Hi I had my biopsy last week get my results on Tuesday. Very anxious. Good luck and hope all is well with you.

Hi there, Just to echo what everyone else has said really - the waiting is intense and so I'm really pleased you only have to wait til Tuesday, it will soon be here. Try and do something that relaxes you this weekend to help time pass positively for you. Hugs Mickey x 

Thanks mickey. I hope you don't mind but I had a read through your posts, I think your lump is in the same place as mine? Lower outer quadrant? Have you had your surgery yet? Good luck if tou havent. Thinking of all you ladies. This forum is amazing xx

Hi there, I don't mind you asking anything that's what it's all about for me, talking about the journey and trying to support others through theirs. Yes my lump is on my right breast under the nipple towards the outer right of the breast. Since I had the marker put it, it's been difficult to wear a bra because it catches on it. When I was shown the lump (and separate areas of DCIS') on the mammogram, I was surprised that the lump looked higher up than it feels, but still in same area. No, I'm still waiting a surgery date, I had numerous delays because after the core biopsies on the lump, they wanted to do the stereotactic biopsies under mammogram on the microcalcifications so that they could verify the extent of the dcis' s. From my point of view, it's made no difference to what I knew would have to happen anyway, but it has meant that I'm still waiting for my surgery date. I'm glad the forum is helping you and not long til Tuesday xx hope that helps, hugs Mickey xx ️

Thanks mickey, yes that's exactly the same with the position of my lump. Both the breast surgeon and radiologist expressed concern but obviously won't comment until the pathology results are in. In my gut I feel it's cancer but on the positive it's been detected whist still very small. My mum was diagnosed at the same age as me and passed away 10 years later which is why I'm anxious I suppose xx I'm going out for dinner and lots of alcohol this evening so hopefully will sleep better xxx

Personally, I think that if they have told you they are suspicious that it's better to prepare yourself just in case,  it also remember they don't always get it right and you'll only know for sure on Tuesday. I knew mine was cancer, but again, others have felt that way and been given the all clear. It's just so hard waiting and so I'm so glad you don't have too long to wait.  What age range are you? You don't have to answer that of course, but I totally understand that the connection in age with you and your mother would be an additional concern for you. I'm sorry to hear that, my dad passed of cancer when I was a teen and so I know how hard that can be. Going out for dinner and drinks is a great plan, enjoy your evening and life most important xx hugs Mickey ️Xx

Hi mickey I'm 49, mum was 50. I'm sure whatever it is it will be fine. The lump is very small approx 2cm. Thank you for your kind replies. Debbie xx

Morning Debbie, how was your meal and drinkies? Most important to enjoy this time. You're right whatever it is, you will be fine, hopefully benign, but if not highly treatable. 2cm is the estimated size of my lump, but one of the clusters of DCIS is over double that. I was quite shocked when they told me that around 50 meant that they weren't so interested in family cancer history because 'it's a high risk age group anyway' - having said that at every apt they still want my family history and give a 'knowing sigh' when I tell them?? Enjoy your Sunday xx ️ ️

Hi mickey had a really lovely evening thank you and today spent the day with my sister and brother in law equally lovely. Just waiting for Tuesday to be over and done with. I don't feel anxious at all today and feeling very positive I'm sure everything will be fine xxx

That's really great news Debbie, glad to hear it - all will be fine xx ️
