be good xxx 

Hi Snow-Drop, I don't know but didn't want to go by without sending you some because of this worry.

Hopefully someone with knowledge will come on soon about that,  stage 1a seems it is a good stage so that's very reassuring but someone with the mote experience will know more facts to explain it to you. There is a post called Grade 3 Breast Cancer and two ladies Magpiemaggie and Chriss seem very knowledgeable in this area xxx

I hope you find out soon to ease your worries  

Love

Lisa xxx
