Waiting on breast biopsy results

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?

  • Thanks - appointment date is Thursday at 12:30! Am literally on countdown for it!

  • Not long, that's positive - are you taking someone with you? X understand the countdown feeling x

  • Yes my partner is coming with me. I just feel like I'm swinging between full on panic and then calming myself down thinking it may well be all for nothing. The doctor being so negative really surprised me. It wasn't so much anything he said it was more the total lack of reassurance. And the fact he said "very worrying" about 3 times! Anyway not long to go now. I walked in convinced id be told "fibroidadonema blah blah blah" and now I can't seem to get my head around the fact they didn't! In fact a big part of me is still expecting to go on Thursday and be told "oh it's a finroidadenoma after all!" I'm not sure if that's a possibility or not at this stage. 

  • I often think consultants just don't have the 'people skills' and that makes it so much harder for us at the receiving end . I'm glad your partner is coming with you, you will have support whatever the outcome and that's the important thing, so I'm learning xx Mickey xx

  • Thinking of you Debbie, here if and when you want to talk xx Mickey x 

  • I'm so sorry you're in this position too.

    The wait is terrible and it knocks you sick with worry, I was M3 and U3 and after biopsy after biopsy it is benign although I was told it looked like cancer, I'm still getting over the shock and recovering from the emotional distress the last seven weeks have caused. 

    All I can say is take deep breaths and cry when you need to  

    I really hope he's got it wrong, I found myself being on countdown to results, it's dreadful. What I wish I knew at the start was to give my partner questions to ask if I forgot, take a notebook and write it all down or give to your partner to do if you're overwhelmed.

    I'll be thinking of you on Thursday, please let me know what happens.

    Love and hugs

  • Thank you! Results are on Thursday so not long at all although it feels likes forever. I have been really emotional since the biopsy. I swing between thinking it's definitely cancer and it absolutely isn't. It's an emotional rollercoaster. I'm glad your results were good, what a relief!

  • Hi 3beforeme - I realised and sent more details on that message, just some tips on results day etc

    The emotional aspect takes you by surprise and it really makes you feel like a yo yo, it leaves you exhausted.

    I really hope everything is okay, I hope you get answers on your results day and don't have to go through more biopsies, but if you do we're all here and we will be behind you and can give you the best advice and support.

     

  • Hi Mickey 

    Dropping in to say I'm thinking about you, I don't want to ask if you've had any update because I feel I'm going to jinx it but I hope this is sorted soon, it's been such a long wait!

    How is the shoulder? 

  • Thank you Lisa, sadly no update yet, hopefully tomorrow, I'll keep you updated and thank  you for caring no xx ️ ️
