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... Rosie here  I am so so so glad for you .... I was the same as you and discharged... I got outside the hospital burst into tears my husband said why are you crying it is benign ... it is like all the weeks of emotion come out ... and you can't quite believe it.  It took my days to calm down .. and not sure I am truly calm yet... you are just so so so grateful . And then feel awful because you are one of the very very lucky ones ..and you feel a bit guilty.

I still log on  and will continue to as have an affinity with the lovely ladies on here, you , Lucy ,Nicki we  all started our journey more or less the same day.

Also to Karen and Jolamine and all the other ladies that helped and understood  and been so supportive...The support was invaluable and fabulous . Until you are on this journey don't think you can appreciate how the waiting, fear , anxiety and the 3am laying in bed unable to sleep can affect you.

I thank you all  from the bottom of my heart.  I will continue to log on and see how you are keeping .I know this sounds  a bit strange when I have never met you ... but you are my kindred spirits and I will always keep you in my thoughts...  Keep in touch Lots of love Rosie 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  

Love Lisa xxx

My dear Rosie ♥ thank you so much for writing that, I too have all those thought and feelings.

I can't switch off from this and just feel connected like family to everyone and never want to leave their side.

Please, please keep in touch with me Rosie, thank you for being a tower of strength

 I feel blessed to know someone like you

Hi mickey

I hope you are ok, what a complete and utter dick of a man having an attitude! What actually happened to nice bedside manners, for a woman this is such an invasive and personal journey that we have been going through for months and to be spoken to like a piece of s*** like lisa also makes me sad too!  Glad you spoke to your nurse who gave you a bit of reassurance and you have all us who treat you the way you deserve to be treated, I dont know what i would have done without you girls the last few weeks, you are all such inspirations and the most amazing women who i wish i actually personally knew, the nice thing i feel like i know you all

And on the happy note for a Saturday morning i thought id just share the news even though im feeling a bit s*** im going to make yous all jealous im going to see marti pellow tonight think i should chuck him my post surgery bra tonight? a change for him than frilly knickers eh lol

Lots of love girls

Hello Mickey

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.

Sending love.
