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
Well done Lisa, at least you know the BCN was working on your behalf. Monday isn't too long to wait. Thank you, I've still got a headache, hoping I can control it today, thought it was the stress, but need to look at whether it could be a side effect of the codeine x I'll update you later, that's so lovely, thank you Lisa ️ ️ ️Xx
I've just received a call from my breast nurse and everything is absolutely fine, no atypia or malignancy just fibrous changes with sclerosing and complex growth all benign and I'm being discharged.
I'm very happy but it hasn't matched my brain yet.
I'm quite list for words and going to see my mother for a big hug.
I'll stay on here, this experience has affected me and I want to be with you all as you go through the next challenging stages.
I am so grateful to each and everyone fir showing love ad support through the darkest of times
I can't believe it Karen, my husband wrote it all down as my head and heart went in another direction!
I've got a complex sclerosing lesion that mimics cancer so they had to do more biopsies and a fibrocystic adenoma, I can't believe it!
Thank you so muvh for starting this thread, if it wasn't for you doing that I don't think I would've got through or functioned at all. You began this and it's overwhelming how we've all been raw and honest about our journey. So thank you so much
Awww i am so overwhelmed, that is such a lovely thing to say, ive been really low since Monday, ive been messaging jolamine yous have had so much on your plates too, i really thought you had a radial scar, because everything that you said was the same as what i was told, that rhe mammogram mimics a cancer, and the biopsies sounded the same as mine, its a journey and a half thats for sure! I am so pleased everything has turned out to be great news you must be overjoyed! At the sane time its all such a shock to the system! But everyone is amazing on this page, so many brave women, so many different stories but all so supportive to each other, for some reason at the moment im just an irritated moaning b**** lol but that has made my day what you said thank you so much
Hi Mickey, I hope you're okay.- the build up takes it out of you, been thinking about you all day today,, when you're ready and everything sinks in please let me know how it all went
Hi Lisa, it's so lovely of you to still be here caring and supporting us, seriously, I'm so touched by your kindness and caring nature. It wasn't a good appointment, my sister travelled up again for hours to be with me as we thought this would be when we'd get a date, but sadly he seemed to have his own agenda and we were both quite upset during and after. I won't bore you with all the detail, but he clearly never read anything and had made his reconstruction decision, which I rejected and he then in fact discussed every decision he wanted to discuss except the one I have already painstakingly made after lots of consultations and duscussions already. He hasn't arranged an MRI I need (further delay), couldn't be bothered to fill in the form to send me for photos, which I had been told before were needed and so I insisted on that. He tried to dismiss me to go away and think and I had to get quite shirty that I'd made my decision it was still the same and all I was expecting from him was a date for surgery. I had to press him and he says I should get a provisional date within 5-7 days. We were distraught when we left, I phoned my BCN and she has just phoned me back and so I feel more confident now that she will be on my case to get this moving. Fingers crossed!! Sorry for the rant - but thank you for caring xx I'm again so bloomin pleased you had good news, we all certainly needed some xx love n hugs Mickey xx ️ ️ ️

Oh no Mickey, that makes me so sad and I know exactly how that feels as we experienced an ill mannered consultant when my mum was diagnosed with Colon Cancer.
My mother wanted the cancer out, he made out she would die during surgery and went on about fitting a stent into her bowel and all the paperwork was pre-set up for that, I sat down bewildered at what was happening as she kept refusing but getting cut off when explaining she had a choice, I was supposed to be there to help her ask questions but I was boiling up inside I couldn't say anything, my mum wouldn't consent to it kept demanding for open surgery, he slammed his sheets down and ended up walking out of the room, we left in tears with no plan, my sister who works in medical law intervened and she got the go ahead, he sermed angry about that and didn't even tell her at the following up meeting after surgey what stage it was, the experience was extremely traumatic on top of trauma.
I'm so very sorry that happened to you today I hope they never do this to you again and get this whole thing arranged pronto!
I'm gutted, wish I could sort this out for you and give you a huge hug right now xxx
I'm staying behind you all as you navigate through this
I am so sorry you experienced such poor care and lack of empathy. I really hope your BCN can sort out the issues for you, this whole situation os just horrendous, the last thing you need is poor care.
Hi Nikki, thank you for your message and support. I'm really pleased you have a start date for Tuesday, but I totally get your apprehension. Here for you, love n hugs Mickey ️ ️Xx
Thank you Lisa for your support and sharing your personal experience with your Mum. I was saddened to hear that, but pleased it did get resolved. I'm feeling very fragile today, another headache, I know it's the stress. Love n hugs Mickey xx ️ ️
