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 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 Nikki, any update for you since the clear scan? Big hugs Mickey xx 

Hi,

Sorry I am new here, and I can't work out how to post.

I am waiting for my results from some biopsys on Friday (5th) I am being seen on 17th and the consultant has already said I am going to have to have a MRI and a mammogram so it's not looking good. I have had a lump for over a year now. Was seen initally in January, but they dismissed it as I was still breastfeeding. I finished breastfeeding in August. The lump still didn't go, so was referred by my GP again. This time, I had a female consultant, who I feel took me seriously, wasn't rough when examining me and made me feel like my concerns were real. The dr who did the ultrasound found 2 lumps behind the big lump of breast tissue. One which she said was probably a cyst and another one that 'she wasn't happy with'. I had had 3 biopsys taken and 2 clips left inside for further scans. 

I have 2 daughters 1 and 3 years old. I am terrified and the waiting is killing me quite honestly. 

I don't feel like I can talk to those in my life. My husband keeps saying it'll be fine but I am so worried about not being able to work or be a mum to my girls.

Sorry again for jumping on the thread, but just needed to get this out.

Hi Mickey

Thank you for thinking of me.  I have just been to see the Oncologist and have a plan for chemo to start ASAP, 6 sessions (3xEC and 3xDoxetaxel), then surgery and then radiation. So now just waiting to hear from the  chemo team to contact me to make arrangements.

hope you are ok?

Sending love.  Nikki ️ Xx

Hi Ebby088

The wait is awful, sorry you're having to through this as well.

I've had core biopsies  which came back benign but they were still concerned it didn't match the mammogram images so last week had Vacuum Assisted biopsy in mammogram machine, I was desperately hoping today I'd know what the results were but it was cancelled, so the dreaded sickly wait continues,.

I have had so many meltdowns about the future because I get so upset for my children, seems it's part of the process but it is really hard at times to function so my heart goes out to you as you navigate life through this, I don't have any tips as I couldn't really function at all, but I could chat on here which was a blessing and it allowed me to offload the burden of emotions  so I could function for a bit. 

I'm glad you reached out to us, chat anytime 

Love Lisa xxx

Thank you Nikki, my results cancelled again, never mind!

Looks like you're on your next step of the journey,  each session which will fly past, it really does.

I will be thinking of you, if you give the cold cap a go lots of water and conditioner apparently helps reduce the shedding and just take a warm cardigan or throw to wrap around you.

Sending love

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
