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?
Hi Debbie, I'm sorry to hear that, the anxiety is awful. I hope you manage to nap. I keep trying myself today as my BCN never phoned me back, sending virtual hugs and positivity to you. Will be thinking of you Mickey xx
Thanks mickey xx I hope you're ok and not stressing too much, a lot easier said than done!! I'm not worried so much about the results as my lump is so small, it's just the waiting I can't stand. What will be will be it's just so nerve wracking. I hope you're ok. I've been listening to the headspace app and found it very relaxing maybe something like that would help you to relax too xx
I am also waiting on biopsy results. I'm extremely anxious. Found a lump and had mammogram and ultrasound and biopsies last week. Very stressed out as doctor said they were "very worrying results", calicifications showed on mammogram and I have since seen my clinical notes which gave my mammogram score of M5. I'm not sure I even have any hope that it isn't cancer in some form.
Thanks Debbie, I'm glad the headspace app is helping you. Do you have far to go for your apt? I find exercise and music help, just having a bit of a dip day, but fortunately tomorrow is a new one and so start afresh x that's the beauty x I'm glad you're in a good place for your results, that's really positive, thinking of you xx
Hi, I also started my journey with a lump and then was told that my mammogram showed microcalcifications also and I needed further stereotactic biopsies. I never saw my clinical notes though, admittedly an M5 score I believe (don't quote me) shows they are suspicious, but a lot of calcifications do turn out to be benign (as do lumps). I understand your worry, did they say what the next steps are for you? Mickey x
No idea re next steps. From my (very extensive!) googling m5 is either probably malignant or an actual malignant visual diagnosis. I was clueless to all this stuff last week! I'm proper panicking just because having a doctor tell me something is very concerning and telling me he suggests I have someone with me for biopsy results has really made me panic. That combined with the M5 score has made me feel pretty hopeless. Sorry to hear you've been through it! Have you had the results of your biopsies yet?
Strange calling anything about cancer "good news", because just over 4 weeks ago, it was just devastating hearing that word. But the wife's body, bone and breast scans have all come back as clear, barring of course the 4.5cm lump and 2 lymph nodes under her left arm. So treatment is curative rather than palliative, so we're taking that as a victory.
Up there with one of the best days of my life and hopefully will be topped the day we get told NED. She will start treatment this Thursday.
I'm sorry to hear that, do you have a date for your results yet? It's always advisable to take someone with you to results (even if you're clear), it's such an emotional process you need someone with you. I understand your panic and I don't believe that they can ever really be sure if cancer until they have the biopsy results. I've seen plenty of examples of looks like cancer not being cancer and vice versa. I know it's impossible not to worry and I can't tell you what your prognosis will be either, but you will only know for sure when you get your results. Yes, my lump was a rare cancer and I have two areas of different graded dcis, but that's my diagnosis, yours may be completely positive/different - you really don't know, until they tell you. There's lots of positive outcomes all the time. We're all here for you - Mickey x
