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 mickey sorry not stage 2 it's grade 2!! Waiting to see if it's hormone receptive I think. Was a lot to take in but not a surprise. Virtual hug to you too xxx
Hi Debbie, yes it is a lot to take in, be kind to yourself. I thought you meant grade 2, I've been told they won't stage my cancer til post op. Fingers crossed for hormone receptor results. Mine were positive. Do you know when next week? Sending you love and more virtual hugs, Mickey ️xx
I have been following this discussion the last few weeks while I was waiting for a stereo biopsy and even though I have not posted until now your messages have calmed me and reassured many times during the middle of the night. I was due to get my results tomorrow but the breast care nurse phoned to say that the MDT meeting took place and they want to do further testing on the biopsy sample to get a full and.better picture. I am now in next week and can't believe I have to go through another week of waiting. I had a mammogram in June and they found calcifications that were ADH I had a lumpectomy and had a follow up mammogram a few weeks ago and more calcifications showed up. My mind is gone into overdrive and I'm sitting in work trying not to cry. Has this ever happened to anyone x
Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear this. When you say they want to do more biopsies do you meant the stereotactic ones or additional ones on top of that? I was wondering if you had a date for the stereotactic ones. I know a lot of people here got those done quite speedily, but unfortunately I had a delay with mine. Saying that, I did chase and I was lucky after being cancelled myself to getting a cancellation on the day, for which I was very grateful. We're the calcifications that are now showing microcalcifications do you know and in the same breast? Sending you a virtual hug and lots of support Mickey x
the nurse said they need to run additional tests on the biopsy samples they took last week. I had a stereotactic biopsy last week. The calcifications are micro calcifications are in the same breast and same area as the previous ones that were removed in June.
Hi, I'm curious too as to what additional tests they have to run on your sample. Thank heavens they don't need to re-do the actual biopsies, don't know how you felt, but it certainly wasn't my favourite 90 minutes (lol). That's strange that the microcalcifications came back within less than six months in exactly the same place. I hope they do the tests quickly and come back to you next week. The delays do make it so much harder and I totally understand your mind being in overdrive. I found it hard that I had a clear mammogram and within 10 months had so much going on my breast. I still find that hard to process. Sending another virtual hug and post if it helps - we're always here Mickey x
So just to update you ladies, I have breast cancer.
There are 3 areas of cancer, 1 larger one of DCIS and 2 smalller areas (6mm each) of invasive cancer.
I had a mammogram today and scheduled for an MRI next wednesday. I meet with the consultance on 1st Dec to discuss the treament plan but will either be chemo and then surgery or surgery and then chemo. I have to go on Herceptin as well.
I am shell shocked. Just taking in all the facts- I have no emotion at the moment apart from when the breast cancer nurse was talking about ways to tell my children.
I am so glad that I push to be seen again at the clinc! I knew something wasn't right.
Hi Ebby, I just replied on your feed before you replied here. I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I'm glad they gave you some support on telling your children, so hard for you. Here if you need to chat as I said in my other post. Big supportive virtual hug Mickey xx ️
